15. A patient's serum urea was 24 mg/dl, the urine urea 600 mg/dl and the total urine volume for a 2 hour test period was 180 ml. What is the patient's urea clearance? [56.7% of normal]

Step 1
To calculate the amount of urea excreted in the urine, we need to multiply the urine urea concentration by the urine volume. Urea excreted in the urine = urine urea concentration * urine volume = 600 mg/dL * 180 mL Show more…

A 24-hour urine has a total volume of 1,200 mL. A $1: 200$ dilution of the urine specimen gives a creatinine result of $0.8 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$. The serum value is $1.2 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}$. What is the result in terms of grams per 24 hours? a. $1.92$ b. $0.08$ c. 80 d. 19
Urine volume = 540 ml Collection time = 12 hours Urine Creatinine = 75 mg/dl Serum Creatinine = 1.2 mg/dl Surface area = 1.83 Normal range = 97 - 131 ml/min/1.73m² Calculate the uncorrected Creatinine Clearance Urine volume = 750 ml Collection time = 24 hours Urine Creatinine = 55 mg/dl Serum Creatinine = 2.9 mg/dl Normal range = 97 - 131 ml/min

In a patient, the plasma creatinine concentration is 1.0 mg/dL and the urine creatinine is 120 mg/dL. In a 20-hour period, 1.2 L of urine was collected. Calculate the patient's glomerular filtration rate. Answers: A - 200 ml/min B - 15 ml/min C - 50 ml/min D - 100 ml/min E - 120 ml/min
