If you have concerns about your creatinine level, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare provider.

The answers to this section in chapter 13 on mutations is not available online. The answers must be gathered by rereading the chapter in the book.

s.g. is the density of a substance as compared to that of the density of water which is 1.000.s.g. of a solution depends on the amount of solute present and also on the temp. of the solution.the s.g. increases with increasing conc. of the solute.

the s.g. of normal urine is 1.003 to 1.030.if the kidney is functioning properly, the concentrated first morning sample of urine should have a s.g.greater than a.020.

usually, increased discharge of urine accompanied by decrease s.g.is typical of diabetes insipidus. on the other hand, high volume of urine discharged with increased s.g. suggests glucosuriya, associated with diabetes mellitus, or proteinuria.

if the conc. power of the kidney is disturbed, there is a combination of low s.g. and low volume of urine discharged. this occurs in case of glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis.

two methods are employed in measuring the s.g., urinometer method and refractometer method.

The Modified Barium Swallow test seeks to show the individual's swallowing pattern and any swallowing problems the patient is experiencing.

- No patient preparation is necessary before the test. You can eat and drink normally.

- The total study takes about 10 minutes, with 5 minutes of fluoroscope imaging.

- Patient is seated or standing.

- The patient consumes a small variety of items containing barium, including thin liquid, thick liquid, semi-solid (pudding), solid (cookie) and a barium tablet.

- The study is video-recorded for later play-back and analysis.

- The testing is done by a Radiologist and a Speech Pathologist (expert in Swallowing Disorders.)

- It evaluates swallowing, including oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and cervical esophagus.

- It detects the presence of aspiration (getting food in the air tube) and the causes.

- If the patient aspirates (inhales food), therapy is provided to help control it.

After the examination, you can resume your usual diet and take your usual medications unless told otherwise by your doctor.
