Question 1 of 5

Which statement is incorrect regarding post streptococcal GN?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Antibiotics for strep don't prevent post-strep GN immune-mediated (e.g., anti-strep antibodies), not active infection, incorrect. Childhood predominance true. 7-14 days post-throat/skin accurate latency. Non-preventable nature distinguishes the error, key to GN's pathogenesis, unlike timing or demographic truths.

Question 2 of 5

A 22-year-old previously healthy male complains of dysuria. Genital examination is normal. Urinalysis shows 5 to 10 white blood cells per high power field. Which of the following antibiotic regimens is MOST appropriate?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Azithromycin 1 g + ofloxacin 400 mg once treats urethritis (e.g., Chlamydia/gonorrhea) in young males with dysuria 5-10 WBC fits STD, most appropriate. Ciprofloxacin 2 weeks is pyelonephritis overkill. TMP-SMX 3 days is female UTI short. Cephalexin 7 days lacks STD coverage mismatch. STD regimen distinguishes it, key to age/context, unlike UTI-focused options.

Question 3 of 5

Chronic glomerulonephritis is characterized by:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Chronic glomerulonephritis features hyalinized glomeruli, granular subcapsular surface, shrunken kidneys, and prior disease history not normal calyces, enlargement, or no history. Hyalinization marks end-stage scarring, critical for diagnosis, contrasting with acute features like normal surfaces or enlarged kidneys typical of early inflammation.

Question 4 of 5

Which association is NOT correct?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Medullipin I (hypotensive) isn't linked to peritubular capillary endothelium, unlike PCT (brush border), bladder (transitional), DCT (macula densa), and afferent arterioles (renin). This corrects renal associations, key for physiology, contrasting with true pairings.

Question 5 of 5

In DCT, following are reabsorbed EXCEPT:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: DCT reabsorbs Na+, Cl-, and water (ADH-dependent), but secretes K+ not reabsorbed. This distinguishes DCT ion handling, key for electrolyte balance, contrasting with reabsorption norms.
