The nurse is caring for a patient with acute glomerulonephritis. Upon assessment of the patient's urine, the nurse may expect the urine to:
A) Have a cola-color
B) Have fibrinous threads
C) Contain renal calculi
D) Be copious in amount
Ans: A
Feedback: The primary presenting features of acute glomerulonephritis are hematuria, edema, azotemia, and proteinuria. The hematuria may be microscopic, macroscopic, or gross. The urine may appear cola-colored because of red blood cells and protein plugs or casts. Fibrinous threads are commonly seen in peritoneal dialysis fluid drainage. Renal calculi are found in the urine after the patient passes the calculi. Copious amounts of urine are not noted with acute glomerulonephritis, as the patient retains fluid, develops edema, and may experience oliguria.
