Exercise 36

Given hypothetic laboratory data, calculate a PAH clearance and relate this result to renal blood flow.

Step 1 of 5

Consider the following hypothetic laboratory data to compute a PAH clearance (effective renal plasma):

• Urine volume in 2 hours: 300 mL

• Urine PAH: 200 mg/dL

• Plasma PAH: 0.75 mg/dL

Renal plasma:

• The plasma content of blood which flow through kidney.
