i really don't no if i find out I'll tell u thx hope this helps!
Can centigrade and Fahrenheit be negative?
Yes, they can. Centigrade (Celsius) can go as low as -273.15 degrees C. The same temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is -459.67 degrees -- both indicate absolute zero (0K). A notable difference caused by having "degrees" of two different sizes and definitions is that negative temperatures on Celsius indicate "below the freezing point of water" (0 degrees C), while below freezing on the Fahrenheit scale includes positive values from 31 down to 0, the freezing point being 32 degrees F.
What characteristics does an abnormal kidney function test have?
Low clearance values for creatinine and urea indicate diminished ability of the kidneys to filter these waste products from the blood and excrete them in the urine. As clearance levels decrease, blood levels of creatinine and.
What should the creatinine level be for dialysis?
Creatinine clearance is a measure of kidney function. Patients are on dialysis because their kidneys do not function properly thus their creatinine clearance would be very, very low. Some patients may have some residual kidney function but their creatinine clearance would be less than probably 10 ml/min.
What is ment by high resistance and low resistance on a meter?
On a multimeter, a high resistance would indicate a high Ohmic value and a low resistance would indicate a low Ohmic value. Specific values would be relative to device you are measuring.
What can a low creatinine level in the body cause?
Creatinine is a substance that is produced during the body's natural activity (metabolism), and the body gets rid of this substance with the kidneys. A low creatinine level in the body means that one is healthy and their kidneys are very healthy and efficient.
What is the best way to manage low clearance in polycystic kidney disease?
If you're asking about creatinine clearance, it depends on what you refer to as 'low'. A normal clearance is 0.8-1.4 mg/dl in males and 0.6-1.1 mg/dl in women, so if your creatinine is in that range ( i.e 'low'), no intervention is necessary.If you're referring to an elevated creatinine and therefore 'low' function, it depends on your level and how your body is responding to it. Every patient is different, and while some patients need dialysis intervention at say, 5 mg/dl, some can hold off until 9 mg/dl. This also depends on your age, race, and sex. A GFR (glomerular filtration rate) can be calculated based on the above mention cavits and your creatinine value and give you a estimate of your kidney function. At a GFR of 30, you should see a nephrologist. At 20, you can be evaluated for transplant. At 15, you should be on dialysis or actively seeking a transplant.There are many websites with GFR calculators, though you should always consult your nephrologist.MKidney Transplant Nurse and PKD patient
What does high GFR 132.4 and low creatinine 0.5 mean?
I'm sure some MDs might happen upon this question, but rather than run the risk of getting someone less qualified to make an educated guess I suggest you talk with your MD. He/she ordered your tests and will be happy to explain them. Both of those values indicate kidney function, but only your MD can asses your past and current medical history and come to a valid conclusion as to exactly how these values matter to you. To say they're good or bad lab values would be assessing the lab values and not you the patient.
How do you put clearance in a sentence?
