Why crystalluria is the side effect of sulphonamides?
Beause they have strong intermolecular bonding which decreases their water solubility as water can not get in between the molecules to solvate them. They are also used at a relativley high dose meaning there is a increased chance for these bonds to occur. The bonds cause complexation and precipitation. Sulfonamides can also be precipitated due to the fact that urine is acidic and the pka of some sulfonamides is greater than the pH of urine.
Why take a full glass of water with cotrimoxazole?
Taking a full glass of water with cotrimoxazole helps to ensure proper absorption of the medication and reduces the risk of potential side effects, such as kidney issues. Adequate hydration can also help flush out the kidneys and minimize the risk of crystalluria, which is the formation of crystals in the urine. Additionally, it aids in maintaining overall hydration during the course of treatment.
Which auxiliary labels would you put on a sulfa prescription if there is only room for two?
For a sulfa prescription, I would recommend including the auxiliary labels "Take with plenty of fluids" to encourage hydration and reduce the risk of crystalluria, and "May cause sun sensitivity" to alert the patient about the potential for increased photosensitivity and the need for sun protection. These labels address important safety considerations associated with sulfa medications.
What should a nurse assess prior to administering bactrim?
Before administering Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim), a nurse should assess the patient's allergy history, particularly for sulfa drugs, as this can lead to serious allergic reactions. It is also essential to evaluate renal function, as Bactrim can affect kidney function and may need dose adjustments in patients with renal impairment. Additionally, the nurse should check for any current medications to avoid potential drug interactions, particularly with anticoagulants or other medications affecting renal function. Lastly, assessing the patient's hydration status is important, as adequate fluid intake can help prevent crystalluria.

What are some abnormal urinalysis results and describe them?
These are all screening test, but not confirmation test. Red, cloudy urine means hematuria (blood in the urine) Red, clear urine means hemaglobinuria (hemaglobin in the urine. Dark reddish brown cola-colored urine means Myoglobinuria (myoglobin in the urine) Beer-brown-colored urine means indicative of bilirubin Dark red like port wine-colored urine means porphyrins (iron pigment). Very turbid urine means pyuria (Abnormal numbers of white blood cells in the urine) Orange Urine means the patient consume a lot of beta-carotene. Black to Dark brown urine means Alkaptonuria (melanin or homogentisic acid in the urine) Huge amount of urine means polyuria and may have type I/II diabetes High bilirubin levels in urine means hepatitis/jaundice High urobilinogen level in urine means excessive destruction of Red blood cells or patient have infectious mononucleosis. Low / No Urobilinogen and High Bilirubin in urine with high levels of bilirubin in the blood means Obstruction of Bile ducts/Obstructive jaundice Urine positive for Ketones means diabetic ketoacidosis, the patient is diabetic or having a crash diet. High glucose level in urine means lack of control of the diabetes High glucose level and normal blood sugar level means lowered renal threshold. Marked High Protein level in the urine means Nephrotic syndrome, Renal vein thrombosis, Amyloid disease, Lupus erythematosus. (4 gms/day) High protein level and heated at 100 C becomes normal/low protein level means multiple myeloma/macroglobulinemia. There are more informations if you bought the urinalysis book.
What are the abnormal constituents of urine?
Abnormal urine can have:CarbohydratesProteinsketone bodiesBloodBile saltsBile pigmentsFatsCARBOHYDRATESCarbohydrates present in it such as lactose and fructose.Physiologically in pregnany and lactation, lactose is excreted in pregnant women.Pathologically: if lactose is excreted in the urine, then this is due to lactose intolerance.Glucose could be excreted in the urine in Diabetes mellitus, glucosuria, renal glycosuria etcFructose in essential fructosuriaGalactose in galactosemiaPROTEINS:Ecretion of proteins in urine is due to:1- Increase in the permeability of the glomerular capillaries as in nephrotic syndrome etc2- Damage to the capillaries membranes as in glomerulonephritisFollowing proteins can be excreted in abnormal urine:AlbuminGlobulinHemoglobin (protein of RBC)MyoglobinBence Jones ProteinsAlbumin and globulin are found in the urine in the condition called proteinuria, also in nephrotic syndrome and glomerular nephritis.hemoglobin is excreted in urinay tract infections.Myoglobin is excreted due to muscular atrophy etc.Bence Jones proteins are not usually synthesised in the body. They are produced in the condition called multiple myeloma, by plasma cells.KETONE BODIESthey are basically three chemicals viz.acetoneacetoacetic acidbeta hydroxy butaric acidAll the three are the intermediates in the fats metabolism.Increased catabolism of fats is due tostarvationincreased fat intake in dietdecreased carbohydrates in the dietdiabetes ketoacidosisRBC/ HEMOGLOBINiNhemolytic anemiaUrinary tract infectionsRenal traumaBILE SALTS:in JaundiceBILE PIGMENTS:in obstructive jaundice
