When evaluating kidney function in the older debilitated adult, it is a priority for the nurse to review the results of which test?
|
Creatinine clearance |
||
|
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) |
||
|
Serum creatinine |
||
|
Renal ultrasound |
Homework Answers
Ans: A nurse should give priority for 24hours urine collection of Creatinine clearance test to estimate kidney function of elderly.
Rationale
Blood urea nitrogen test is elevated means there is may be problem with kidney or liver.
Serum creatinine: Even though it is regularly used test to estimate kidney function, for elderly it may be inaccurate. Because elderly has reduced muscle mass which may give incorrect serum creatinine results.
Renal ultrasound: It is best method to evaluate renal structures and its abnormality.

1. A 27-year-old male comes to the clinic complaining of rash and puffiness around the eyes. On examination he is well built, blood pressure 146/96 mm Hg (normally 120/80 mm Hg), pulse 82 beats per minute. There is an erythematous malar (red) rash present on the face. Further investigation of his renal function shows serum creatinine 5 mg/mL (normal 0.7 -1.3 mg/mL) and blood urea nitrogen BUN 40 mg/mL (normal 5 - 20 mg/mL). Both creatinine and BUN are waste...

2. Renal Function and Dialysis Metabolism of protein in your diet produces urea as a byproduct. The rate of urea production (r_u) depends on how much protein you eat and how big you are (measured by your body fluid volume, V). A realistic urea production rate for an average person (\/=40 L) is about r_u= 15 mg/min. Urea produced in the liver is rapidly distributed throughout the body's fluid volume V; the average urea concentration in the body's fluids is...
