A patient who reported a very painful sore throat 3 weeks ago is now diagnosed with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. When asked, "Why is my urine the color of coffee?", the nurse responds a. "Normally, red blood cells that enter the urine are taken back into the blood, but in glomerulonephritis, the kidney disease you have, they stay in the urine and make it coffee-colored." b. "Your immune system was activated by your sore throat and has caused some damage in your kidneys that allows red blood cells to leak into the fluid that becomes urine and make it coffee-colored." c. "The bacteria that caused your sore throat have traveled to your kidneys and are causing a little damage there that allows some red blood cells to leak into your urine and make it orange-colored." d. "When parts of your kidneys stopped working, your blood kept flowing and broke some of your little blood vessels, so red blood cells are flowing into your urine and making it coffee-colored."

b. "Your immune system was activated by your sore throat and has caused some damage in your kidneys that allows red blood cells to leak into the fluid that becomes urine and make it coffee-colored."

A person who is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome is also experiencing hypoalbuminemia. This happens because a. hepatocyte failure decreases albumin synthesis. b. albumin is excreted in the urine. c. albumin leaks into the interstitial spaces. d. malnutrition is part of nephrotic syndrome.

b. albumin is excreted in the urine.

Scrotal pain in males and labial pain in females may accompany renal pain due to a. associated infections. b. associated dermatomes. c. muscle tension. d. anxiety.

b. associated dermatomes.

The type of glomerulonephritis which is most likely to result in a swift decline in renal function that then progresses to acute kidney injury is a. acute glomerulonephritis. b. crescentic glomerulonephritis. c. post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. d. chronic glomerulonephritis.

b. crescentic glomerulonephritis.

The pain that accompanies kidney disorders is called a. nephritic. b. nephralgia. c. nephrotic. d. nephronitis.
