Case summary:
Mr. R drinks two quarts of low sodium beer after anatomy and physiology examination.
Adequate information:
Urine is a waste product that is produced to excrete cellular waste. It also helps in regulating the amount of water, the blood volume and blood pressure of the body, which is a part of homeostasis. Some other factors are also involved in regulating blood volume and urine formation such as the renin-angiotensin system and anti-diuretic hormone feedback system.
To determine:
The effects produced by the beer on urine concentration and volume. Also, the mechanism involved is to be determined.
Given Information:
The concentration and volume of the urine changes when Mr. R drink beer or alcohol. The mechanism involved in the formation of urine changes because alcohol suppresses the proper functioning of the kidney.
