21
Q

what hormone is lacking in diabetes insipidus

A

antidiuretic hormone (adh)

22
Q

in diabetes insipidus, the excretion of adh is (lacking/in excess).

A

lacking

23
Q

24
Q

ph urine determines the kidneys’ ability to _____ the urine

A

acidify

25
Q

reference range: urine pH

A

5.5-6.5

26
Q

stored urine tend to have (inc./dec.) pH

A

increased

due to loss of CO2 and bacterial metabolism

27
Q

prevents loss of CO2, alkalization is delayed

A

renal glycosuria

31

can cause false negative glucose results

A

ascorbic acid

ketones

32
Q

can cause false positive glucose results

A

peroxide

chlorine

33
Q

how does hydrogen peroxide appear in urine

A

improper use of vials

34
Q

why is there loss of glucose in pregnancy

A

growth of abdomen can press the afferent, efferent arteriole and increase hydrostatic pressure

35
