BIO 151 Lab Exam 4 Skeletal System Complete Study Guide With Solution
The patient's lab results indicate low sodium, high potassium, and elevated creatinine,
which indicate kidney dysfunction. However, the patient was diagnosed with DIC. Why
would a patient with DIC have kidney dysfunction? Select all that apply.
Correct answer:
The thromboses block blood flow causing ischemia and organ damage.
Answer,
Plasmin can degrade the basement membrane of the kidney's filtering system and
decrease their filtration rate.
Incorrect answer:
The insoluble fibrin is damaging the nephrons.
Selected Answer - Incorrect
Correct answer:
Sepsis is decreasing the patient's blood pressure, which decreases blood flow to the
kidneys, causing damage.
Answer,
An overabundance of clotting factors can damage the kidneys.

A patient with DIC has an increased PT/PTT lab test. This means it takes longer for their
blood to clot in vitro (in a test tube). Why would that be the case?
The blood has increased tissue factor.
, Not Selected
Correct answer:
The blood has a decreased amount of clotting factors present.
The blood has increased activated Factor XII.
, Not Selected
The blood has activated Factor X.
