Question

apply medical terminology for each specialty 5 of 5
which of the following causes intra - renal acute renal failure?
damage to nephrons
damage to glomerulus
hypertension
hypotension

Explanation:

Intra - renal acute renal failure is caused by damage within the kidney itself. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney. Damage to nephrons (which include the glomerulus as part of the nephron structure) directly impairs kidney function. Hypertension and hypotension are more likely to be pre - renal (if related to blood flow issues before the kidney) or can have long - term effects but are not the direct intra - renal cause in the context of acute renal failure as described here. Since the glomerulus is part of the nephron, damage to nephrons is a more comprehensive and accurate cause for intra - renal acute renal failure.

Answer:

damage to nephrons
