Question 1

why does glycosuria occur in nephritic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Kidney damage: The glomeruli (tiny filters in the kidney) becoming damaged in nephrotic syndrome primarily permit the kidney to leak protein, however damage also can permit leakage of glucose/sugar and hence glycosuria.

Question 2

what is nephritic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

See below: Nephritic syndrome is the set of findings due to inflammation, non-infectious inflammation, of the kidney. It is usually contrasted with nephrotic syndrome in which protein loss is the main defect. You may consult this site for more information on this topic:

Question 3

doctors, what is the difference between nephrotic and nephritic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Glomerulonephritis: Nephrotic Syndrome means excessive amount of protein in the urine (more than 2.5 gm daily) causing swelling of the legs, hands, and/or face with high Cholesterol levels) with or without abnormal kidney function. Nephritic syndrome means abnormal kidney function plus blood and protein (either in the nephrotic range or less) in the urine associated with high blood pressure. Nephritic needs urgent Rx

Question 4

why is there hematuria in nephritic syndrome and not in nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Different physiology: The blood vessels in the glomeruli are damaged by inflammation in the nephritic syndrome sufficient for at least a few of them to bleed. They merely leak protein in the nephrotic syndrome, in which obvious inflammation in the classic sense is not visible but protein-retaining molecules in the gbm are lost. Famously, the membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis family produces both syndromes.

Question 5

why is there selective proteinuria in nephritic and nonselective proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Whoa: Who's your instructor? In nephrotic syndrome, the proteinuria may be selective (mostly albumin, as in most cases of minimal changed disease and any other cause of proteinuria in which the gbm is only modestly damaged) or nonselective (lots of globulin also, as see in the more severe nephrotic syndromes).

Question 6

what can you do for acute radiation syndrome?

Accepted Answer

There are 3 for: Very high dose exposure: CNS - 100% fatal; GI - 100% fatal, bone marrow with whole body doses over 10gy will lead to death without a bone marrow transplant.

Question 7

could you tell me what are 4 symptoms of acute and posttraumatic stress syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Online site: This sounds like it could be a homework assignment. Here is a helpful site:  http://psychcentral.Com/disorders/acute-stress-disorder-symptoms/.

Question 8

how frequent is severe acute respiratory syndrome?

Accepted Answer

See below: In february 2003, the who reported about 300 cases of a rapidly progressive respiratory illness in the guangdong province of china with five deaths. Over the next month, similar cases were reported from hong kong, vietnam, singapore, and canada. The outbreak resulted in a total of 8096 cases with 774 deaths and a case-fatality rate of 9 to 12 percent.

Question 9

is there an actual condition known as tms (traumatic masturbatory syndrome)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Traumatic masturbatory syndrome (tms) is the habit some males have of masturbating in a face-down (prone) position. Tms unfortunately self-discovered an unconventional method. Males who learn to masturbate from other people invariably learn to do it the conventional way. (most males who discover it for themselves also discover the conventional way.).

Question 10

is acute respiratory syndrome fatal?

Accepted Answer

Likely: ARDS still carries a very high mortality rate of about 35-38% in multiple studies and the morbidity rate is higher. Lot of work has been done and is ongoing.
