Question

1. A glucose meter shows that a patient’s blood contains 125 mg% of glucose. Express this value in mg/ml.

2. What is the creatinine clearance (ml/min) for a 35 year old female who is 5’7” tall weighs 234 lb, and has a serum creatinine concentration of 7.2 mg/dL? (use the Jeliffe equation).

3. What is the IBW (in pounds) for a 34 year old male who is 6’4” tall?

4. Calculate the creatinine clearance rate (ml/min) for a 20 year old male patient weighing 70 kg with a serum creatinine of 1 mg/dL. If a patient is 5 ft 8in. tall, adjust the creatinine clearance based on body surface area. (calculate CrCl based on Jelliffe Equation)

Explanation / Answer

According to the Chegg guidelines I'll answer the first question when more than one question is posted. Post them separately to get the answers.

1) Patient's blood contains 125mg% of glucose.

This means that 125 mg / 100 mL is present in patient's body. So, mg/mL will be 125/100 = 1.25mg/ml.
