Measuring the ratio of urine calcium to urine creatinine corrects for differences in urine concentration due to variations in fluid intake and urinary output.

Is angioplasty advisable with high creatinin for a 72 year old dementia patient?

72 can be young or old, depends on the patient, but in the case of a sever dementia patient, one where there is no discernible quality of life a angioplasty would do nothing. angioplasty are meant to extend life as well as increase quality of life, it will not help the dementia.


What is serum creatinin normal range?

The normal range for serum creatinine levels is typically around 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL in adult females. However, normal values can vary slightly between different laboratories.


What is normal CReatinin level?

The typical reference ranges are 0.5 to 1.0 mg/dL (about 45-90 μmol/l) for women and 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dL (60-110 μmol/l) for men. While a baseline serum creatinine of 2.0 mg/dL (150 μmol/l) may indicate normal kidney function in a male body builder, a serum creatinine of 0.7 mg/dL (60 μmol/l) can indicate significant renal disease in a frail old woman. In the United States, creatinine is typically reported in mg/dL, while in Canada and Europe μmol/litre may be used. 1 mg/dL of creatinine is 88.4 μmol/l1.

If you slam water how long does it take to pass a drug test?

Slamming water doesn't always have the desired effect in urine drug screens. Most places that have regular, random drug screening also have concrete policies in place regarding what is considered a dirty. To keep individuals from "cheating" thermometers are often used, to make sure the specimen is fresh, and creatinin levels are tested with the drug levels, to make sure it is not diluted. A normal person will have creatinin clearing their bodies at all times, and within a known range. If that level is excessively low, then the lab knows that the urine has been diluted either after the specimen is in the cup (eg:with water from the faucet), or before (by drinking too much water rapidly). There are other ways that diluting urine specimens can be caught.IF there is no safeguard against diluting the samples, then it is safe to assume the following, keeping in mind that there are a host of other things that effect the time that it takes a drug's metabolites to clear the urine: Opiates (heroin, morphine, oxy), cocaine/crack, and methamphetamine can take between 3 days-and-up to a week to clear under normal circumstances, with frequent water and urination you may be able to cut that in half. Marijuana, Hash, and benzodiazapines (valum, xanax, klonopin) are fat-soluable and can take from a week to a month (usually more) to clear from the urine. Water dilution may be able to reduce that slightly, but don't count on it.One final thing to consider is that if the urine is processed in a lab using a GMS, and not with just a "dip test" then the urine will be spun down in a centrifuge and only the "good parts" will be used, making dilution with water useless.


What would happen to your circulatory system if you did not have a liver?

The liver, aside from producing bile, is where most of the metabolic processesof the organism take place. It synthethizes a great ammount of proteins such as albumin and coagulating factors, it also metabolizes nitrogenated compounds such as urea and creatinin. Most drugs also get modified or neutralized in the liver. So, if the liver wasn't there, firstly, the loss of albumin would produce from localized edema to anasarca; loss of coagulation factors would hinder coagulation and injuries would take a lot to heal, and you'd bleed a lot in the process; accumulation of nitrogenated compounds is called azoemia, and it can produce severe brain damage: haepatic encephalopathy. Drugs would remain in your blood stream a lot longer and can be toxic even in normal doses. Indirect bilirrubin would accumulate as well, inducing jaundice (yellow coloration of skin and mucuses).


Does drinking bleach help pass a drug test?

i really dont think so i think if u put bleach in the actual urine sample it will destroy the creatinin in the urine allowing u to pass the drug test. this really only works with on the spot result drug tests that arent in a lab. Injecting the bleach directly into a vein will solve the problem. You'll never have to worry about passing any test of any kind ever again. Quit trying to beat the test. Beat your addiction (or whatever the hell it is that makes you use that crap).

Will diluting the urine for a portable drug test by adding water to the cup help?

yes if the doctor's really stupid Two ways to dilute the concentration of anything in your urine are direct dilution; by adding another liquid to the sample, and indirect; ie drinking a LOT of water just before the test. Test facilities are aware of most schemes to alter a test result and they take measures to prevent any tampering with the sample. Usually they put a blue dye in the toilet water to stop any addition of that water, and they limit the access to tap water in a sink. Additionally they often check the temperature of the sample to assure that it is close to the normal 98.6 F of a human body, in case you tried to smuggle in your own water. If you drink a lot of liquids to attempt that type of dilution they may notice that the urine is an extremely light color and reject the sample. Taking a B-complex vitamin just before the test will cause the urine to be the proper color and make the sample appear unaltered.


What is the the function of the kidney?

They filter the blood, and remove wastes which are diverted to the urinary bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such as urea and ammonium; the kidneys also are responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also produce hormones including calcitriol, renin, and erythropoietin. the main function unit of the kidney is the nephron The kidneys regulate the body's fluid volume, mineral composition and acidity by excreting and reabsorbing water and inorganic electrolytes.
