prostate/bladder dz

29

Ca Oxalate

38

A

RTA and primary hyperPTH

39
Q

why does nephrotic syndrome create a hypercoag state?

preferential loss of ATIII before anyhting else

40
Q

What virus is menbranous GN associate with?

41

Nephrotic syndromes (like menbranous) because preferential loss of ATIII

42

insulin, B ags

43

Failure to thrive. (Non-anion gap met acid)

47
Q

CXR shows large anterior mediastinal mass, blood work shows elevated AFP and BhCG. MAle patient with cough and chest discomfort. dx?

A

Lots of fluids, n-acetylcystine and or use a non-ionic contrast
