Regardless of the cause, chronic kidney disease results in progressive permanent loss of nephrons and glomerular filtration, and renal:
A) Tubule dysplasia
B) Vascular pressure
C) Endocrine functions
D) Hypophosphatemia
Ans: C
Feedback:
Chronic kidney disease results in loss of nephrons, tubule, and endocrine functions such as erythropoietin production. Systemic and renal hypertension is commonly an early manifestation of chronic kidney disease, caused by resistance to blood flow through the constricted renal vessels. Tubule hypertrophy is a compensatory response for those destroyed—when the few remaining nephrons are destroyed, renal failure is apparent. Phosphate accumulates in the blood; since it is inversely related to calcium, the levels of which remain chronically low.
