(Latest ) REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS Rasmussen .
What is a genetic defect in young children with cystitis? –
ANSWER-vesicoureteral reflux; back flow of urine from the
bladder to the ureter and renal pelvis
How do kidney tubules maintain a normal pH in response to
fever and respiratory infection? - ANSWER-secrete acid and
reabsorb bicards
Why does metabolic acidosis occur? - ANSWER-excessive
production of fixed acids;
- DKA
- lactic acidosis
- low flow states
- loss of buffers, like loss of bicarb from GIT or
- inability of kidney to eliminate acids; ie. renal failure
What is the serum marker ordered when screening fro prostate
cancer? - ANSWER-PSA- Prostate specific antigen
,What are complications of hydronephrosis? - ANSWER-
ischemia and necrosis; swelling and build-up of fluid in the
kidney; back flow, swelling pressure
What is the cause of increased glomerular filtration rate? -
ANSWER-increase in the glomerular capillary hydrostatic
pressure
What is the most common cause of pyelonephritis? - ANSWER-
E. coli; ascending UTI
What are the risk factors for developing chronic renal failure? -
ANSWER-too much Nsaids, chronic kidney disease; diabetes
type 1; hypertension
clinical manifestations of primary aldosteronism - ANSWER-
hypertension and hypokalemia
clinical manifestations of secondary aldosteronism - ANSWER-
High blood pressure. -
Low level of potassium in the
blood. - Feeling tired all the
time. - Headache. - Muscle
weakness. - Numbness.
, What is myxedema? - ANSWER-severe hypothyroidism; non
pitting edema
What are the causes of hypothyroidism? - ANSWER-
Hashimoto's disease: most common when the immune system
attacks the thyroid cells
- after surgical or radioactive treatment for hyperthyroidism
- head or neck radiation for cancer
- iodine deficiency
What are the three p's in diabetes? - ANSWER-polydipsia,
polyuria, polyphagia
What is the difference between primary and secondary
endocrine disorders? - ANSWER-Primary endocrine disease
inhibits the action of downstream glands, malfunction of the
hormone producing gland; Secondary endocrine disease is
indicative of a problem with the pituitary gland.
What are the functions of the kidneys? - ANSWER-Regulation
of blood pressure; regulating blood osmolarity; removal of
toxins; blood filtration; activate vitamin D

hypertrophy? -
