Vomiting commonly causes:
From: Acid-Base PhysiologyCorrect answer: B. Loss of gastric H+ through vomiting raises plasma bicarbonate and causes metabolic alkalosis.The clearance of PAH is used to estimate:
From: Renal Blood Flow & GFRCorrect answer: D. PAH is filtered and strongly secreted, so its clearance approximates effective renal plasma flow.Glucose enters proximal tubular cells across the luminal membrane by:
From: Tubular Reabsorption & SecretionCorrect answer: B. Sodium-glucose cotransport uses the Na+ gradient to reabsorb glucose.Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by:
From: Urine Concentration & DilutionCorrect answer: E. In nephrogenic DI, ADH is present but the kidney does not respond appropriately.
