1. Explain how the composition of the blood is regulated by a kidney dialysis machine? 2. Explain why the presence of protein in the urine may indicate kidney damage? 3. Name the process by which urea passes from the blood into the dialysis fluid.
Adi S.
Patients with kidney illnesses use dialysis machines to remove harmful urea from their blood. The blood is separated from a solution, called the dialysate, that is designed to remove wastes by diffusion through a semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane is likely permeable to _____ and impermeable to _____. a. red blood cells, urea b. dialysate, blood plasma c. blood plasma, urea d. urea, red blood cells
A 53-year-old woman with known kidney disease presents to a hospital because her pain has become increasingly more severe. A physician performing kidney surgery must remember that: The left renal vein runs anterior to both the aorta and the left renal artery The left kidney lies a bit lower than the right one The perirenal fat lies external to the renal fascia (of Gerota) The renal fascia does not surround the suprarenal gland. The right renal artery is shorter than the left renal artery.
