What types of hematuria are there?
1.Macroscopic vs microscopic hematuria 2.Urologic vs nephrologic hematuria (urologic: from calyces to external meatus, nephrologic: glomerular origin) 3.Hematologic hematuria (ie associated with blood disorders like hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and sickle cell trait) 4.Exercise induced
What does the glomerular capsule surround?
The glomerular capsule surrounds the glomerulus.
If a person is detected to have hematuria can she fit to work?
Micro hematuria or macro hematuria are important . You have to investigate the cause of it. Could be a simple urinary tract infection, and obstruction or could be a tumor.
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
What is rbc in urinalysis?
hematuria
Where does most of the fluid go after glomerular filtrtion?
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
What is the difference between hematuria and uremia?
Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, and uremia is a toxic condition of excess urea (nitrogenous waste) in the bloodstream. Hematuria is a symptomatic condition of the urine, and uremia is an abnormal condition of the blood
What are the main causes of hematuria?
Hematuria is the the presence of red blood cells in the urine. The most common causes of hematuria are urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney stones, tumors, or other diseases of the kidney or prostate.
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
No, glomerular hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure within the glomerular capillaries of the kidney, while hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule refers to the pressure within Bowman's capsule surrounding the glomerulus. The difference in these pressures influences the filtration of blood in the renal corpuscle.
What does code 599.72 mean?
ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 599.72 is for Microscopic hematuria. (hematuria = blood in the urine)
What is glomerular hydrostic pressure?
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood within the glomerular capillaries of the kidney. It is a driving force for the filtration of blood to form urine. An appropriate balance of glomerular hydrostatic pressure is important for proper kidney function.
