    Arrhythmia can result and blood pressure may drop to dangerously low levels, while the dog's kidneys may cease to function properly. [4] [5] [28] [29] Some 35% of canine Addison's cases are diagnosed as the result of an Addisonian crisis. It is a medical emergency. [8] [14] [17] [30]

    The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 mL/min/1.73m 2 in men and 90–120 ml/min/1.73m 2 in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 mL/min/1.73 m 2 until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR decreases ...

    One of the measures of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Other tests that can assess the function of the kidneys include assessment of electrolyte levels such as potassium and phosphate, assessment of acid-base status by the measurement of bicarbonate levels from a vein, and assessment of the full blood count for anaemia.

    The kidney in humans is capable of producing glucose from lactate, glycerol and glutamine. The kidney is responsible for about half of the total gluconeogenesis in fasting humans. The regulation of glucose production in the kidney is achieved by action of insulin, catecholamines and other hormones. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_hyperfiltration

    The primary cause of the lack of clarity surrounding the GFR levels that indicate hyperfiltration is their strong reliance on age. [12] Glomerular hyperfiltration has traditionally been characterized as an elevated whole-kidney GFR, or a GFR greater than two standard deviations above the mean GFR of healthy individuals.

    Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.

    A plasma level of 350 mg/dL will fully saturate the transporters and glucose will be lost in the urine. A plasma glucose level of approximately 160 is sufficient to allow glucosuria, which is an important clinical clue to diabetes mellitus. Amino acids are reabsorbed by sodium dependent transporters in the proximal tubule.
