Question

question 10 (mandatory) (10 points)
which of the following best describe signs associated with nephrotic syndrome?
increased protein levels in the blood, proteinurea, anasarca
decreased protein levels in the urine, increased levels of nitrogenous waste in
the blood, dyslipidemia
increased protein in the urine, decreased protein levels in the blood, wide spread
swelling
oliguria, azotemia, hypertension, hematuria

Explanation:

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria (increased protein in the urine), hypoalbuminemia (decreased protein levels in the blood), and edema (wide - spread swelling).

• The first option is incorrect because protein levels in the blood are decreased, not increased.
• The second option is wrong as protein levels in the urine are increased, not decreased.
• The fourth option describes signs more associated with acute kidney injury (oliguria, azotemia) or glomerulonephritis (hematuria, hypertension) rather than nephrotic syndrome.

Answer:

increased protein in the urine, decreased protein levels in the blood, wide spread swelling
