Concept explainers
Case summary:
In diabetes mellitus, the patients are enabling to produce enough insulin that causes increased blood glucose levels. If the blood glucose level rises high enough, then the kidney stops the reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate and excrete an excess of the glucose into the urine.
Adequate information:
The anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) helps in decreasing the urine volume. The posterior pituitary gland secretes it. Its secretion is stimulated by the osmoreceptor cells present in the plasma. They produce their response during an increased ion concentration of the blood.
To determine:
The effect produces by the glucose on urine concentration. Also, the way the body adjusts to the excess glucose in the urine is to be determined.
Given Information:
The excess quantity of glucose is excreted in the urine due to the increased level of blood glucose. The glucose level in the blood increase when the pancreas does not secrete a sufficient amount of insulin.

- Certain types of lung tumors secrete one or more hormones. What would happen to plasma and urine osmolality and urine volume in a patient with a lung tumor that secretes vasopressin? Why?arrow_forwardWhy does glucose appear in the urine of a diabetic? Group of answer choices The kidneys produce glucose in diabetes. The proteins for glucose reabsorption reach their maximum rate of transport. No glucose is filtered into the glomerular filtrate. Glucose is secreted into the nephron tubules.arrow_forwardRenin is an important proteolytic enzyme produced by the kidney, involved in the control of salt/water balance in the body. Explain the source of renin, how it is secreted and how it acts to ultimately influence plasma volume. A separate hormonal system exists for directly controlling kidney water reabsorption. Explain how this hormone is released and how it exerts its renal effects.arrow_forward
- Explain what excretion rates of the glucose are when the plasma concentration of glucose is 1. 100mg/100 mL 2.350mg/100 mL (this only needs to be an estimation/prediction of glucose excretion ,not actual numbers)arrow_forwardIn pituitary diabetes insipidus, describe the renal handling of water and water balance in the patient in terms of frequency of thirst and urination.arrow_forwardDiabetic nephropathy typically does NOT present as hematuria. Come up with a hypothesis why not (hint: this should involve the filtration membrane).arrow_forward
- Sodium ion reabsorption from the filtrate into peritubular blood across the cells of this component of the nephron (marked by the black asterisk) Choose from the following: (A) is regulated by the binding of the hormone aldosterone (B) is not regulated by any hormone, but is determined by sodium ion concentration and filtrate flowarrow_forwardTRUE or FALSE. Unneeded materials and waste travel to a collecting tube, which is part of a nephron. All of the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once a day Your liver is part of the urinary The main job of the kidneys is to filter your blood Capillaries carry blood into the nephron Water liquid is called urine There are 100 nephrons in each kidney Urine travels from your kidneys to your bladder in the urethra. Urine travels out of your body through the urethra. Blood leaves the kidneys through a renal vein and returns to the main circulatory system.arrow_forwardGiven these effects . Increase the amount of sodium lost at the kidneys II Decrease the amount of water lost at the kidneys III. Decrease blood pressure IV. Increase digestive absorption Which one is the primary effect of ADH secretion?arrow_forward
- are both statements correct? In the absence of ADH, the kidneys produce dilute urine; renal tubules absorb more solutes than water. In the presence of ADH, the kidneys produce concentrated urine; large amounts of water are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid into interstitial fluid, increasing solute concentration of the urinearrow_forwardThose with chronic renal failure often have issues with anemia because the kidney cannot secrete sufficient levels of renin.arrow_forwardAlcohol and caffeine inhibit the effects of antidiuretic hormone.Explain why drinking beer or coffee increases the frequency ofurination. If your urine appears dilute (is light yellow) after drinkingbeer or coffee, does that indicate that you are well hydrated?arrow_forward
