Questions On The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which statement is incorrect regarding prostatitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prostatitis isn't usually STD-related E. coli (enteric) dominates acute bacterial cases, incorrect. Tender/enlarged prostate classic sign, true. IV gentamicin/ampicillin for severe cases appropriate. Co-trimoxazole concentrates well effective, correct. Non-STD etiology distinguishes the error, key to bacterial prostatitis, unlike physical, severe, or treatment truths.
Question 2 of 5
Which biochemical abnormality is not seen in CRF?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increased erythropoietin isn't CRF levels drop, causing anemia (e.g., renal failure), incorrect. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (phosphate retention), hypocalcemia (low vitamin D), and hyperphosphatemia (excretion loss) all classic. Erythropoietin deficiency distinguishes the error, key to CRF's anemia, unlike metabolic shifts.
Question 3 of 5
All of the following can cause acute renal failure (ARF) EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Iron doesn't typically cause ARF unlike rhabdomyolysis (myoglobin), NSAIDs (perfusion drop), and ethylene glycol (oxalate crystals), all established. Iron overload affects liver renal toxicity rare. Lack of nephrotoxicity distinguishes it, key to ARF differential, unlike proven renal insults.
Question 4 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 5 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.
