Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricacies of Fractional Excretion of Sodium (FENa) and its role in assessing kidney function in this comprehensive 16-minute video from Medicosis Perfectionalis. Delve into key concepts of nephrology, including kidney function tests, renal clearance of sodium, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Compare serum creatinine, GFR, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) while understanding estimated GFR (eGFR) and its significance. Examine various types of kidney failure, including acute renal failure (ARF), acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure (CRF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Learn about urinalysis, urine tests, and the importance of sodium, creatinine, and other substances in kidney function assessment. Gain insights into kidney physiology, including the structure and function of glomeruli, tubules, nephrons, and the urinary system.
