MCQs on Glomerular Function of Kidney: Biochemistry

The renal system covers the  glomerular function ,  tubular function ,  acid-base homeostasis ,   biochemical assessment ,  and clinical correlations. The glomerulus is mainly involved in the filtration of the blood for the excretion of waste products while retaining most of the proteins.  The renal tubules function in secretion, reabsorption, and excretion of electrolytes, ions, organic acids, and urea. The renal tubules help regulate the osmolality, volume, and pH of the blood.  Glomerular Function of Kidney Multiple Choice Questions 1) The following are the endocrine function of the kidney, Except a) Erythropoietin secretion b) Synthesis of Vit D3 c) Synthesis of Prostaglandins d) Synthesis of Angiotensin 2) Normally, proteins with a molecular weight higher than 65kda are retained in the plasma. Some small size protein is filtered through the kidney by which of the following mechanism? a) Protein channels b) Endocytosis c...

MCQs on Renal Function, Acid-Base Balance & Acid Base Disorders: Biochemistry

The renal system covers the  glomerular function ,  tubular function ,  acid-base homeostasis ,   biochemical assessment ,  and clinical correlations. The glomerulus is mainly involved in the filtration of the blood for the excretion of waste products while retaining most of the proteins.  The renal tubules function in secretion, reabsorption, and excretion of electrolytes, ions, organic acids, and urea. The renal tubules help regulate the osmolality, volume, and pH of the blood.  The physiological function of Kidney & Acid-Base Balance  Multiple Choice Question 1) The normal arterial blood pH is approximately 7.4.  Select the hydrogen ion concentration that corresponds to pH 7.4. ( Hint: Use pH = log 1/[H+] ) a) 35 mEq/L b) 40 mEq/L c) 45 mEq/L d) 50 mEq/L 2) The following are the primary system that regulates acid-base homeostasis.  Which of the following is the most powerful regulatory mechanism? a) Chemical bu...
