Explain why a person with nephrotic syndrome develops edema.

Medicine
1 answer:
AURORKA [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Nephrotic syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms due to <u>kidney damage.</u>  

It is characteristic:

- Proteinuria (>3,5 g per 1,73m2 body surface area per day)

- Hypoalbuminemia (<2,5 g/dl)

- Hyperlipidemia

- Edema (the first signs can be seen in the face)

The edema is caused <u>due to the hypoalbuminemia.</u> When oncotic pressure drops, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial tissues, leaving intravascular space. In response to the dropped volume in intravascular space, the kidneys tends to <u>retain water and sodium</u>, this also contribute to edema developing.

<h3>What is physical health?</h3>

Physical fitness refers to a state of health and wellbeing and, more particularly, the capacity to engage in certain activities related to sports, jobs, and daily living. Physical fitness is often attained with healthy eating, moderate-intense exercise, enough rest, and a formal recovery plan.

Fitness was once understood to be the ability to complete the day's tasks without becoming overly exhausted or lethargic. The ability of the body to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, to improve the immune system, and to respond to emergency situations is now considered to be measured by physical fitness due to automation and changes in lifestyle.

A taxi driver who is a serial killer kidnaps his passenger and force the passenger to play the game of death with him.
ella [17]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see now that there is a 50% chance of the taxi driver picking the poisonous pill each time. This seems like a high chance at first, but if you keep on doing it over and over again the probability is smaller and smaller that he will survive. The first time it is 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, and it gets smaller and smaller. Therefore, there must be something else going on for this taxi driver to have such good luck.

We see that passenger is the one who picks it because if the taxi driver picked it, it would be rigged. However, there has to be a way that the passenger always dies. Therefore, it makes the most sense that the poison isn't actually in the pills, but in something else.

We see that each passenger had to swallow the pill with water. When they say that one of them is harmless and the other one is poisonous, they did not clarify that they were talking about the pills. They could have easily been talking about the glasses of water. And, the passenger does not pick which glass of water to drink, so it could easily be rigged so that they are drinking poisoned water.

Sherlock could have easily asked to swallow the pill with his own water, another drink, or to swallow it without any liquid.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Lina20 [59]

Answer: The potential sources of vitamin B-12 are:

--> Hard boiled egg and

--> Yogurt

Explanation:

Vegetarians are individuals that involves in a dietary practice whereby they avoid some foods such as meat and by products of meat. This is practised by these individuals either due to the health benefits or for some religious beliefs.

There are different types of vegetarians, these include:

--> strict vegetarians

--> lacto vegetarians

--> Ovo vegetarians

--> Pesco vegetarians

--> partial vegetarians and

--> lacto Ovo vegetarians.

LACTO OVO VEGETARIANS are those vegetarians that exclude meat, poultry, and fish but take plant-based foods, dairy products, and eggs. They can obtain vitamin B-12 from hard boiled eggs and yogurts. This is so because, Vitamin B12 is naturally found only in animal foods such as meat, fish, seafood, poultry, eggs, milk, yogurt and cheese. Since the lacto ovo vegetarians do not feed on meat, fish or seafood, the potential sources of vitamin B-12 for a person who follows a lactoovovegetarian dietary pattern are hard boiled egg and dairy products such as yogurt
