What percentage of kidney function is normal in 70 year olds?
Normal kidney function in healthy 70 year olds is generally around 50-60%. However, kidney function naturally declines with age, so it's important to monitor kidney function through regular check-ups.
What characteristics does a normal kidney nuclear medicine scan have?
The test reveals normal kidney function for age and medical situation.
What does eGFR over 90 imply?
Normal renal (kidney) function.
What are the effects of common drugs such as penicillin the myceins etc on kidney function?
Generally speaking, little or no effect on kidney function. However, kidney function may have an effect on the drugs. Most antibiotics are excreted via the kidneys, and reduced kidney function can cause a buildup in the body exceeding normal dosage levels.
A kidney transplant requires two kidneys to replace the function of the recipient's kidneys?
A person can function perfectly normal with 1 health kidney. The surgery will take one kidney out of the donor (leaving one) and transplanting it into the recipient.
If you lose a kidney you can still survive and lead a normal life with one kidney because?
the remaining kidney is able to compensate for the lost function of the removed kidney. People can live with one healthy kidney and still have normal kidney function and lead a healthy life. It is important to have regular check-ups and adopt a healthy lifestyle to support kidney function.
Can a person live without their kidney?
No it is not possible, yes in ESR stage some people are living. End-stage renal disease is where a persons' kidney function is too low to adequately support life without support, around 10% or less of normal function. Obviously without either kidney there will be no function.
What is Normal eGFR?
A normal eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is typically above 90 mL/min/1.73m². This value indicates normal kidney function, with higher numbers indicating better kidney function. It is important to note that eGFR values can vary based on age, sex, muscle mass, and other factors.
What is the half life of lasix?
The half-life of Lasix (furosemide) varies depending on factors such as age, kidney function, and dosage. On average, the half-life is around 1-1.5 hours in adults with normal kidney function.
What happens to an injured kidney?
Depending on the injury and what is the cause, a kidney might not be able to function correctly, or to function at all. There are two kidneys in a normal body, and the surviving kidney is capable in functioning alone.Depends entirely on how big/bad the injury is. Can be anything from the kidney having to be removed to sometemporary bruising/bleeding that heals of it own.
What causes low GFR?
GFR means glomerular filtration rate. It is a way to measure the kidney's function. In adults the GFR should be somewhere between 100 and 130, while in children it should be about 110. Since the GFR is a measure of the kidney's function it is used to help classify kidney disease. GFR > 90 with no signs of kidney damage like proteinurea = normal GFR > 90 with signs of kidney damage = Category 1 GFR 60-90 = Category 2 (mild) GFR 30-60 = Category 3 (moderate) GFR 30-15 = Category 4 (severe) GFR < 15 = Category 5 (kidney failure)
What does a GFR of 82 mean?
A GFR or the glomerular filtration rate that is 82 means that someone has 2nd stage disease in the kidney. The function of the kidney that is normal declines through age.
