Question
Covid-19 patients may develop acute pulmonary edema (fluid retention in the lungs), and furosemide is often used to treat it.
Another potential complication of covid-19 is acute kidney damage. Possible causes include hypoxia, blood clots and inflammation. To evaluate a patient for kidney damage, a medical team took blood samples and placed a catheter to collect urine for 24 hrs.
Here are some results:
- Plasma creatinine: 50 mg/100 mL plasma
- Urine creatinine: 40.8 mg/mL urine
- Urine production: 1.5 L in 24 hr
1. What was the patient's creatinine clearance in mL/min? (Creatinine clearance = excretion rate of creatinine/plasma concentration creatinine). Show your work.
