Background information Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited kidney condition that causes cysts to grow on the kidneys. Commonly referred to as PKD‚ Polycystic kidney disease is present in two different forms‚ autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. Autosomal dominant is much more common‚ and both variations cause about 5% of kidney failure in the world. There are two types of autosomal dominant PKD depending on the gene mutated. The two are usually defined by the age symptoms are present

creatine‚ the end product of phosphocreatine metabolism; measurements of its rate of urinary excretion are used as diagnostic indicators of kidney function and muscle mass.The experiment utilized serum creatinine.Creatinine is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys (glomerular filtration). There is little tubular reabsorption of creatinine. If the filtering of the kidney is deficient‚ creatinine blood levels rise. Therefore‚ creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance

Kharishma Patel BIO 3422-E Urine Analysis Lab Objective The objective of this experiment shall be to examine the effects of different types of fluids on the renal system including rate of urine production‚ pH‚ and specific gravity. Hypothesis The group drinking water will have the highest rate of urine production. The group that drinks water only when thirsty will have the lowest rate of urine production. The specific gravity of urine for all treatment groups will be around 1.000. The pH for

The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs.

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disease that causes the kidneys to malfunction. The decrease in kidney function is rooted to cystic growths on the kidneys. The definition of cyst is an abnormal sac-like structure that is filled with fluid. Overtime this genetic disease can cause many cysts to appear at one time and can eventually enlarge the kidneys‚ along with deforming them. This deformation can grow into chronic kidney disease and lead to complete kidney failure. A genetic defect‚ or

Wednesday 10/17/2012 In lab we received a fetal pig for dissection to be done over five lab sessions. We started off with an over view of the pigs anatomy noticing the snout‚ external nares‚ eye structure‚ pinnae‚ tongue‚ teeth‚ tail‚ three clove hands‚ and feet. We also identitified the sex of our fetal pig‚ and upon observation at the base of the umbilical cord we determined the sex was a male. The first part of our dissection involved reviewing the masseter muscle structure. We use a scalpel
