Question
what is the waste product in the blood from extensive burns that causes renal failure?
a. myoglobin
b. carbon dioxide
c. platelets
d. sodium particles
Brief Explanations
Myoglobin is released from damaged muscle cells (such as in extensive burns). It can accumulate in the kidneys, block renal tubules, and cause renal failure. Carbon dioxide is a normal metabolic waste removed by the lungs. Platelets are blood - cell fragments involved in clotting. Sodium particles are electrolytes and not the waste product causing renal failure in this context.
