AKD Test

Question 1

Why is kidney disease usually silent until advanced?
There is no pain receptors in kidney.
There is no nerves in kidney.
In general, the symptoms of kidney disease are too mild to be noticed by patients.
Kidney disease is usually associated with hypertension. Therefore, the symptoms of hypertension mask the symptoms of kidney disease.
Kidney can produce hormones to relieve the symptoms.

Answer 1

There is no pain receptors in kidney.

Question 2

Reabsorption of potassium ions is mainly at:
Proximal convoluted tubule
Distal convoluted tubules
Collecting duct
Descending limb of loop of Henle
Ascending limb of loop of Henle

Answer 2

Proximal convoluted tubule

Question 3

How much does the glomerular filtrate become urine in a healthy person?
5%
50%
10%
100%
1%

Answer 3

1%

Question 4

AKI is diagnosed if:
Blood pH decreases to less than 6.5.
None of above.
Rise in SCr by more than 25 μM within 48 hrs.
Rise in SCr by more than 25 μM within 24 hrs
Decrease in urine output to < 0.5 mL/kg/hr for at least 2 hrs

Answer 4

Rise in SCr by more than 25 μM within 48 hrs.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT a cause of prerenal AKI?
NSAIDs
3rd degree burn
Hypovolemia
Decreased cardiac output
Glomerulonephritis

Answer 5

Glomerulonephritis

Question 6

Which of the following is the primary management of AKI?
NSAIDs
Diuretics
Dialyisis
Supportive management
Kidney transplantation

Answer 6

Supportive management

Question 7

Treatment of AKI complications includes:
restore blood calcium level
all of above
balance body fluid level
control blood potassium level
remove toxins via dialysis

Answer 7

all of above

Question 8

Which of the following statements about diuretics is true?
Diuretics work at the distal convoluted tubule.
Potassium-sparing diuretics are less potent than thiazide diuretics.
Osmotic diuretics are mainly used for patients at risk of low potassium level.
Thiazide diuretics are commonly used because they are more potent than loop diuretics.
Diuretics are the major drugs used to treat AKI.

Answer 8

Potassium-sparing diuretics are less potent than thiazide diuretics.

Question 9

Rhabdomyolysis is a cause of AKI as it can induce:
kidney stones
tubular cell necrosis
interstitial nephritis
inflammation of the glomerulus
hypovolemia

Answer 9

tubular cell necrosis

Question 10

Which of the following descriptions about hemodialysis is not true?
It uses a hemodialyzer.
Catheter is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis can remove extra fluid from body.
It is more common than peritoneal dialysis.
Blood is removed from patient’s body to do dialysis.

Answer 10

Catheter is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis.
