Why would sam have an increase in respiratory rate? How does the increase in respiratory rate help?
pickupchik [31]

As the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is very low, the glomerulus is not able to filter waste products into the renal tube. This decreases the rate of excretion of waste products. Ultimately, the respiration rate increases to remove excess of carbon dioxide from the blood.

<h3>What is Glomerular Filtration Rate?</h3>
  • Glomerular Filtration Rate or GFR measures the amount of blood filtered by the kidneys per minute.
  • It tells us about the health condition of the kidneys i.e. how well the kidney is able to filter blood.
  • For normal kidneys, GFR is 60 or above. If GFR is below 60, it means a person has kidney disease. If the GFR reaches as low as 15, it indicates kidney failure.
  • As the patient has chronic renal failure, the glomerulus does not work properly and it results in accumulation of fluids inside the body.
  • The wastes get accumulated and the amount of deoxygenated blood increases.
  • This will lead to increase in respiratory rate to increase the amount of oxygen and remove excess carbon dioxide in the blood.

Disclaimer: The question was given incomplete on the portal. The complete question is given here.

Question: Sam, a 70-year-old man with chronic renal failure, was in for a routine visit at the hospital. Progressive destruction of nephrons leads to chronic renal failure. Sam's blood work indicated low blood pH taken and potassium levels were outside of the normal range. Sam's estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 15 mL/min with a high respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute.

Why would Sam have an increase in respiratory rate? How does the increase in respiratory rate help?

Which of the following would most likely influence the risk of getting pancreatic cancer?
Degger [83]
Eating a high-fat diet would most likely influence the risk of getting pancreatic cancer. The pancreas is in the abdomen. It converts the food we eat into energy for the body's cells. People who ate high amounts of saturated fats had higher rates of pancreatic cancer than did those who ate low amounts because the pancreas have to release more hormone to digest it
