Which condition matches the following description? Increases ACE, constriction of the efferent arteriole, higher pressure in the nephron, proteins leak out, water follows the proteins, increased urine output occurs until the glomeruli are so damaged that they don’t work at all which causes decreased filtration, decreased output, and end-stage renal disease.
Diabetes mellitus

Balance of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood and triggering parathyroid hormone.

Which of the following is not a function of the JG apparatus?
Blood pressure
______ regulation in the kidney causes the afferent arterioles to constrict during exercise, stress, or fight/flight conditions to decrease urine production and increase the blood pressure.
Neural
Where is a transplanted kidney positioned?
Anterior to the ilium
Which condition matches the following description? Increased pressure in the glomeruli, proteins leak out, water follows the proteins, increased urine output occurs until the glomeruli are so damaged that they don’t work at all which causes decreased filtration, decreased output, and end-stage renal disease.
Hypertension
Which condition matches the following description? Inflammation of the glomeruli. proteins leak out, water follows the proteins, increased urine output occurs until the glomeruli are so damaged that they don’t work at all which causes decreased filtration, decreased output, and end-stage renal diesase.
SLE/Lupus
Which of the following statements explains the response of the kidney to the low oxygen levels in the blood?
EPO, produced by the PCT in adults, stimulates RBCs so there are more cells to carry oxygen in which, in turn raises the blood oxygen levels.
What characteristic can you expect in urine during an infection?
Cloudy
How does an enlarged prostate affect the urinary system>
It compresses the urethra and inferior aspect of the bladder causing hesitation and decreased flow.
