How many acute angles does a acute angle have?
1 acute angle = 1 acute angle
How many acute angles does an acute triangle have?

How many acute angles are there in acute triangle?

What are the good food for a patient with acute glomerulonephritis?
bagel
Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus may precede what?
Acute glomerulonephritis
Autoimmune disease in which antibodies damage the capillaries of the kidneys?
Acute glomerulonephritis
Does strep throat affect the kidneys?
Strep throat can lead to acute glomerulonephritis.
What is glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that affect the part of the kidney responsible for filtering blood. It can be acute or chronic and is characterized by inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, which are tiny structures in the kidney that help filter waste from the blood. Symptoms can include blood in the urine, swelling, and high blood pressure. Treating underlying causes and managing symptoms are typical approaches for glomerulonephritis.
What is the disease that encompasses a group of symptoms referred to as the protein-losing kidney?
acute glomerulonephritis.
Why would strep throat cause urine in blood and swelling of the face and hands?
This can lead to acute glomerulonephritis in some patients.
What is the nursing diagnosis of Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis?
The nursing diagnosis for Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis may include: Fluid volume excess related to decreased glomerular filtration rate, Risk for infection related to impaired immune response, and Activity intolerance related to fatigue and decreased renal function.
Can Glomerulonephritis cause chronic renal failure?
Yes, glomerulonephritis can lead to chronic renal failure if left untreated or if it causes extensive damage to the kidneys over time. It is important to manage and treat glomerulonephritis promptly to prevent progression to chronic renal failure.
The presence of white blood cell casts in the urine is indicative of pyelonephritis and red blood cell casts indicative of glomerulonephritis?
White blood cell casts in the urine are typically associated with acute interstitial nephritis, while red blood cell casts are more commonly seen in acute glomerulonephritis. Pyelonephritis is usually characterized by the presence of white blood cells in the urine without casts.
What are the possible causes of acute abdomen?
The possible causes of acute abdomen are the following: 1. acute peptic ulcer and its complications; 2. acute cholecystitis; 3. acute pancreatitis; 4. acute intestinal ischemia; 5. acute appendicitis; 6. acute diverticulitis; 7. acute peritonitis; 8. ectopic tubal pregnancy with tubal rupture; 9. acute pyelonephritis; 10. acute ureteral colic; 11. diabetic ketoacidosis.
How does glomerulonephritis interfere with fluid and electrolyte balance?
In glomerulonephritis, the glomerulus in the nephrons of the kidneys become clogged and are unable to filter the plasma to turn it into urine. Your vessels become overloaded with fluid. This causes an increase in H20 because it is not being filtered out and a decrease in the concentration of Na+.
