Question

in hepatorenal syndrome the kidney biopsy would show:.
focal necrosis of glomerular capillaries
proliferative glomerulonephritis
interstitial nephritis
renal tubular necrosis
no histologic changes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hepatorenal syndrome is a functional renal disorder associated with advanced liver disease. In this condition, the kidneys themselves do not have structural (histologic) damage. So a kidney biopsy in hepatorenal syndrome shows no histologic changes. The other options (focal necrosis of glomerular capillaries, proliferative glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, renal tubular necrosis) represent structural kidney diseases, not the functional nature of hepatorenal syndrome.

Answer:

E. no histologic changes
