A 48 year-old woman with diabetic nephropathy was suffering from end-stage renal disease. They received a kidney transplant 3 months ago and renal function is now considered normal. Since the transplant, their anti-rejection medication regime involves 20mg prednisolone once a day.What test results might be expected when considering the impact of prednisolone on the body? Select ALL that apply [3 marks]- hyperlipemia -increased plasma ACTH - increased plasma cortisol - hyperkalaemia -hyponatremia -anaemia -decreased plasma 11-deoxycortisol

A 10-week-old child was admitted to hospital suffering from a salt wasting crisis. Ultrasound scans of the patient's adrenal glands revealed they were enlarged but all other major organs appeared to be within normal parameters. Although the child appeared phenotypically female, karyotyping showed the child to be 46XY. Blood tests revealed the following biochemical profile: - sodium of 109 (reference range: 134-147) - potassium of 6.1 (reference range: 3.5-5.0) - pregnenolone of 0.002 (reference range: 0.3-1.5) - renin activity of 38 (reference range: 0.5-3.5) - 17-OH pregnenolone of 0.01 (reference range: 6.8-93.5) - ACTH of 1960 (reference range: <26) Additional testing showed an accumulation of cholesterol esters in the adrenal glands, and it was also noted that the concentrations of ∆4-androstenedione were barely detectable. Genetic analysis of all the enzymes involved in steroid biosynthesis did not detect any detrimental mutations affecting their functionality. Treatment…

A two-month old child was admitted to hospital after failure to thrive. The “boy”, whose external genitalia were ambiguous, was found to have elevated blood pressure, but no dehydration. The following measurements were made on a plasma sample taken on admission: Variable Result Reference Range Urea (mM) 6.2 2.5 - 7.0 Creatinine (μ�M) 95 60 - 120 Glucose (mM) 4.3 3.5 - 5.5. (fasting) Na+ (mM) 170 134 -147 K+ (mM) 2.8 3.5 - 5.0 11 -deoxycortisol (nM) 57 <10 Deoxycorticosterone (nM) 1.3 <0.4 Cortisol (nM) 22 138 - 690 Testosterone (nM) 7.4 0.5 -3.2 (adult female) 5 - 40 (adult male) The concentrations of progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and ∆4-androstenedione were also increased above the reference range. A chromosome analysis showed that the child was a genotypic female (46, XX karyotype). A consultant obstetrician initially diagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia, however they were confused by the…
Erthy is given an intravenous antibiotic (gentamicin) at a dose of 7 mg/kg per day for a period of 7 days. This dose will be assessed after a week and adjusted accordingly. The gentamicin will be administered in 87 mL of Normal Saline (NS) over a time period of 20 minutes. Please answer the following questions: How much will Erthy be getting per day in mg based on this order? How much volume of the gentamicin (in mL) should be added to the IV bag; the concentration of gentamicin is 10 mg per mL. By including the volume of the gentamicin solution added to the IV bag (i.e. the volume of the bag will be 87 mL plus the volume of the gentamicin solution), calculate the IV flow rate for this infusion in both mL/min and mL/hr.

Given the following scenarios, describe whether the dialysis bags would gain, lose or stay the same in weight. a. 15 mL of 20% sucrose was added to a dialysis tubing bag and then weighed. The dialysis tubing bag is only permeable to water. It was then placed into a beaker containing distilled water for one hour. The weight of the bag was then measured. Did the dialysis tubing bag gain, lose or stay the same weight? Explain your reasoning. b. 15 mL of 40% sucrose was added to a dialysis tubing bag and then weighed. The dialysis tubing bag is only permeable to water. It was then placed into a beaker containing distilled water for one hour. The weight of the bag was then measured. Did the dialysis tubing bag gain, lose or stay the same weight? Explain your reasoning. c.15 mL of 60% sucrose was added to a dialysis tubing bag and then weighted. The dialysis tubing bag is only permeable to water. It was then placed into a beaker containing distilled water for one hour. The weight of the bag…
