Chapter 15, Problem 29SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The changes that occur in the function of the kidney and bladder during old age.
Introduction:
The urinary system clears out nitrogenous waste in the form of urea from the body. Kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system. It also helps in the regulation of the electrolytes and water in the body. The urinary bladder stores and concentrates urine. Anything amiss in their functioning due to old age or bacterial infection causes conditions such as polyuria, nocturia, and urinary retention.

It is a common sign of diabetes mellitus. Glucose Glycosuria or Glucosuria Albumin Albuminuria Caused by damage to the glomerular and resulting in the leakage of large quantities of protein, including albumin, into the filtrate. filtration mer Red blood cells Caused by damage to the glomerular filtration membrane, allowing whole cells from the blood to pass into the filtrate.
