45 yr old man with GFR as measured from the inulin clearance =125 ml/min. The patient's plasma creatinine is 0.01 mg/ml. His urine flow rate is 1 ml/min and the concentration of creatinine in her urine is 1.35 mg/ml. Which of the following statements is not true?



A.The rate of filtration of creatinine is 1.25 mg/min
B The clearance of creatinine is 125 ml/min.
C. The net rate of secretion of creatinine by the tubules is 0.1 mg/min.
D. The rate of creatinine excretion is 1.35 mg/min.
E. If the patient's plasma creatinine is in the steady state, the net rate of creatinine release from muscle and other cells is 1.35 mg/min.

BB

clearance = plasma concentration x urine flow
Cl of Cr = 0.01 x 1 = 0.01
creatinine is not reabsorbed usually.

so option BB ?


by the way @mle2014 is this patient of urs a psuedohermaphodite ? "45 year old man" "in her urine" lolllll just kidding cheers pal thanks for the QQQ

A= true
B= false= 1.35
c,d,e= true

Cx= Ucon. x V/ Pcon
---= 1.35 x 1 / .o1
---=135 mg/ min

OH DARN i did my calculations completely wrong thanks to my incorect formula ...

thanks tazul!!! today doesnt seem like my day im drained!!! ..

thankss a mill

bb is correct
