Question
Does this chart show the patient has Glomerulonephritis or Nephrotic Syndrome? Look at renal chart and determine the disorder. How does this renal result defer from a healthy individual?
For the past several months, a 24-year-old male has experienced fatigue, puffiness, and overall weakness.
One day he noticed his urine had a red to brown discoloration, and that his urine volume was minimal. He
went to the emergency room, where urinalysis, blood work, and other tests were done to obtain the
following data:
Urinalysis results
Hematology results
Appearance
Red to brown
Serum sodium
125 mEq/L
Specific gravity
1.025
Serum potassium
6 mEq/L
Blood
Positive
Serum creatinine
2.6 mg/dL
Glucose
Negative
BUN
24.0 mg/dL
Protein
Mild
pH (arterial)
7.32
Renal function tests
Hematocrit
25%
GFR (glom. filt. rate)
40 mL/min
RBF (renal blood flow)
280 mL/min
1. What disorder is affecting this individual? What situation(s) predispose an individual to this disorder?
