◉ The most common cause of ischemic acute tubular necrosis (ATN)
in the United States is
hypotension.
hypovolemia.
renal artery stenosis.
sepsis. Answer: sepsis.
◉ The organism most commonly associated with acute
pyelonephritis is
Streptococcus.
Escherichia coli.
Klebsiella.
Enterobacter.. Answer: Escherichia coli.
◉ One cause of an extrinsic renal system obstruction is
,clot.
pelvic tumor.
neurogenic bladder.
papillary necrosis.. Answer: pelvic tumor.
◉ The condition characterized by oliguria and hematuria is
acute glomerulonephritis.
polycystic kidney disease.
cystitis.
renal insufficiency.. Answer: acute glomerulonephritis.
◉ A person who is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome is also
experiencing hypoalbuminemia. This happens because
hepatocyte failure decreases albumin synthesis.
albumin is excreted in the urine.
albumin leaks into the interstitial spaces.
malnutrition is part of nephrotic syndrome.. Answer: albumin is
excreted in the urine.
, ◉ The condition associated with end-stage chronic renal disease
that is the most immediately life threatening is
azotemia.
increased creatinine.
hypertension.
hyperkalemia.. Answer: hyperkalemia.
◉ Hyperlipidemia occurs in nephrotic syndrome because
hepatocytes synthesize excessive lipids.
lipids are not excreted in the urine.
body fats are catabolized.
muscles stop burning triglycerides for energy.. Answer: hepatocytes
synthesize excessive lipids.
◉ The most likely cause of acidosis in a patient with end-stage renal
disease is
insufficient filtration of bicarbonate ions at the glomerulus.
excessive production of respiratory and metabolic acids.
insufficient metabolic acid excretion resulting from nephron loss.
