AUBF MODULE 7 AND 8 QUIZ

Which of the following statements about renal diseases is true?

• Glomerular renal diseases are usually immune mediated (caused by antibody).

• Vascular disorders induce renal disease by increasing renal perfusion.

• All structural components of the kidney are equally susceptible to disease.

• Tubulointerstitial renal diseases usually result from antibody-antigen and complement interactions.

In glomerular diseases, morphologic changes in the glomeruli include all of the following except

• cellular proliferation

• erythrocyte congestion

• leukocyte infiltration

• glomerular basement membrane thickening

In glomerular renal disease, glomerular damage results from

• deposition of infectious agents

• a decrease in glomerular perfusion

• changes in glomerular hemodynamics

• toxic substances induced by immune complex formation.

Clinical features that are characteristic of glomerular damage include all of the following except

• edema

• hematuria

• proteinuria

• polyuria

Which of the following disorders frequently occurs following a bacterial infection of the skin or throat?

• Acute glomerulonephritis

• Chronic glomerulonephritis

• Membranous glomerulonephritis

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

Which of the following disorders is characterized by cellular proliferation into Bowman’s space to form cellular “crescents”?

• Chronic glomerulonephritis

• Membranous glomerulonephritis

• Minimal change disease

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

Which of the following disorders is the major cause of the nephrotic syndrome in adults?

• IgA nephropathy

• Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

• Membranous glomerulonephritis

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

Which of the following glomerular diseases is the major cause of the nephrotic syndrome in children?

• IgA nephropathy

• Minimal change disease

• Membranous glomerulonephritis

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

Which of the following statements regarding IgA nephropathy is true?

• It often follows a mucosal infection.

• It is associated with the nephrotic syndrome.

• It is characterized by leukocyte infiltration of the glomeruli.

• It often occurs secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus.

Eighty percent of patients who develop chronic glomerulonephritis previously had some type of glomerular disease. Which of the following disorders is implicated most frequently in the development of chronic glomerulonephritis?

• IgA nephropathy

• Membranous glomerulonephritis

• Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis

• Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
