GFR and Proteinuria

Question 1

microalbuminiuria readings

Answer 1

30-300mg albumin /24 hours

20-200microgram/min

30-300mg albumin/gram creatinine

Question 1

normal urine protein levels

Answer 1

150mg per 24 hours

most are tubular proteins (albumin in urine is abnormal)

Question 3

cockcroft-gault cr clearance equation

Answer 3

Crcl = _{<u>(140-age)weightKg</u>}

     <sup> 72[Serum Cr)</sup>

Question 4

normal creatine values
men

women

children

Answer 4

men 0.9mgdL to 1.3 mg/dl

women 0.8 to 1 mg/dl

children 0.5 ro 1 mg/dl

Question 5

pathophysiology proteinuria

Answer 5

glomerular disease > glomerular protein leak overwhelms reabsorption > loss of albumin > low plasma oncotic pressure > Edma
