Question

Transcribed Image Text:2. Approximately 1 month later, the young woman notices that her ankles and feet are swollen. She
assumes she has not been drinking enough water. Within a week, she has difficulty buttoning her jeans
and has gained 8 pounds. She immediately begins to restrict her caloric intake drastically and is
dismayed when the number on the scale continues to rise. A few days later, her urine is pink tinged. Her
boyfriend drives her to the emergency department. She reports her history and symptoms she has
noted over the past 6 weeks. She is seen by a nephrologist and begins to undergo multiple tests to reach
the diagnosis of acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis.
Different patterns of urinary sediment may be associated with varying types of glomerulonephritis. The
loss of the negative electrical charge across the glomerular filtration membrane and an increase in
filtration pore size enhances the movement of proteins into the urine. The type of sediment
characterized by the presence of blood and varying degrees of protein in the urine is:
1. Nephritic
2. Urodynamic
3. Polymorphic
4. Crescentic

Examining urinary fluid can reveal much about the functioning of the body, as changes from the normal characteristics or appearance may reflect specific diseases.
