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.

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?

I believe your answer is d. Derek is hungry or needs to have his diaper changed.
Option c could be correct but option d seems more likely
I hope this is the answer you're looking for and good luck.
One of the solutions to limited healthcare as a result of limited facilities in rural areas would be to have standby ambulances for cases that cannot be handled.
<h3>Solutions to limited healthcare in rural areas</h3>
Available health facilities are limited in rural areas for a variety of reasons. Some of these could be:
- Lack of manpower to handle equipment and facilities.
- Lack of regular usage of facilities leading to their malfunctioning
- The inequity of the government
- Lack of access roads and general infrastructural facilities
One way to tackle this problem would be to refer cases that cannot be handled in the rural area to the nearest urban hospital and this can be achieved by providing standby ambulances to transfer patients.
