Many medications make the epithelium of the collectingduct less permeable to water. How would taking such amedication affect kidney output?
A patient with cancer is treated with chemotherapy. This specific medication is eliminated by the kidney. Results from a renal plasma clearance test are higher than average. Will the medication need to be given more or less often? Explain.
Renal clearance is the
1) Amount of creatinine in urine
2) Urine concentration of a substance divided by the urine volume per unit of time
3) Volume of plasma from which a substance is removed per unit of time
4) Volume of urine produced per day
