Question 1 of 5

If the plasma glucose is increasing more than 180 mg% but less than 270 mg:%

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Above 180 mg/dL (renal threshold), glucose filtration exceeds reabsorption capacity, increasing filtered and excreted amounts not fixed, equal, or absent in urine. This reflects glycosuria dynamics, key for diabetes monitoring, contrasting with normal reabsorption limits.

Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.

Question 5 of 5

With respect to glomerular filtration:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Glomerular filtration is passive ultrafiltration not unaffected by RBF (affects pressure) or 137 L/min (180 L/day). This corrects filtration mechanics, critical for GFR, contrasting with rate or flow errors.
