Renal Patient Blood Test Results
Urea Uric Acid Glucose Amino Acid Proteins
Normal Person 0.03 0.004 0.10 0.05 8.00
Patient I 0.030 0.004 0.50 0.05 8.00
Patient II 0.030 0.005 1.70 0.05 8.00
Patient III 0.03 0.050 0.10 0.05 8.00
Patient IV 0.03 0.004 0.10 0.06 4.00
a. Which patient has probably just eaten some sugar? How do you know?
b. Which patient is likely experiencing capsular failure? How do you know?
c. Which patient has likely eaten a meal with a high protein content?
a. Patient II is likely the one who has just eaten some sugar. This can be inferred from the high glucose level in their blood test results compared to the glucose levels of the normal person and the other patients.
b. Patient III is likely experiencing capsular failure. This can be inferred from the high uric acid level in their blood test results compared to the uric acid levels of the normal person and the other patients.
c. Patient IV is likely the one who has eaten a meal with a high protein content. This can be inferred from the high protein level in their blood test results compared to the protein levels of the normal person and the other patients.
