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.

What are the phases of mitosis and what happens in each?
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

Mitosis is the nuclear division followed by cytokinesis, which leads to the production of two daughter cells.

<u>It includes the following phases - </u>

1. Interphase - In this process the Cell actively metabolizes and prepare itself for the process of mitosis and the Chromosomes are not clearly discerned .

2. Prophase - In this phase , the Chromatin gets to condense and can be visualized under a light microscope and  Nucleolus gets disappeared , Centrioles begins to move to opposite ends of the cell .

3. Metaphase - In this phase the Spindle fibers gets align the chromosome along the middle of the nucleus of the cell thereby creating a metaphase plate .

4. Anaphase - In this phase , the chromosomes which got paired up gets separate at the kinetochores and move to the opposite directions of the cell , the Spindle microtubules and physical interaction among polar microtubules is responsible for kinetochore movement.

5. Telophase - In this phase , the Chromatids completely move to the opposite poles of the cell , and new membranes start forming around the daughter nuclei and the Chromosomes disperse and become invisible. Cytokinesis starts.

6. Cytokinesis - In this final process the Actin fiber ring around the center of the cell contracts and create the cell into two daughter cells.
