Q

What is insensible water loss?

A

Water loss that we are not consciously aware of, even though it occurs continually in all living humans.

700mL/day through respiratory evaporation
300-400mL/day through the skin
300-400mL/day through respiratory tract
100mL/day through sweat
100mL/day through feces

Q

Clinically, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) comes down to 2 factors…

A

Q

Clinically it’s impractical to measure GFR by Kf or NFP! What is the basic theory of renal clearance?

A

Q

What is clearance?

A

Q

How do you calculate clearance?

A

Q

What is the benefit of using inulin to calculate clearance?

A

Renal Clearance: Inulin (Gold Standard of GFR)

Q

What is the benefit of using creatinine to estimate GFR?

A

Renal Clearance: Creatinine (~GFR Estimate)

Q

How is plasma creatinine related to GFR?

A

Renal Clearance: Plasma Cr inversely related to GFR!
