have end-stage renal disease and receive hemodialysis three times each week at an
outpatient clinic?
Autosomal dominant
Autosomal recessive
Nephronophthisis-medullary
Acquired
A 22-year-old client with a history of intermittent flank pain, repeated urinary tract
infections (UTIs), and hematuria has been diagnosed with autosomal dominant
polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Which factor has most likely contributed to the
development of this diagnosis?
A. UTIs coupled with an impaired immune response have caused ADPKD.
B. The client has inherited a tendency for epithelial cells in the tubules to proliferate
inappropriately.
C. Severe hypertension and portal hypertension are likely precursors.
D. The client has inherited undersized kidneys that are prone to calculi formation.
An x-ray of an individual with nephronophthisis-medullary cystic disease would show
kidneys that are:
Normally sized with a few cysts less than 1 cm in diameter
Enlarged with multiple cysts
Shrunken with cysts at the corticomedullary junction
Enlarged with dilation of the cortical and medullary collecting tubules
