An adolescent who has acute glomerulonephritis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of an adolescent who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. In acute glomerulonephritis, there is impaired kidney function leading to decreased glomerular filtration rate. This results in the retention of waste products, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN), leading to elevated levels.
Therefore, a BUN level of 50 mg/dL would be expected.
Choice B is incorrect because proteinuria is a common finding in glomerulonephritis due to damaged glomerular filtration barrier.
Choice C is incorrect as serum potassium levels may be elevated due to decreased kidney function in glomerulonephritis.
Choice D is incorrect because serum phosphorus levels may be elevated in acute glomerulonephritis due to impaired kidney function.
