explain the effect on the dependent variable if the independent variable increases

How can you apply the Michaelis-Menten dynamics to explain what happens in plasma concentration of a solute reaches Tm and the effect that has on the Clearance of the solute?

Table 3. Serum creatinine values at admission and after 12h   Admission  +12h SCR(mg/dL)  1.55  1.42 Using the “MDRD” (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease) equation for estimating glomerularfiltration, provided below, and the data available in the above table, calculate the patient's (a 34 year old white male) estimated glomerularfiltration rate (eGFR) at admission and 12h after admission.MDRD GFR Equation (mL/min/1.73 m2)= 175 × (Scr)-1.154 × (Age)-0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.212 if African American)Based on your calculated values, state whether LF’s function is normal or abnormal?Previous research suggests that patients with asthma have an increased risk for chronic kidneydisease, but the mechanisms underlying this increased risk are poorly understood. Propose one potential mechanism by which asthma might impair kidney function, and discuss how this dysfunction may impair thebody’s ability to respond to respiratory alkalosis

A. You have 3% (w/v) concentrated saline in 20 mL ampoules. What volume and how many ampoules do you need to make 1 L of an isotonic saline solution (0.9% w/v). i) 300 mL of 3% (w/v) saline; 15 ampoules 360 mL of 3% (w/v) saline; 18 ampoules 120 mL of 3% (w/v) saline; 6 ampoules 240 mL of 3% (w/v) saline; 12 ampoules iii) iv)

A kidney patient is receiving dialysis to adjust the solutes in his blood to normal values. Assume the dialysis bag is permeable to urea, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate to determine which way each molecule would move. Normal Blood Values: Urea: 7-20 mg/dcl Potassium: 3.6-5.2 mg/dcl Sodium: 135-145 mg/dcl Bicarbonate: 23-30 mg/dcl Renal Patient's Blood Urea: 30 mg/dcl Potassium: 7 mg/dcl Sodium: 128 mg/dcl Bicarbonate: 27 mg/dcl Using the information above, state whether the concentration of solutes in the dialysate solution should be greater than, lesser than, or equal to the concentration of solutes in the patient's blood. Urea: [ Select ] Potassium: [ Select ] Sodium: [ Select ] Bicarbonate: [ Select ] > >

calculate the filtered load of a substance that is dissolved in plasma given the plasma concentration of 0.065mg/ml and a GFR of 125 ml/min. consider that 30% of the substance is bound to plasma proteins. Round the answer to one decimal place

Which of the following statements is true regarding Renal Function and the filtration of molecules? (this is not the same question as '48') 49. A. Large molecules like Glucose are not filtered into the renal tubules because Glucose is too big. B. Glucose molecules are ultimately secreted into the renal tubules; thát is why Glucose is found in the urine of a normal healthy person. C. Glucose molecules are filtered into the renal tubules but are rapidly reabsorbed; that is why very little glucose is found in the urine of a healthy person. D. Plasma Electrolytes are simply too big to be filtered into the renal tubules; that is why only a small concentration of extracellular electrolytes are is found in the urine of a healthy person.

One type of diuretic given to people with high blood pressure, renal disease and congestive heart failure are thiazide-type diuretics. These drugs inhibit sodium ion reabsorption by inhibiting the transport in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. A) What does it mean to inhibit the transport of sodium ions in the loop of Henle? B) Explain how this inhibition of sodium ions in the loop of Henle could help increase urine production.

If a patient’s urinary plasma flow is 600ml/min and hematocrit is 50%, what will be his urine blood flow ?
