Question 1 of 5

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is ~60 mmHg, not 65, 75, or 55. This quantifies filtration pressure, critical for GFR calculation, contrasting with misestimates.

Question 2 of 5

The apex of the renal pyramid is called the:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Renal papilla is the pyramid apex draining into calyces, not calyx or pelvis. This specifies medullary tip, key for urine collection, contrasting with collecting structures.

Question 3 of 5

Which antibiotic course is inappropriate for clinical scenario?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Male cystitis treatment with Augmentin/trimethoprim for 14 days is excessive 7 days suffices (e.g., complicated UTI risk higher, but not this long), inappropriate. Trimethoprim 3 days for female cystitis standard, short-course. Pyelonephritis with IV gentamicin/amoxicillin then 7-day Augmentin reasonable step-down. Nitrofurantoin in pregnancy (dose likely typo, 50-100 mg typical) for 7-14 days acceptable. Male duration overreach distinguishes it, key to guideline-based therapy, unlike appropriate regimens.

Question 4 of 5

Which is incorrect of renal transplant patients?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Cyclosporine toxicity is common, not rare narrow therapeutic window, unpredictable levels (e.g., nephrotoxicity), incorrect. Identical twins need no immunosuppression genetic match, true. Rejection symptoms (tenderness, oliguria, creatinine rise) classic, accurate. Infection's early dominance (80% in year 1) correct. Toxicity's frequency distinguishes the error, critical for transplant management, unlike true donor, rejection, or infection statements.

Question 5 of 5

What is the most common age group for testicular torsion?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: 12-18 years is the peak for testicular torsion pubertal growth (bell-clapper deformity) increases risk, most common. <10 years occurs less frequent. 20-25 wanes still possible. 30-50 is rare adult decline. Adolescent predominance distinguishes it, critical for emergency recognition, unlike younger or older groups.
