Patient discussion about Q ?.

Q. Q. I want to know about urine protein creatine ratio in diagnosing nephrotic syndrome. Please explain interms of unit such as mg/mg or mmol/mg. Normal range, nephrotic range with good referrence.

A. Nephrotic syndrome is defines as a damage to the kidneys, in which there is a leak of large amounts of protein (over 3.5 grams of protein / 24 hours urine output) from the blood to the urine. Protein loss causes low protein count in the blood (hypoalbuminemia) and edemas (excess fluid in the interstitial cavity which is between the cells, causes leg swelling most often, and also in the adbomen and around the eyes).

Q. i raed the A & Q down here at the ADHD Community . and i realize i am not sure what being ADHD means .. i am not ADHD , but i was sure it is a hyper active , or over energy behavior or something like that , and that it is most common among children ... after i read the latest question ( i can't remember her/his nickname ... but the subject of the question is the correlation between ADHD and memory problems .. in the question it been describe the relation between ADHD and the fact that her child has a memory problem , i guess a serious one ... are their other common symptoms i wasn't aware of for people with ADHD ???

A. hyperactivity is just one of 3 branches of symptoms-
Hyperactivity
Impulsiveness
Inattention
it's ironic, but a child needs to show at least two of those branches in order to be considered ADHD. so an ADHD kid could be diagnosed as one and not be hyperactive :)
