For each case identify the physiological problem and explain what data you used to come to your conclusion. a) A child’s parent makes an appointment with the doctor because the child is experiencing pain in the pelvis. Also when he urinates his urine is odorless and red. The doctor tested his urine and found normal glucose levels, extra proteins but no ketones or leukocytes. b) A 38 year old, overweight pregnant woman comes in for her routine appointment. She is 28 weeks pregnant, complaining that she is constantly thirsty and saying that she spends all her time running to the bathroom. She has also been feeling more lethargic. No abnormal cells were found in her urine, pH was normal but the urine sample results revealed the presence of glucose. c) An eighty-year-old woman, who is recently having trouble with her memory, is admitted to hospital. They test her golden amber and foul-smelling urine and find the specific gravity to be higher than normal and leukocytes, as well as nitrites, are present in her blood.
