Urine

less or no fluid output in every 20 minutes unlike the subject that had about 5ml/kg-1 of water intake. The results also show that caffeine and exercise affect the amount of urine produced in different ways: the caffeine seems to increase the total amount of urine that is produced while exercise decreases the total amount of urine produced. This is due to the ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) that is present in the blood. With caffeine, ADH is inhibited, hence the increase of fluid output. This means…

Urinalysis is mostly a labor process used to observe urine at a microscopic level (Ben-Ezra, 1998). In the urinalysis, one of the experiments conducted was observing the physical characteristics of the urine sample. The physical characteristics included the color, transparency, odor, and pH level. Observing and determining the color, transparency, odor, and pH of urine can tell the person’s diet and possibly if there might be a bodily issue going on (Gutierrez, 2014). For the first physical…

are hard crystal like objects that are formed from substances in the urine. Urine contains substances that can both form and prevent formation of stones. Usually these substances balance each other out, but when there are more minerals than the liquid can dilute, crystals begin to form. The crystals bond together with other minerals to form a solid mass that will continue to get larger unless passed out of the body with the urine. Cause, treatment and the prevention of reoccurrence depends on…

and concentration of salts in the body. Analyzing urine samples can give a lot of information about the health of the body and kidneys by evaluating characteristics such as pH, color, volume, and specific gravity. These measurements can indicate problems with the body and are very easy to measure. In this experiment, we take 6 collections of urine, 1 every 20 minutes, and conduct these tests to analyze the effects that certain liquids have on urine. We split up the class into groups that drank…

What Causes Kidney Failure Kidneys are the organs that help filter waste products from the blood. They are also involved in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cells production in the body. Sysmtoms of kidney failure are due to build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness shortness of breath, lethargy,and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death, initially kidney failure may…

INTRODUCTON Urinalysis is a test that evaluates a sample of urine. The urinalysis is used as a screening/or diagnostic tool because it can help detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with different metabolic and kidney disorders. It is ordered widely and routinely to detect any abnormalities that require follow up. Often, substances such us protein or glucose will begin to appear in the urine before people are aware that they may have a problem. It is used to detect…

Use of geothermal energy and boosted MED to have a stand-alone desalination, design of a prototype for water mass production based on hydrologic cycle principles (idea behind cloud formation, move of water as body without surface), use of cloud seeding techniques to increase condensation rate in thermal desalination (i.e. use of nuclei to increase water vapour condensation in industrial scale), and conceptual design of new desalination technology based on anatomy of loop of Henle in marine…

produce urine as a way to help our system to get rid of waste and extra water that we do not need. It travels through a urinary tract that includes the kidneys, ureters, the bladder and the urethra. The kidneys are two bean shaped organs that filter the waste from the blood and produce urine. The ureters are two thin tubes the move the urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder is an organ sac that holds the urine until it is time to leave the body through…

that precipitate in the urinary tract. These stones are typically made up of elements such as calcium (most common), uric acid, magnesium ammonium phosphate, or cysteine. The urinary tract begins with the kidneys, which empty urine into the ureters, which then drain urine into the bladder and finally the urethra. Stones can be located anywhere along the urinary system from the kidneys to the bladder. Patients with kidney stones typically develop acute onset of pain that starts in the flank…

Pathophysiology Room 24, a 79 year-old widowed African American woman, presented September 23, 2016, to Lynchburg General Hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal pain, urinary frequency, burning sensation, and confusion. Upon arrival at the hospital, Room 24 was accompanied by a family member due to her inability to be awarelack of awareness of to her surroundings, as well as the increase in episodes of “wandering and getting lost” as stated by Room 24’s caregiver. She entered the hospital…
