Question

Does a patient with Bright's Disease have a sweet or aromatic or no odor in the urine? (posting the picture)

Answer 1

I don't think that the patient with Bright's Disease has any odor to their urine sample.

Answer 2

What are your four choices?Bright's Disease, Normal, Hypoglycemic and what...?

Answer 3

Um hm, I understand that. But there are four samples. Which three diseases do you have to chose from, assuming that one of the samples is from a normal person?

Answer 4

For starters, the diabetic patient will have a lot of glucose in their blood. Because they have too much of it in their blood for it to be reabsorbed in the kidneys, it stays in the urine.

Answer 5

I do too. Traces of glucose can be present in the blood and doctors don't really worry about it much until it is more than 100 mg/dl. Two is the only one drastically over that.

Answer 6

The thing which is abnormal about sample C is the pH. Normal urine ranges in pH from 5 to 7.

Answer 7

yea, i chose C also for the hydrogen ion concentration

all i dont get is the hypoglycemia and bright's disease

Answer 8

what i found online is that bright's disease gives a high blood pressure, so more urine is flow through the nephron, so i think there will be a higher urine output

Answer 9

Yeah, I would go with A for that. I don't think Bright's disease is actually recognised by pathologists anymore - it is actually a collection of different diseases - which makes collecting info about it rather difficult.

Hypoglycemia does not have much effect on urine, to the best of my knowledge, so it's likely D.

A = Bright's disease by process of elimination.

Answer 10

but B has a higher urine output
so is it not B because bright disease doesnt cause glucose to be in urine?

Answer 11

and will protein decreases the pH level?

Answer 12

Not necessarily. With Bright's disease I don't think you would see the drastic increase in glucose that you see in sample B.

It is a pite exuras has exams - he'd like this one.

Answer 13

Haven't we already sorted out which is which?

A = Bright's Disease
B = Diabetes
C = Hydrogen Ion Concentration
D = Normal / Hypoglycemia

Answer 14

so normal is the same as hypoglycemia?? cuz i dont get who people determine whether they have hypoglycemia using urine test if the results will be the same as normal

Answer 15

I am confused because urine tests for hypoglycemia look for ketones. Not glucose. Your sheet specifically says glucose...

Answer 16

yea, i am confused about that too. i think i will just put it in that order. thanks
u dont know how much u have helped me, likeee a lotttt
omg, i was so scared just now....cant even concentrate to study for my math test tmr..ahh
thanks thanks

Answer 17

Best of luck with your tests! Hope the answers prove as helpful as you think they are now.
