What will be the result of an increase in the real interest rate?
ahmm....the result is in your book!
If All else is constant an increase in a firm's cost of debt will do what?
will result in an increase in the firm's cost of capital.
Price gouging might be the result of?
sudden increase in demand.
Will an increase in supply cause an increase in consumer suplus?
yes because increase in supply will cause decrease in price so the purchasing power of consumer will increase as a result of surplus
An increase in supply will have what effect on equilibrium price and quantity?
Increase in supply in the face of steady demand will result in lower price.
Dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease GFR?
no, it would increase GFR constriction would decrease GFR
In the absence of any regulatory mechanisms what effect do you think an increase in blood pressure would have on glomerular filtration rate?
Generally speaking, it would increase. However, it depends on the reason for the hypertension. For instance, if there is an obstruction or constriction of the renal artery (stenosis, malignancy, etc...) the physiologic affect would to increase the body's BP. This is due to the fact that the obstruction is decreasing hydrostatic pressure to the glomerulus, and transiently decreasing GFR. The body compensates by increasing BP to increase GFR. Patients that present with a renal artery stenosis could in fact be hypertensive with a decreased GFR.
I am a caucasian female with a high gfr black blood result what does that mean?
The eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a number based on your blood test for creatinine. It tells how well your kidneys are workingIf you are "white," the "black" GFR norm does not apply to you. YOu can erase that result from your results page.
How do you increase your GFR?
To increase your glomerular filtration rate, blood flow needs to be increased to the kidneys and the impaired kidneys function restored. The glomerular filtration rate, of GFR, measures how much blood passes through the glomeruli into the kidneys each minute.
What does a GFR of 96 mean?
it is normal gfr level.
GFR blood test is low?
My husband is 72 - gfr is 64
What causes low GFR?
GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
What does a GFR of 113 mean?
Your estimated GFR is 113 because your kidney function is good.
What is the meaning of gfr stage 2?
GFR stage 2 is mild chronic kidney disease.
Do you have to fast for a GFR test?
No, you don't need to fast for the GFR, but there are usually other tests completed with the GFR that require fasting. Check with your health care provider for information specific to your situation.
What is a normal GFR?
A normal GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate, is similar in both men and women. For adults it is between 100-130 ml/min/1.73m2. For children a GFR at 110 ml/min/1.73m2 is normal. GFR's are used to assess kidney damage or kidney disease. Normal GFR (glomerular filtration rate of the kidney) should be above 60.
What does the GFR test for on the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel?
The GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
