Question

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

Explanation:

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by damage to the glomeruli, leading to proteinuria (increased protein in urine). This loss of protein (mainly albumin) causes decreased protein levels in the blood (hypoalbuminemia). The decreased plasma oncotic pressure due to low albumin leads to fluid shifting into the interstitial spaces, resulting in widespread swelling (edema).

Answer:

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