Urine

urine which is waste product of the kidney, can be used to detect different diseases or abnormality by doing urine analysis. urine is composed of water, certain electrolytes, and various waste products that are filtered out of the blood system. due to the kidneys filtration system big molecules, blood, and different ions are not supposed to leave the body, so their presence during analysis can indicate abnormality. The urinary system is responsible for maintain the fluid hemostat of the body, it is consisting of many organs: some are kidney, ureter urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidney is the organ that is responsible of making urine by filtration. Kidneys are pair of organs located on either side of the spine at the bottom of the ribcage.…

Maple syrup urine disease is a rare disorder in which the body fails to properly process certain amino acids, such as leucine, isoleucine and valine. which are present in foods such as milk, eggs, meat. Therefore, results in a buildup of these in the blood. It is called maple syrup due to its distinctive sweet odor of affected infant’s urine. MSUD can damage the brain when in physical stress, such as fever, infection, starving. MSUD affects approximately 1 in 180,000 infants worldwide. A higher…

group of rare disorders characterized by metabolic pathway abnormalities. One such disorder is Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) otherwise known as Branched-chain Ketoaciduria, a dangerous condition in which over saturation of amino acids in the blood can lead to toxicity progressing to encephalopathy, neurodegeneration, coma or respiratory failure (Haldeman-Englert, 2015). MSUD results from a malfunction of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) (Kniffin, 2013). This…

patient took a urine test and tests were run to see what colour the urine was, this determines how concentrated the urine is. If the urine is darker and has a smell then the urine is more concentrated. If the urine is a light colour and no smell that means it is not as concentrated. Additionally, the urine was tested to determine the pH, glucose, protein, ketone, yeast, blood, nitrite, bilirubin and urobilinogen. Glucose levels are tested in order to test for the plasma levels; if the glucose…

Our experiment was centered on taking four testing groups and setting a baseline level of dehydration across all four groups. From there each group would be assigned water, coke, Gatorade or remain dehydrated. The test subjects would then consume their assigned drinks based on their body weight. Urine would then be collected at thirty-minute time intervals to measure urine changes. The goal of our experiment was to determine the influence of fluids being introduced into the body of various…

of the blood. The urinary system works in with the respiratory, integumentary, and digestive organs to eliminate waste. Reflexology supports and enhances the urinary system by removing toxins that help reestablish balance. In this paper, I will go over three important facts about the urinary system. . The urinary system is home of: two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, the sphincter muscle, the nerves in the bladder and the urethra. The kidneys remove urea from the blood through,…

epithelial boundary. Nephrotic syndrome is not a disease of the glomerulus, but an issue with the how large proteins are filtered. Due to the loss of the protein plasma, the patient begins to retain fluid and experience edema. The high levels of cholesterol in the blood and urine are thought to occur because the liver produces to compensate for the high albumin production. Nephritic syndrome occurs when the glomerulus becomes inflamed and the capillary wall is damaged, impairing the…

wake in the middle of the night and stumble through the house to the bathroom. The urinary system starts with the kidneys which filter blood and produces urine. Urine then carried by what is called ureters which are two tubes that carry the urine to the bladder. The urine can be stored in the bladder until it becomes full in which case it then sends signals to the brain telling you it’s time to find a bathroom. Urination is the process of releasing urine from the bladder through the urethra and…

The primary function of the urinary system is to “produce, store, and excrete urine from the body.” (Zimmermann) The kidneys are the organs in the body that filter waste and water from blood. This waste is called urine, which flows from the kidneys to the ureters, and is stored briefly in the bladder. As the bladder expands and becomes full, urine is released through the urethra. 2. A urinary tract infection, also known as a UTI, occurs when “bacteria gets into the urinary tract and…
