subjects that ingested the 6 gm. Of NaCl would increase over time in response to the increased osmolarity of the blood from all of the salt. Urine output would decrease and eventually the body would stabilize. Purpose: In this experiment‚ renal regulation of osmolarity will be demonstrated through the use of urinalysis. Materials and Methods: In this experiment‚ we assigned two groups. The first group was given 800ml of distilled to drink and the second was given 6mg of NaCl dissolved

Renal tumors (neoplasms) are abnormal tissue formation on or around the kidney (Nogueras‚ Thomas‚ & Porter‚ 2015). Renal tumors may alter renal function. The most common malignant renal tumors are renal cell carcinomas‚ which originates in the renal cortex. Transitional cell carcinomas are the second most common form of renal tumors. Men and older age are at both common risk factors for renal tumors. Other risk factors include: obesity‚ exposure to asbestos‚ cadmium‚ and gasoline‚ the use of phenacetin

Acute renal failure (ARF)‚ also know as Acute Kidney Injury/Impairment (AKI) is described as a condition where there is a rapid decline in kidney function which results in an increase in accumulation of waste materials in the body and decreased urine output‚ usually over hours to weeks‚ occurring in a person with or without a previous pre-existing renal disease (Van Biesen‚ W.‚ Vanholder‚ R.‚ & Lameire‚ N.‚ 2006). Acute loss of renal function can be due to poor perfusion to the kidneys‚ called prerenal
