Renal plasma clearances of glucose, urea, and creatinine are different due to variations in their reabsorption and secretion mechanisms in the kidney. Glucose is almost completely reabsorbed, while urea has variable reabsorption rates, and creatinine is primarily excreted without reabsorption. This difference in handling by the kidney results in different clearance values for each substance.
What else can I help you with?
Is the concentration of glucose higher in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma?
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
What type of tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels?
Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.
Is glucose carried around the body and dissolved by the plasma?
Yes, glucose is transported throughout the body dissolved in the plasma. When carbohydrates are digested, they are broken down into glucose, which then enters the bloodstream. Once in the plasma, glucose is readily available for uptake by cells for energy. This process is essential for maintaining normal metabolism and blood sugar levels.
How is the reduction of plasma alanine concentration caused by gluconeogenesis?
Alanine is the major gluconeogenic amino acid. Plasma alanine is used to make glucose in the liver (Glucose-Alanine Cycle), and thus when this occurs plasma alanine concentration is decreased.
What are the substances carried by the plasma around the body?
Plasma carries various substances such as water, electrolytes, hormones, nutrients (glucose, amino acids, lipids), waste products (urea, creatinine), and proteins (albumin, globulins, clotting factors) throughout the body. It also transports gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the relation between whole blood glucose level and plasma glucose level?
Plasma makes up 55% of the volume of the blood. Glucose content in blood cells is different (smaller) than the glucose content in plasma. So the average glucose content in the whole blood is different from both (lies in between). To get an approximate plasma glucose value, multiply the whole blood value by 1.15.

What substances are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus?
Water, electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride), glucose, and waste products (such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid) are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus.
What is plasma 17 things that can be found circulating in plasma?
Plasma is the liquid component of blood in which cells are suspended. Some substances found circulating in plasma include water, electrolytes, hormones, proteins (such as albumin and globulins), nutrients (like glucose and amino acids), waste products (such as urea and creatinine), gases (like oxygen and carbon dioxide), and clotting factors.
What is the liquid that passes through the glomerulus?
The liquid that passes through the glomerulus is called filtrate. It is formed from blood plasma and contains water, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, and waste products like urea and creatinine.
Is the concentration of glucose higher in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma?
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
What is the main type of carbohydrate in blood plasma?
glucose
Is glycogen in plasma?
No. But plasma does contain glucose, urea, albumin and fibrinogen.
What type of sugar is in plasma?
glucose
Which part of the blood glucose?
The Plasma
What type of tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels?
Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.
Whenever the plasma glucose concentration exceeds the renal plasma threshold?
it shows in urine.
Compare the composition of blood plasma and urine?
Blood plasma contains water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, gases, and waste products. Urine is a byproduct of blood filtration in the kidneys and consists of water, urea, salts, creatinine, and other waste products. The composition of urine is more concentrated compared to blood plasma.
