Study Set Content:
Commonly seen when the body enters a state of dehydration
Oliguria
Urine is normally excreted 2-3 times during day
Nocturia
Caused from water loss during vomiting, diarrhea, severe burns or perspiration
Oliguria
This occurs in shock because there is decrease in blood pressure which affects the hydrostatic pressure
Anuria
May result from serious damage to kidneys or from a decrease in the flow of blood to the kidneys
Anuria
How much is the increase in daily urine volume in adults?
More than 2.5L per day
How much is the increase in daily urine volume in children?
More than 2.5-3 mL/kg per day
can be induced by diuretics, caffeine, and alcohol
Polyuria
Defect in pancreatic production of insulin or the function of insulin; Causes urine to be diluted
Diabetes Mellitus
absolute deficiency due to damaged beta cells
Type 1
defect in insulin receptors ; Leads to increase glucose concentration in
plasma, also in urine
Type 2
Refers to the measure of dissolved solutes
Specific Gravity
True or False:
Urine with DM is concentrated but with high specific gravity because of dissolved glucose in urine
False; Urine with DM is dilute but with high specific gravity
Decrease in ADH production
Diabetes Insipidus
targets collecting ducts which promotes water retention
ADH
caused by a disorder in hypothalamus
Central DI
resistance of kidneys to the hormones, and cells of collecting ducts are damaged
Nephrogenic DI
True or False;
Urine in DI is Dilute and has low specific gravity
True
excessive thirst which results to too much water
Polydipsia
