Sample
use - Renal Physiology
Uremic
Response to Kidney Removal
Functional
renal mass is reduced by 50%
A typical uremic response ensues
Changes in Key Variables
 Blood
Urea Nitrogen |
Nitrogenous wastes progressively accumulate (BUN increases) |
 Urine
protein excretion |
Decreases with less functioning renal mass |
| Other typical uremic sequelae (not shown) including rises in NPN & Blood Na, K & H2O and fall in pH can also be demonstrated. | |
