This clinical presentation is most consistent with: A) prerenal azotemia B) acute glomerulonephritis C) tubular necrosis D) postrenal azotemia - ANSWER - A) prerenal azotemia Rationale; Prerenal azotemia refers to elevations in BUN and creatinine levels resulting from problems in the systemic circulation that decrease flow to the kidneys. Diagnostic confirmation of glomerulonephritis typically requires: A) UA plus a CBC with differential B) Abdominal CT C) Renal US 2 | P a g e D) Renal biopsy - ANSWER - D) Renal biopsy Rationale; Diagnosis of glomerular disease is confirmed by abnormal UA and renal biopsy to confirm specific renal injury and type of pathologic condition.

S3 heart sound - ANSWER - Results from increased atrial pressure leading to increased flow rates, as seen in congestive heart failure, which is the most common cause of a S3. S4 heart sound - ANSWER - The characteristic sound of an S4 is created by the movement of blood during diastole from the atria flowing against a stiff ventricular wall caused by hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, ventricular outflow obstruction, or ische mic heart disease.
