Table 3. Serum creatinine values at admission and after 12h
| Admission | +12h | |
| SCR(mg/dL) | 1.55 | 1.42 |
Using the “MDRD” (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) equation for estimating glomerular
filtration, provided below, and the data available in the above table, calculate the patient's (a 34 year old white male) estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) at admission and 12h after admission.
MDRD GFR Equation (mL/min/1.73 m2)
= 175 × (Scr)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.212 if African American)
Based on your calculated values, state whether LF’s function is normal or abnormal?
Previous research suggests that patients with asthma have an increased risk for chronic kidney
disease, but the mechanisms underlying this increased risk are poorly understood. Propose one potential mechanism by which asthma might impair kidney function, and discuss how this dysfunction may impair the
body’s ability to respond to respiratory alkalosis
