Question

ssay I Discuss why diabetes mellitus results in a condition called polyuria. Additionally, if you were to cates nrocess to categorize this as an issue of filtration, reabsorption, or secretion, then which physiological process is mainly affected? Multiple Choicel (5 points) Identify the true statements and correct the false statements. In your corrects, include a rationale. patient is admitted to the hospital due to the presence of blood and albumin in his urine. As an tgst,you know that the kidney's functional unit is the nephron. Which statement(s) about the glomerulus is(are) correct and which is(are) wrong? Thi s is an issue of reabsorption. Blood and albumin are not being reabsorbed back into the peritubular capillaries and vasa recta. b. This is an issue of filtration. Tight interdigitations and tight junctions are damaged in the glomerulus. C. The pressures that affect filtration are osmotic pressure in the glomerulus, and capsular hydrostatic pressure, which is the wate pressure exerted in the glomerulus. only glomerular hydrostatic pressure, which is the the alomerulus, is affected during this issue.

Explanation / Answer

1. Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which level of blood glucose rises above normal limits. This in turn causes loss of glucose in ultrafiletrate. Presence of glucose raises osmotic concentration of ultrafiletrate which in turn causes withdrawal of more water into ultrafiletrate from blood of particular capillaries. Thus amount of ultrafiletrate rises causing production of more amount of dilute urine. Thus person suffers from frequent urination called as polyuria. Process of reabsorption is mainly affected by this condition.
