What is the effect on the glomerular filtration rate

What is the effect on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of a simple rise in renal plasma flow (RPF), with no change in PGC?  How does this rise in RPF produce a rise in GFR in terms of the Starling relationship?  What impact will this increase in RPF have on the plasma protein concentration leaving […]

What determines the ultrafiltration pressure at the glomerulus?

Give the Starling equation of capillary flux in terms specific to the glomerulus.  What determines the ultrafiltration pressure at the glomerulus?  How do the 2 sets of pressures that control GFR, alter from the beginning to the end of the glomerular capillary?  Why does the local ultrafiltration pressure change as blood flows along the glomerular […]

(assign anesthesia code and P modifier) Assign the appropriate code and physical status modifier to describe anesthesia services for this non-MEDICARE claim. This is a 51-year-old man with chronic right-sided submandibular swelling occurring over the last few years. The diagnosis of […]

Describe anesthesia services for this non-MEDICARE claim

Assign the appropriate code and physical status modifier to describe anesthesia services for this non-MEDICARE claim: The patient has the Achilles tendon repaired with a graft. The patient has controlled hypertension. Assign the appropriate code and physical status modifier to describe anesthesia services for this non-MEDICARE claim: A healthy 60-year-old patient underwent a laryngoscopy. Assign […]
