question 44

______ is the accumulation of nitrogenous waste in the bloodstream.

a azotemia

b calculus

c micturition

d renal colic

Explanation:

• Azotemia: It is indeed the accumulation of nitrogenous waste (such as urea, creatinine) in the bloodstream.
• Calculus: Refers to a stone (e.g., kidney stone), not the accumulation of nitrogenous waste.
• Micturition: Is the process of urination, not related to nitrogenous waste accumulation in blood.
• Renal colic: Is a type of pain (usually due to kidney stone obstruction), not about nitrogenous waste in blood.

Answer:

A. Azotemia
