Frage 9
Frage
What is the pathophysiologic process responsible for the autoimmune disorder of
hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)?
Antworten
-
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) coats erythrocytes that are destroyed by the spleen, and remnants are excreted through the kidneys.
-
Verotoxin from Escherichia coli is absorbed from the intestines and damages
erythrocytes and endothelial cells.
-
Endotoxins from E. coli block the erythropoietin produced by the kidneys, which reduces the number of erythrocytes produced by the bone marrow.
-
Failure of the nephron to filter urea increases the blood urea nitrogen, which binds to erythrocytes that are subsequently destroyed by the spleen.

Frage 12
Frage
What causes vesicoureteral reflux to occur in children?
Antworten
-
Children do not ask for help in urinating in a timely manner, and urine is forced up into the ureters.
-
The submucosal segment of a child’s ureter is short, making the antireflux
mechanism inefficient.
-
The trigone lying between the opening to the ureters and the urethra is
underdeveloped in children.
-
As the bladder fills in infants and children, it pulls the smooth lining of the
transitional epithelium away from the ureters, making the reflux valves ineffective.
