Patients with chronic kidney disease are not likely to develop hyperkalemia as long as
they secrete adequate levels of:
A) antidiuretic hormone
B) Renin
C) Aldosterone
D) Natriuretic peptide – answer Aldosterone
In the Randall's plaque pathway for kidney stone formation, the stone is:
A) attached to plugs protruding from the opening of Bellini ducts
B) fixed to the surface of a renal papilla at sites of interstitial apatite plaque
C) formed in free solution in the renal system collection
D) formed in the interstitial or tubular compartment of the renal medulla - answer fixed to
the surface of a renal papilla at sites of interstitial apatite plaque
Which of the following is NOT associated with renal stone development?
A) high urine protein
B) low urine citrate
C) high urine calcium
D) low urine volume - answerHigh urine protein
The kidneys help regulate acid-base balance by:
A) secreting carbon dioxide
B) producing ammonia
C) reabsorbing phosphates
D) secreting sodium chloride - answerProducing ammonia
The volume of blood that the kidneys can clear of creatinine in 1 minutes is:
A) tubular reabsorption
B) tubular secretion
C) glomerular filtration rate
D) creatinine clearance - answerCreatinine clearance
Which of the following laboratory values is an amino acid breakdown that represents the
glomerular filtration rate and metabolism in muscles?
A) uric acid
B) creatinine
C) nitrate
D) phosphate - answerCreatinine
Which of the following is NOT a vital function of the kidney?
A) Erythropoiesis
, B) Regulation of calcium formation
C) Acid base balance
D) Temerature regulation - answerTemperature regulation ( Vital functions of the kidney
include: Maintaining fluid and acid base balance; regulating electrolyte concentration;
removing wastes and excess fluid; regulating blood pressure; aiding red blood cel
production (erythropoiesis); and regulating Vitamin D and calcium formation
Medications associated with acute urinary retention include:
A) proton pump inhibitors
B) antihyperglycemics
C) beta blocker
D) antihistamines - answerAntihistamines (Tricyclic antidepressants, antispasmodics,
antiparkinsonian, antipsychotics, vertigo treatment, bronchodilators, and over active
bladder drugs).
Nephrons in the kidney:
A) are insignificant to the ability of the kidney to clear plasma solutes
B) are only found in the distal convoluted tubule
C) contribute to the total glomerular filtration rate
D) are ill equipped to maintain glomerular filtration rate - answerContribute to the total
glomerular filtration rate
A 45 year old man with peripheral neuropathy reports being awakened frequently at
night by the urge to urinate. Which type of incontinence is usually associated with this
presentation?
A) Functional incontinence
B) Overflow incontinence
C) Urge incontinence
D) Idiopathic incontinence - answerUrge incontinence. (Bladder dysfunction can
develop as a result of several neurological conditions, including peripheral neuropathy)
Dysfunction can result from debris or over activity or bladder outlet obstruction and
result in urge urinary incontinence or stress incontinence. Diabetic neuropathy is the
most common cause of peripheral neuropathy associated bladder dysfunction. Overflow
incontinence results from impaired detrusor contractility . Functional incontinence is a
results of a physical or mental impairment preventing successful voiding Idiopathic
incontinence develops suddenly as a result of disease.
Aldosterone helps regulate water reabsorption by regulating which one of the following
electrolyte?
A) Phosphate
B) Chloride
C) Calcium
D) Sodium - answerSodium. Aldosterone regulates water reabsorption by the distal
tubules and changes urine concentration by increasing sodium reabsorption . A high
plasma aldosterone concentration increases sodium and water reabsorption by the
