For accurate evaluation of renal tubular concentrating ability,patient preparation should include:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fluid deprivation is necessary before the evaluation of renal tubular concentrating ability to ensure that the kidneys are able to maximally concentrate urine. Fasting or increased hydration may not have a significant impact on this ability. Abstaining from all medications may be necessary depending on the specific medications being taken, but it is not a necessary preparatory step for this particular evaluation.
