Renal Pathology — MCQs

Minimal change disease is caused by which of the following?

Most unlikely cause of acute tubular necrosis amongst the following is?

A 19-year-old woman presents with swelling of her eyelids, abdomen, and ankles. She has pitting edema in her legs where her socks elastic was. A chest X-ray reveals bilateral pleural effusions, and urine protein electrophoresis shows 4+ proteinuria. A percutaneous kidney biopsy confirms the diagnosis of minimal change nephrotic syndrome. What is the most likely mechanism of soft tissue edema in this patient?

An 8-year-old boy presents with headaches, dizziness, and malaise. He was seen for a severe sore throat 2 weeks ago. Physical examination reveals facial edema. The blood pressure is 180/110 mm Hg. A 24-hour urine collection demonstrates oliguria, and urinalysis shows hematuria. What finding on microscopic urinalysis indicates that hematuria in the patient is caused by a renal process, rather than bleeding from another site in the urinary tract?

Which of the following is NOT true about Alport syndrome?

Which type of glomerulonephritis is characterized by crescent formation?

Which of the following is NOT seen in SLE nephropathy?

Necrotizing papillitis may be seen in all of the following conditions except?

A 15-year-old male presents with hematuria. He has previous diagnoses of deafness and corneal dystrophy. Urinalysis shows 1+ protein, no ketones, no glucose, 1+ blood, and no leukocytes. A renal biopsy reveals tubular epithelial foam cells by light microscopy. By electron microscopy, the glomerular basement membrane shows areas of attenuation, with splitting and lamination of the lamina densa in other thickened areas. What is the most probable diagnosis?

Which carcinoma is most commonly associated with metastasis to the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)?
