Urine

Purpose The purpose of this virtual lab is to observe the acid-base balance in the urinary system by how PCO2 and blood pH affect the H+ and HCO3- in the urine. The renal compensation is a mechanism that shows the kidneys manage to change pH in correct way if the respiratory system is not healthy. The kidneys are two organs that help remove wastes and extra fluids out of the body. The acid-base balance is when the blood need to keep the balance of acidic and basic so the functions of the body can

There are two hormones in the body that contribute to the control of urine volume of composition: aldosterone and vasopressin. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone, acts on principal cells to promote water reuptake back into the body. This results in concentrated urine because most of the water is reabsorbed back into the blood. Fluid deprived subjects stimulated more vasopressin in order to retain as much water as possible in order to prevent dehydration as much as possible. As the blood

2. Description of the Diagnosis: Hyponatremia is the consequence of a pathological change in intake and output and reflects an exacerbation of the free water substance to solute degree and is connected to tonicity. Hyponatremia is oftentimes accompanied by other medical conditions such as dehydration or hypovolemia. Contemplations of hidden pathologies help the health awareness group in distinguishing the complete etiological picture, alongside the treatment arrangement (Treas & Wilkinson, p

A Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine ( ). There are many types of catheters such as a straight, indwelling, and condom catheters. A straight catheter is one that does not stay inside the person. It is removed immediately after urine is drained. An indwelling catheter is one that stays inside of the bladder for a period of time. And last, a condom catheter is one that has an attachment that fits onto the penis. This catheter is changed daily or as needed

The most of stones pass spontaneously, but some conditions, particularly ongoing pain, renal impairment and infection, mandate intervention (Macneil & Bariol, 2011). The formation of urinary stone is the calcium and uric get stuck together in the urine and becomes hard crystals. It can be small as the grain of sand or large as a golf ball (Health line, N.D). Patient whom has urinary stone will feel ongoing pain that as known as renal colic, when those stones become big enough. Renal colic is a pain

characteristics of urine and why each is important 1. Ketones occurs in the urine when the body starts to uses fat for energy. If the urine is positive, it is import0ant to find the reason that causes our body to produce ketones. Most common causes: diabetes mellitus if not under control, weight loss, overuse of aspirins, and if the body doesn’t get enough fluid (dehydration) 2. Color of the urine can occur in different colors. Normal color of the urine depends on how much water the urine contains; if

hypovolemic, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, hyperuricosuria, obese, have an abnormal urine pH, and have a genetic susceptibility. In a healthy human, crystals are excreted without pain, but with Nephrolithiasis there is a supersaturation of crystals causing them to aggregate, consequently forming a stone. Nephrolithiasis is a major concern for healthcare professionals, because the obstruction can cause ureter damage and urine can back up into the kidney. We will monitor the patient closely for the passing

sample of urine for a lab to perform an analysis. Preferably, they sample the first void of the day because bacteria levels will be the highest. When analyzed, medical professionals look for red or white blood cells. They also look for traces of bacteria, although there are many different types of bacteria that can cause the infection. After urine is analyzed, the next step is a urine culture test. Urine culture is used to find and identify germs that may be causing the infection. Urine in the bladder

The main organs in the urinary system for mammals are the kidneys, which filter blood and produce urine. The other organs such as the ureters, urinary bladder and the urethra are simply accessory structures that help in the transport and storage of urine. The kidneys of mammals are round, bean-shaped organs. These kidneys are located at the posterior end of the abdomen and outside of the peritoneum, which is the membrane that encloses the organs of the abdominal cavity. The indentation found on

Rayannon Willett Lab Urinalysis 4/6/15 A urinalysis is a test which evaluates a sample of urine. This examination is used to detect and estimate various abnormal conditions, such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and even diabetes. A urinalysis includes investigating the appearance, concentration, and content of the urine. By evaluating these aspects of urine, one can assess the overall health, diagnose a medical condition, or monitor a medical condition of an individual (WCCC.). Unknown
