Question

Which of the samples of urine indicated kidney disease?
Experimental Design
This experiment aims at investigating the indications of kidney diseases using urine samples. This is by using Biuret reagents to identify proteins and Benedict’s solution to identify sugars in urine samples. Litmus papers were also used in the determination of the pH level of the urine samples.

Materials

The materials used in the experiment were:
- Safety goggles
- Eight test tubes
- Hot water bath
- Four urine samples labeled W, X, Y, and Z
- Tape and pen/pencil

Rhabdomyolysis

Introduction
In normal conditions, muscles grow when certain activities cause the muscle fibers to become damaged and then subsequently regrown and developed through a series of cellular process. This activity occurs during the body is at rest. In other words, the continuous breakdown is normal for growing muscles as it allows them to become bigger through the introduction of myrofibrils, or muscle fibers.
However, there is a condition when the muscle fibers break down rapidly due to a number of reasons, and then they do not regrow at a corresponding rate. This condition is known in medical circles as ...

What is organ donation?

Organ donation is the voluntary giving of an organ or tissue so as to help someone who needs them or whose organs have failed. Organ donation is normally done to save or enhance other people’s lives. Donating one’s organ is an act of generosity and any willing donor will be informed about the procedure and will be thanked for their actions to save humanity.

The term bioethics was coined in the early 1970s by biologists who brought to the public’s attention two pressing issues; the need to maintain the plant’s ecology and the implication of advances in the life sciences toward manipulating human nature. Van Rensselaer Potter has focused on the growing human ability to change the nature, including human nature and the implication of this for our global future [ CITATION Van71 \l 1033 ]. While bioethics has been interdisciplinary since its inception, theology played a fundamental role in its creation. It continues to have a profound influence today also.
At its inception, ...

Uranium (U) element was discovered by a German chemist, Heinrich Klaproth, in 1789. Uranium is a radioactive element with an atomic weight of 238.02891 and an atomic number of 92. The uranium element initially discovered by Heinrich was an oxide, uranium oxide. A French chemist, Eugène-Melchoir Péligot, was the first person to produce pure uranium by reacting it with potassium in a heated platinum crucible. The element’s radioactive properties were established in 1896 by a French physicist known as Antoine Henri Becquerel. Currently, uranium can be extracted from various ores such as carnotite (K2(UO2)2VO4· ...

Introduction

Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a medical condition which comprises of incessantly elevated blood pressure in the arteries. Hypertension may cause damage to the organs and several illnesses including renal failure, heart failure, heart attack or stroke. According to (Luehr, Hayes, Johnson & Burke (2012), close to 30% of the adult American (U.S.) population have hypertension. Majority of these people are those over 65 years. This means that nearly 66.9 million U.S. citizens have hypertension. This number is predicted to rise as the number of those above 65 years continues to rise. Poor adherence to medication and ...

Abstract:

Hypertension is a condition of the arteries dilating out of experiencing high pressure during the pumping of blood by the heart. It is also known as high blood pressure condition. Hypertension leads to the occurrence of other diseases in the body such heart failure, kidney diseases and stroke. These diseases are ranked among the top killers in the United States and the rest of the world. For this reason, a study was conducted with the intention of finding ways to prevent hypertension among the Glasgow Caledonian University students. The research showed the knowledge of the respondents for the causes of hypertension, ...

Introduction

The kidneys refer to the organs that are involved with several important regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. Kidneys play a crucial role in the urinary system as well as in the homeostatic functions such as electrolyte regulation, maintaining a balance between the acids and bases, and in regulating blood pressure. Kidneys filter the blood removing wastes, which are then taken to the urinary bladder as urine. During urine production, wastes such as ammonia and urea are excreted while substances such as glucose, water and amino acids reabsorbed. The kidney is also responsible for the production of hormones such as erythropoietin and ...

Introduction

ATDAS is an acronym for Alliance for Donation and Transplantation Awareness and Support. This name is built in concrete explanation of the role that the company plays in the community. It is an indication that the name was founded on critical analysis of its purpose as a result of concrete argument or discussion between its stakeholders. It was founded in July 2005 by two transplant recipients; Jennifer Sutt, a kidney and pancreas transplant recipient as well as John Mitas who was a Liver transplant recipient. The two individuals were volunteers and support group facilitators at their transplant center (ADTAS, 2012).
