WorksheetsMCQs: Approach to Proteinuria (MBBS Level)
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 3mins
A 12-year-old asymptomatic boy has 2+ protein on random urine dipstick but trace protein on early morning sample. Most likely diagnosis is:
Minimal change disease
Acute glomerulonephritis
Orthostatic proteinuria
Tubular proteinuria
Normal protein excretion in children is defined as:
<150 mg/day
<100 mg/m^2/day
<300 mg/m^2/day
<40 mg/m^2/hour
Nephrotic-range proteinuria in children is best defined by:
Urine dipstick 2+
Protein >1 g/day
Urine protein–creatinine ratio >2
Serum albumin <3 g/dL
Predominant site of injury in heavy glomerular proteinuria is:
Endothelium
Basement membrane
Podocyte
Mesangium
Major normally excreted urinary protein is:
Albumin
IgG
Tamm-Horsfall protein
Beta-2 microglobulin
Child with edema, 4+ proteinuria, low albumin and bland urine sediment most likely has:
PSGN
Minimal change disease
IgA nephropathy
HUS
Feature distinguishing glomerular from tubular proteinuria:
Edema
Degree of proteinuria
Albumin as main urinary protein
Hypertension
Transient proteinuria is NOT associated with:
Fever
Exercise
Dehydration
Persistent hypertension
Gold standard test for quantifying proteinuria:
Dipstick
Spot PCR
Microalbuminuria
24-hour urine protein
Absence of proteinuria in first morning urine for 3 days confirms:
Transient proteinuria
Nephrotic syndrome
Orthostatic proteinuria
Tubular proteinuria
