Need help with Anatomy and Physiology Case Study (Urinary Physiology)

Need help with Anatomy and Physiology Case Study (Urinary Physiology)?
Urinary Physiology A 26-year-old with diabetes mellitus has developed renal failure. While waiting for a kidney transplant, he is on maintenance hemodialysis eight to ten hours three times each week. He is on a diet restricted in sodium (500 mg/day), potassium (2.6 g/day), and protein as well as his usual diabetic diet. He has a shunt in his right wrist to allow for easy hookup to the dialysis machine. Prior to hemodialysis, his representative blood values are the following: Serum sodium 120 mEq/L Serum potassium 6.4 mEq/L Serum chloride 102 mEq/L Serum creatinine 16 mg/dL Hematocrit 24% The dialysis fluid in the kidney dialysis machine contains the following: Sodium 134 mEq/L Potassium 2.6 mEq/L Calcium 2.5 mEq/L Magnesium 1.5 mEq/L Chloride 104 mEq/L Sodium acetate 36.6 mEq/L Anhydrous dextrose 2 g/L Questions: 1. What is hemodialysis? 2. Following eight to ten hours of hemodialysis, do you think the following blood values would be increased, decreased, or remain the same? Explain your reasoning. Serum sodium Serum potassium Serum chloride Serum creatinine Hematocrit 3. Why does anemia usually develop with maintenance dialysis? 4. Why is hemodialysis required every two to three days for eight to ten hours/day for individuals with complete renal failure? (Flow rate of blood through the dialyzer is 150-300 mL/min.) 5. Differentiate between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis

1 year old dog, possible kidney issues, vet says food allergies

1 year old dog, possible kidney issues, vet says food allergies?
My basset/beagle is a little over a year old. He has been tested for diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease, has neither. They think it might be diabetes insipidus. Does anybody know anything about that? Basically they think he doesn't concentrate his urine. I have been told by my vet he shows signs of food allergies. With no idea what he is actually allergic to, how do I begin to figure that out? I don't know what to eliminate from his diet. He eats taste of the wild, which is grain free, right now. Any advice on the kidney issues, or food issues would be great!

My little toy poodle developed serious skin problems around six months of age. After several tests that turned up nothing, the vet theorized she had allergies. The first thing he had me do was put her on a Science Diet formula for sensitive stomachs. She was not fed anything else for several months except this food, which she didn't like. When we determined she did indeed have allergies, we began to experiment a little with food. She now eats a lamb and rice formula by Iams because she allergic to beef. If your vet doesn't have good advice for your dog about a diet to try, you can always call other veterinarians and see if they have recommendations of a good food. The hardest thing is keeping your dog out of everything else.
2 :
Too high a protein food will only aggravate a kidney issue. I'm going to take a (not so wild) guess and say you are feeding either the High Prairie or Wetlands formula, which are both over 30% protein. If you wish to continue using TOTW switch to the Pacific Stream formula which is 25% protein, otherwise switch to a different brand of food.

I know of no food allergies which cause a dog not to be able to concentrate his urine. Food allergies may cause separate symptoms that you have not covered (in your post) and your dog could have more than one problem. The urine issue is far more serious. Not being able to concentrate his urine is a symptom of diabetes insipidus, but it can also be a sign of some other problems, so further testing is in order. The diagnostic tests recommended will help differentiate DI from these other conditions that can cause excessive thirst and urination: Diabetes mellitus (excessive sugar in the blood) Renal glycosuria (excessive sugar in the urine, but not diabetic) Chronic kidney failure Pyometra (infection of the uterus) Hypercalcemia, a condition of excessively high calcium levels in the blood, which can be caused by hyperparathyroism (due to a tumor on the parathyroid) Liver failure Hyperadrenocorticism, also called Cushing's disease, a condition of overactive adrenal glands (can also be caused by use or steroids such as prednisone.) Pyelonephritis, an infection of the kidneys Hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood) Hypoadrenocorticism, also called Addison's disease, a condition of underactive adrenal glands Hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid activity) Acromegaly (excessive production of growth hormone) Psychogenic polydipsia (excessive drinking due to psychological reasons, such as a change in the pet's environment Dogs can be allergic to any ingredients, but most often it is grain, followed by cooked meat (all kibble or canned food is cooked) or some vegetables (like peas) used in many dog foods. You can look into feeding a raw diet of just a couple of ingredients: meat & bones (or a calcium equivalent like 1/2 egg shell per meal or 1/2 tsp bone meal per meal). You could just change to a food with less ingredients (like California Natural) by Innova. Less ingredients, means less things to try & eliminate from the diet.

Can anyone help me with these questions fast. and can you list your sources

Can anyone help me with these questions fast. and can you list your sources?
1.Patrick was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus on his 8th birthday. His 65 year old uncle was diagnosed with diabetes recently. Patrick is having a hard time understanding why he needs to take injections of insulin, while his uncle controls his blood sugar with diet and oral medication. Why is his Uncle’s treatment different from his? Explain. 2.Amanda hates her new student ID photo. Her hair looks dry, she has put on extra weight that shows, and her neck looks fat. Actually her neck has an odd butterfly shaped swelling across the front of her neck, inferior to her chin. Amanda has been feeling very tired, cold, and a little mentally “dull” lately, but she put that off to being a new A and P student. Should she visit her doctor? What would her doctor suspect may be wrong with her based on her symptoms? Explain.

1. Patrick has type I diabetes. Childhood onset or born with it often referred to as juvenile diabetes. Type I normally will require insulin injections everyday if not more. His uncle has type II diabetes which is adult onset. Normally this does not need insulin injections just a controlled diet and medication. 2. Yes, she needs to visit her doctor. Symptoms point towards hyperthyroidism.

Does Insulin Resistance or too much insulin in the bloodstream make you fat

Does Insulin Resistance or too much insulin in the bloodstream make you fat?
I'm going to be doing some blood tests to see why I'm thirsty and peeing all the time. In the meantime, the doctor told me to read up on Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus and even Psychogenic Polydipsia. I'm 46 and have always been very active. I lift weights and run about 25 - 30 miles per week. I've been experiencing CRAZY thirst since July and I've also noticed that I've been getting fat around the middle. My diet hasn't changed (if anything, sometimes I don't think I eat enough). No one in my family has diabetes, although I have an autoimmune thyroid disease. I suppose that the belly fat can also be attributed to middle-age spread, but I'm not overweight. I don't know yet if I have some type of diabetes, but I'm wondering if the belly fat, in addition to the increased thirst and the frequent peeing points to a diabetes diagnosis? PS It didn't occur to me to mention the belly fat to my new doctor when I saw him a week ago. I guess I'll mention it when I see him for the blood test results. I'd sure appreaciate some comments from anyone who's experienced something similar. Thanks!! I should also add that I've been having leg pain/muscle cramps which I also didn't mention to the doctor because I just assumed they were musculoskeletal related (maybe running related). Sorry to be so long-winded.

For info on Diabetes go to Blood Sugar 101. http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/index.php Insulin resistance causes weight gain.Weight gain, fat storage, difficulty losing weight – for most people, excess weight is from high fat storage; the fat in IR is generally stored in and around abdominal organs in both males and females. It is currently suspected that hormone production in that fat are a precipitating cause of insulin resistance Primary polydipsia or psychogenic polydipsia is a special form of polydipsia. It is usually associated with a patient's increasing fluid intake due to the sensation of having a dry mouth. When the term "psychogenic polydipsia" is used, it implies that the condition is caused by mental disorders. However, the dry mouth is often due to phenothiazine medications used in some mental disorders, rather than the underlying condition.Psychogenic polydipsia is a type of polydypsia described in patients with mental illnesses and/or the developmentally disabled. It is present in a subset of people with schizophrenia. These patients, most often with a long history of illness, exhibit enlarged ventricles and shrunken cortex on MRI, making the physiological mechanism difficult to isolate from the psychogenic. It is a serious disorder and often leads to institutionalization as it can be very difficult to manage outside the inpatient setting. It should be taken very seriously - it can be life threatening as serum sodium is diluted to an extent that seizures and cardiac arrest can occur. Patients have been known to seek fluids from any source possible. Leg muscle cramps, particularly at night, is a classic sign of undiagnosed diabetes. You could also buy a Glucometer at walmart for $20 and test yourself for Diabetes. Diabetes Insipidus is divided into four types, each of which has a different cause and must be treated differently. The most common type of DI is caused by a lack of vasopressin, a hormone that normally acts upon the kidney to reduce urine output by increasing the concentration of the urine. Take care Tin
