One patient has a GFR of 5 ml/min and one patient has a GFR of 120 ml/min. Both have a daily urine output of 1.8 L per day.
- Please explain how they both can have the same daily urine output despite such large differences in GFR.
- In a patient with a GFR of 5 ml/min, can diuretics increase urine output?
- Do diuretics have any impact on clearance of uremic toxins?
