The pathophysiology of edema involves the following forces
hydrostatic pressure
oncotic pressure
renin angiotensin aldosterone (RAA) system
all the above
The pathophysiology of generalised edema in liver failure is
Hypoalbuminemia
esophageal varices
cholestasis
cirrhosis of the liver
The cause for generalised edema in nephrotic syndrome is
Proteinuria
Hypoalbuminemia
Hypertension
hypercholesterolaemia
Increased hydrostatic pressure is the aetiology of generalised edema in
acute renal failure
heart failure
protein malnutirion
liver failure
The glomerular pathology that leads to Nephrotic syndrome is
reduced perfusion pressure in the arterioles
damage to the basement membrane podocytes
mesangial inflammation
increased intraglomerular pressure
All the following treatment measures are used in the management of generalised edema except for
fluid restriction
low salt diet
Diuretics
Immunosupressants
Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis is common in this age group
0-2 years
2-5 years
6-7 years
15-17 years
All these are the complications of Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis except for
acute pulmonary edema
hypertensive encephalopathy
acute renal failure
Hypercholesterolemia
The acute renal failure in Post Streptoccal GN is due to
rapidly reducing glomerular filtration rate
damage to the basement membrane
activation of renin angiotensin system
Edema
Treatment of Acute Post Strep GN includes all these except
Antihypertensive
Diuretics
prednisolone
Antibiotics
The antibiotics of choice in the eradication of the streptococcus in Post Streptococcus GN is
Aminoglycoside
Penicillin
Macrolides
cephalosporin
The following statements are true about Post Streptococcus GN except
infection in the throat and skin could be the cause
in 95% of the cases it is a self limiting disease
commonly it causes generalised edema, massive proteinuria and hypercholesterolemia
causes raised JVP
