  • Bacteria
  • Fungi
  • Viruses
  • Parasites

Responda
  • Elevated creatinine concentration
  • Low blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
  • Elevated immunoglobulin A (IgA)
  • Low serum complement

Responda
  • Proliferative
  • Membranous
  • Mesangial
  • Crescentic

Questão 14

Questão
Goodpasture syndrome is an example of which of these?
Responda
  • Antiglomerular basement membrane disease
  • Acute glomerulonephritis
  • Chronic glomerulonephritis
  • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy

Questão 15

Questão

Responda
  • Intravenous pyelogram
  • Oral antibiotics
  • Renal biopsy
  • Cyclophosphamide

Questão 16

Questão
Hypothyroidism, edema, hyperlipidemia, and lipiduria characterize which kidney disorder?
Responda
  • Nephrotic syndrome
  • Acute glomerulonephritis
  • Chronic glomerulonephritis
  • Pyelonephritis

Questão 17

Questão
A patient who has a history of mildly decreased renal function is admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Which antibiotics would the healthcare professional avoid in this patient?
Responda
  • Penicillin and ampicillin
  • Vancomycin and bacitracin
  • Gentamicin and tobramycin
  • Cefazolin and cefepime

Questão 18

Questão
Which urine characteristics are indicative of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) caused by intrinsic (intrarenal) failure?
Responda
  • Urine sodium >30 mEq/L
  • Urine osmolality >500 mOsm
  • Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) <1%
  • Urine sediment has no cells, some hyaline casts

Questão 19

Questão
How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?
Responda
  • Glucose has an osmotic effect, which attracts water and sodium, resulting in more dilute blood and a lower potassium concentration.
  • When insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it.
  • Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell.
  • Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen.

Questão 20

Questão
Creatinine is primarily excreted by glomerular filtration after being constantly released from what type of tissue?
Responda
  • Nervous system
  • Kidneys
  • Muscle
  • Liver

Questão 21

Questão
A professor has taught a student about skeletal alterations seen in chronic kidney disease. Which statement by the student indicates the professor needs to give more information?
Responda
  • Parathyroid hormone is no longer effective in maintaining serum phosphate levels.
  • The parathyroid gland is no longer able to secrete sufficient parathyroid hormone
  • The synthesis of 1,25-vitamin D3, which reduces intestinal absorption of calcium, is impaired.
  • The effectiveness of calcium and phosphate resorption from bone is impaired.

Questão 22

Questão

Responda
  • Intrinsic factor
  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin D
  • Erythropoietin

Questão 23

Questão
