If the process of ion attraction within the nephron is not functioning properly what would you expect to find in the blood and urine? Thanks!
I don't even know where to begin this one! Thanks for the help!
It should be in your book under kidney functions.
Evaluation of Kidney Function
A urinalysis is an analysis of the volume and physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of a urine sample. Chemically, normal urine contains about 95% water and 5% solutes. The solutes normally include urea, creatinine, uric acid, urobilinogen, and various ions. Several abnormal components that can be detected in a urinalysis, including albumin, glucose, red and white blood cells, ketone bodies, bilirubin, excessive urobilinogen, casts, and microbes. Renal clearance refers to the ability of the kidneys to clear (remove) a specific substance from blood.
