Questions On The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
All of the following are causes of postrenal failure EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Urethral prolapse doesn't typically cause postrenal failure rare obstruction (e.g., females), unlike bladder tumor (outflow block), phimosis (urethral), and neurogenic bladder (emptying failure). Minimal obstructive impact distinguishes it, key to postrenal etiology, unlike clear blockages.
Question 2 of 5
Cercarial Dermatitis (Bather's itch) caused by:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cercarial dermatitis results from non-human schistosomes penetrating skin, not S. mansoni/haematobium (human parasites) or Trichomonas (STD). This distinguishes parasitic dermatitis, critical for epidemiology, contrasting with human-specific species.
Question 3 of 5
All are characters of renal carcinoma, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) invades veins early, has clear cells, causes hematuria, and affects adults not children (Wilms'). This corrects RCC epidemiology, vital for diagnosis, contrasting with pediatric tumors.
Question 4 of 5
The hyperosmolarity of renal medulla is due to increase content of:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Medullary hyperosmolarity arises from Na+ and urea (countercurrent), not glucose or K+ alone. This defines concentration gradient, critical for urine concentration, contrasting with single solutes.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is NOT true about chronic renal failure:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chronic renal failure (CRF) features hypertension, proteinuria progression, osteodystrophy, and hyperkalemia not hypokalemia (dyslipidemia true). This corrects electrolyte error, critical for CRF management, contrasting with hypokalemic states.
