A 73-year-old man presents to his family physician with complaints of recent urinary hesitation and is eventually diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Which of the following clinical consequences would his care provider expect prior to the resolution of his health problem?
A)
Hydroureter and pain
B)
Development of renal calculi and renal cysts
C)
Unilateral hydronephrosis and pain
D)
Development of glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome
Ans:
A
Feedback:
Pain and the distention of the distal ureter would be expected manifestations of BPH. Renal calculi, cysts, glomerulonephritis, and nephrotic syndrome are unlikely to develop consequentially, and unilateral hydronephrosis is unlikely, given that the obstruction is below the level of the ureterovesical junction.
