Renal function

biochemical results are consistent with the histopathological examination. Treatment with lemon balm powder at two different dose levels improved histopathology changes. The rat kidney tissues of group (1) showing normal histological structure of renal parenchyma as Pic. (1) showing. The rat Kidney tissues of group (2) , showing vacuolization of endothelial lining glomeruler tufts as appeared in Pic. (2). Pic. (3) showing the rat kidney tissues of group (3), showing no histological changes. Pic.…

oxygen intake, how carbon dioxide levels are being regulated, as well as how efficient the hemoglobin in our body binds and release oxygen molecules to the appropriate tissues that require it. Normally the oxygen that our tissues need in order to function properly on a daily basis is carried by a red protein known as hemoglobin. It is able to bind to oxygen thanks to the heme group that it has, which has a iron molecule in the center with a +2 charge. Hemoglobin is a great oxygen transporter in…

Seventy-two years old woman initial GC. She used to work as a transporter. She is African American woman who has four kids and twenty-six grandkids. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and she still remembers when they used to play with their grandkids but now she doesn’t walk anymore because she had heart failure, and muscle weakness. She uses a wheelchair to get around and her grandkids come to visit her frequently at the nursing home. GC told me that her older daughter is an English…

insulin resistance to take place. It is important to re-state that the main initial pathologic process involved in DMII is the lack of insulin sensitive receptors, and not the lack of insulin itself. Therefore, as insulin is not able to accomplish its functions, glycemic levels cannot be restored, and further glucose production will take place in the liver. As insulin resistance develops, the pancreatic beta cells will maximize the efforts to suppress glucose production, which can be translated…

Case Study: Clinical Biochemistry investigation into Addison Disease Introduction A fifteen year old male presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with his mother in St. Vincent’s University Hospital (SVUH) on the 8th September 2017 with suspected Addison disease (AD). On initial examination he was found to have severe abdominal pain and prolonged vomiting. Other symptoms could include fatigue, myalgia, weight loss and salt craving (Brooke & Monson, 2017). Laboratory Investigation and Results…

atorvastatin is approximately 20 hours, which is often increased in individuals with hepatic disease. The biliary tract represents the major route of elimination, and less than 2% of the drug is excreted as unchanged in urine; therefore changes in renal function have no significant effect on the pharmacokinetcis of…

overlapping categories: the presence of comorbidity and physiological changes. Comorbidities such as COPD, renal impairment, malnutrition, cancer, and diabetes do not only increase the risk of active TB, it can also mask the sign and symptoms of TB. This will delay treatment and can lead increase the risk of mortality. The physiological changes such as alter the immune system, renal function, pharmacokinetics, sensations of symptoms, and ability to accurately present symptoms need especially…

blocking the reabsorption of salt there is a higher osmolality which decreases the kidney's ability to reabsorb water. Since cardiac output is poor right now with this patient the kidney function is also not up to pair. Lasix would be a good choice for this situation because for a short period of time it can improve renal blood flow. Digitalis is given to this patient to help improve cardiac contractility. Digitalis can help with calcium uptake, with this increase in calcium the cardiac muscle…

Fish are cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates. They are highly susceptible to seasonal and diurnal variations in water temperature in their habitats. Any abnormal change in temperature may influence fish survival, change physiological, biochemical function and enzymatic activities. In order to address this, we exposed Bighead carp Aristichthys nobilis to an increase in temperature from 28°C to 38°C and measured the effects on histopathological changes in gill, liver and kidney tissues, physiological…
