alcohol effects on urine
Transcript of Effect of Alcohol on the Urinary/Reproductive system. Thank You! Alcohol interferes with the kidneys ability to function properly. Acute (one time) and Chronic (several times) alcohol consumption can also damage the kidneys. Renal Failure is when the Kidneys can't properly filter out all the waste from the blood. The porter in the above excerpt also notes the effect of alcohol on urine excretion. Alcohol inhibits the pituitary secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which acts on the kidney to reabsorb water. Alcohol acts on the hypothalamus/pituitary to reduce the circulating levels of ADH. When ADH levels drop, the kidneys do not reabsorb as much water; consequently, the kidneys produce more urine. They ingested 1.3 g/kg of ethanol in fasting state, and blood and urine samples were taken at before ingestion, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours after ethanol ingestion. Snack was supplied after 4 hours of alcohol intake, and 500 mL of free water was allowed. Transcript of Effect of Alcohol on the Urinary/Reproductive system. Thank You! Alcohol interferes with the kidneys ability to function properly. Acute (one time) and Chronic (several times) alcohol consumption can also damage the kidneys. Renal Failure. Post-alcohol ingestion urine pH was significantly decreased (p=0.002). Urine sodium and chloride excretions were not changed after ethanol, but urinary potassium excretion was significantly decreased (61.09±25.3 to 40.16±11.9, p<0.001). There was no correlation between urine pH and urine electrolyte excretion. Ethanol is worldwide favored beverage among the young adults, but heavy drinking cause many social problems and medical problems such as liver cirrhosis, central nervous system problem. These toxic effects are mainly caused by acetaldehyde, the metabolyte of ethanol. Alcohol may be detected in the urine for 1 to 2 hours longer than it is detected in blood. The presence of alcohol in the urine indicates recent prior use, but may not correlate with the degree of intoxication observed at the time the specimen is provided. Increments of urine continuously pool in the bladder, and each contains a different amount of ethanol. 1 doctor agreed: Urine & Alcohol: If you are talking about drug testing and urine then it all depends on the type of test. The newer tests, the measure the enzyme in your liver stimulated by alcohol you are talking about a week or so. ...Read more. Alcohol metabolite: The common alcohol urine test examines the urine for a metabolite of alcohol, ethyl glucronide. It can be detected up to five days after intake of alcohol, so called 80 hour test. It is accurate and may be too accurate in that the result may be positive for using alcohol gel for hand sanitation. Alcohol Urine. When alcohol is ingested, it is absorbed directly from the proximal small intestine and distributed throughout the entire fluid space of the body. After equilibrium is reached, alcohol will be found in all tissues of the body in proportion to their water content.
Alcohol inhibits the pituitary secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which acts on the kidney to reabsorb water.
