Proteinuria in adults is defined as excessive protein excretion in the urine, generally greater than --------------
Proteinuria is defined as excessive protein excretion in the urine, generally greater than 150 mg/24 hours in adults
Which of the following cast is not indicative of kidney disease ?
Hyaline casts - Not indicative of kidney disease
Hyaline casts seen in cases -
- Concentrated urine,
- febrile disease,
- diuretic therapy,
- after strenuous exercise
Red cell casts - Glomerulonephritis
White cell casts - Indicative of infection or inflammation, Pyelonephritis, interstitial nephritis,
Renal tubular cell casts -Acute tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis
Granular (muddy brown) casts- Nonspecific; can indicate acute tubular necrosis
Bence Jones proteins are missed with dipstick analysis because -
Evaluation of proteinuria by urine dipstick does not actually measure protein but instead detects the negative electrochemical charge that characterizes albumin.
Bence Jones proteins - positively charged so Bence Jones proteins are missed with dipstick analysis.
Urine dipstick for proteins DIRECTLY detects -
Evaluation of proteinuria by urine dipstick does not actually measure protein but instead detects the negative electrochemical charge that characterizes albumin.
Urine protein to creatinine ratio (P/C ratio) is a fast and simple method of detecting -
Urine protein to creatinine ratio (P/C ratio) is an alternative, fast and simple method of detecting and estimating the quantitative assessment of proteinuria.
Bence Jones proteins can be detected by the addition of --------------- to the urine specimen
Bence Jones proteins can be detected by the addition of sulfosalicylic acid to the urine specimen
Creatinine clearance is approximately -------- mL/min in healthy young men
Creatinine clearance is approximately 100 mL/min in healthy young women and 120 mL/min in healthy young men
Cockcroft-Gault formula is used to measure -
Cockcroft-Gault formula: Estimated creatinine clearance rate (eCCR)
Creatinine clearance can be estimated using serum creatinine levels.
Cockcroft-Gault formula uses all of the following EXCEPT -
The resulting CrCl is multiplied by 0.85 if the patient is female to correct for the lower CrCl in females.
Which is the main predictor for Creatinine clearance in Cockcroft-Gault formula?
The Cockcroft-Gault formula is dependent on age as its main predictor for Creatinine clearance.
