Chapter 37.8, Problem 2TYK
Hemodialysis
- is the treatment of choice for people with advanced renal disease.
- directly mixes a person’s blood with the dialysis fluid.
- can lead to a loss of blood cells.
- normalizes concentrations of small solutes in the blood by a diffusion mechanism.
- is only useful for removing nitrogenous wastes from the blood.

Your patient suffers from chronic renal (kidney) failure and undergoes dialysis regularly. One of their associated problems is chronic anemia, which the doctor says to the renal failure. Why would the two be connected? (3) is indirectly
The process of removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood via a machine due to kidney failure is called ________.
if you have a dialysis tube filled with 10 mL of 20% sucrose solution in a beaker with 100 mL of water, what will happen to the bag over time? (The dialysis tubing is permeable to water but not sucrose.)
The bag will shrink.
The bag will swell.
The bag will stay the same for most of the time and will slowly lose weight.
There will be no change in the bag.

- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY A person with kidney disease lives 10 to 15 years longer with a kidney transplant than on continued dialysis. However, in the United States many individuals have difficulty being accepted by a transplant program because they do not have adequate insurance or other resources. The immunosuppressive drugs and other medications required after the surgery are also very expensive, costing about 2500 per month. Should economic status be a deciding factor about whether a person lives or dies? or about quality of life?arrow_forwardA doctor was caring for a male patient with high blood pressure. This patient was prescribed a medication by his physician, to lower blood pressure. The medicine increased sodium ion excretion into the urine. The mechanism of action for this drug interfered with production of:_________. Group of answer choices ANP ADH angiotensin IIarrow_forwardWhich statement about nitrogenous wastes is true? ammonia cannot be concentrated as much as urea and uric acid because it is more toxic some vertebrates are able to avoid producing nitrogenous wastes by using only anaerobic respiration most vertebrates that produce urea excrete the urea as salt crystals that have precipitated out of solution to conserve water many saurapsids excrete their nitrogenous wastes as nitric oxide All of these are correctarrow_forward
- Medical Technologists and technicians separate the plasma or serum from the solid formed elements of the blood, the technologists will use: a. sublimation b. filtration c. decantation d. centrifugation *Choose only one answerarrow_forwardFiltration of substances out of the glomerulus occurs because: Charged molecules cannot cross as easily as uncharged, nonpolar molecules.Wastes cross into the filtrate and nutrients remain in the blood.The difference in size between the afferent and efferent arterioles creates high pressure.There are only channels for certain types of molecules in the glomerular wall.Active transport helps needed nutrients crossarrow_forwardIf a patient has Bright's disease, what would be the outcome of urinalysis of this patient? high glucose levels high protein levels high water levels low glucose levelsarrow_forward
- Which of the following can be either an active or passive process?a. Filtrationb. SecretionC. Reabsorptionarrow_forwardThe breakdown of nucleic acids produces very small molecules of uric acid. Extremely high levels of uric acid built up in the joints indicate that there is something wrong with the individual's kidneys. Using the knowledge you gained from the homeostasis unit, support the connection between built up of uric acid and the possibilities of kidneys malfunctioning.arrow_forwardWhat is difference between dialysis and filtration?

The distribution of fluid between the extracellular and intracellular fluids occurs by the process of _________. 2. Interstitial fluid _________________ pressure refers to the push of the interstitial fluid against the outside of the capillary walls. 3. Capillary ______________ pressure refers to the inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid. 4. Capillary ______________ pressure refers to the outward push of the vascular fluid against the capillary walls. 5. Interstitial fluid ____________ pressure refers to the inward-pulling force of particles in the interstitial fluid. 6. The distribution of fluid between the vascular and interstitial fluids occurs by the process of ____________.arrow_forwardNearly all renal diseases result in hypertension. In fact, some clinicians have a 'rule' that states "unexplained hypertension is always a result of a problem with the kidneys until proven otherwise". Briefly explain why hypertension occurs in renal disease.arrow_forwardWhat is the principle of dialysis? A. Highly soluble contaminants will be removed as the solution passes through the porous dialysis tube B. Low molecular weight contaminants can pass through the porous dialysis tube, while higher molecular weight protein remains in the dialysis tube C. High molecular weight contaminants can fall through the bottom of the porous dialysis tube D. Low solubility contaminants will precipitate out as the salt concentration in the buffer is increasedarrow_forward
