Question
three key features of the nephrotic syndrome are:
cellular crescents, linear igg deposits, and pulmonary hemorrhage
pericarditis, cerebritis, and elevated antinuclear antibodies
hyperkalemia, hypokaluria, nephrolithiasis
proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema
azotemia, hypertension, and rbc casts
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by the loss of large amounts of protein in the urine (proteinuria), low levels of albumin in the blood (hypoalbuminemia), and swelling (edema) due to fluid retention. The other options describe features of different conditions: cellular crescents etc. are related to glomerulonephritis, pericarditis/cerebritis with ANA to lupus, hyperkalemia/hypokaluria/nephrolithiasis to renal tubular issues, and azotemia/hypertension/RBC casts to nephritic syndrome.
