Dear classmates, Pasensya na po sa samplex na ‘to. Less than half nagbigay. Dr. Dimacali promised before to upload the exam in OSIRIS but she hasn’t done so yet. Yaw naman namin kulitin, halata nay yun di ba. Neway, we tried to make this as informative as possible, despite the kinks. 

d. pelrineal laceration C. nasa trans ito ha… 16. Which among the following are infectious stones? a.cystine C b.uric acid c.struvite d.calcium oxalate C. Struvite are non-calcium caliculi made up of magnesium, ammonium and phosphate. They are infection stones associated with Proteus, Pseudomonas, Providencia, Klebsiella, Staphylococci and Mycoplasma (trans). 25. The following explains voiding dysfunction with failure to empty a. b. c. injury to the pudendal nerve during injury d. failure of sphincter muscles to open due to pelvic nerve injury wala ata sa pilian yung sagot.. The pelvic nerve primarily innervates the detrusor muscle in the bladder wall (not the sphincter; so hindi na puwede yung D) The pudendal nerve provides innervation to the external urethral sphincter (off during voiding so hindi rin puwede C). Injury to spinal cord segments S1-3 will cause (1) Damage to the pudendal nerve causes inability of the external urethral sphincter to contract → unable to prevent constant urine leakage. (2)The pelvic nerve may also be affected preventing active contraction of the bladder. Therefore, while a small amount of urine may accumulate in the bladder, the animal will be constantly dribbling urine.

What can cause failure to empty? Suppressed pons, spinal cord injury, injured pelvic nerve, scarred/weak detrusor (hypertrophy causing ischemia or collagen deposition), obstruction of urethral lumen (big prostate) 26. Which is critical in the development of prune belly syndrome? a. deficient abdominal muscles A b. ureteral obstruction c. oligohydramnios d. urethral atresia A.

Dr. Anacleto also said twas the muscles

28. Abdominal mass in a newborn male is most likely due to: a. Wilm’s tumor C b. Renal cell CA c. hydronephrosis d. neuroblastoma C. From Nelson: “In the newborn, a palpable abdominal mass is most commonly a hydronephrotic or multicystic dysplastic kidney.” – since the latter is not among the choices, hydronephrosis is the best answer. Hydronephrosis is a consequence of congenital urinary tract obstruction and is its most common clinical manifestation.

30. 18 months boy with 1st UTI episode: best imaging study: a. abdominal x-ray D b. IVP c. DTPA scan d. voiding cystourethrogram D. Nelson: A voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is also indicated in all children younger than 5 years with a UTI, any child with a febrile UTI, school-aged girls who have had two or more UTIs, and any male with a UTI.

34. HPN in children a. HPN varies in age group b. Hypertensive urgency should be treated A immediately c. HPN defined as above 85Th percentile for age  > 95th percentile

d. From Nelson: Blood pressure varies with the age of the child and is closely related to height and weight. Significant increases occur during adolescence, and there are many temporary variations before the more stable levels of adult life are attained.

35. 6 y.o. male child sought consult at the ER for headache and vomiting. You suspect hypertension. What are the precautions you will consider in determining the BP to get a reliable determination? a. choose an appropriate cuff D b. have the child seated in a comfortable position c. take the BP after a rest of 3-5mins d. AOTA From Nelson: Accurate measurement of blood pressure requires careful attention to the comfort of the patient, and is highly dependent on the proper use of the equipment… Careful attention to the cuff size is necessary to avoid overdiagnosis… The cuff should completely encircle the upper arm to ensure uniform compression; the inflatable bladder should cover at least two thirds of the length of the upper arm and three quarters of its circumference.

BUN and Crea levels, urine culture, 24h collection for protein and creatine d. urinalysis, urine culture, 24h urine collection for protein and creatine e. CBC, electrolyte concentration, BUN and Crea levels, DMSA A. From Nelson: Screening tests should include a complete blood count, urinalysis, and determination of serum electrolyte, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and uric acid levels.

39. The single most important differential diagnosis of post-infectious GN due to group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus among primary glomerulonephritis is a. membranous nephropathy B b. IgA nephropathy c. thin basement membrane disease d. FSGN B. Both Post-Strep GN and IgA nephropathy present with acute nephritic syndrome (hematuria, hypertension, proteinuria, oliguria).

FSGN and membranous nephropathy commonly present with nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia).

b. decreased capillary oncotic pressure due to protein loss c. lymphatic obstruction d. increased capillary permeability A. Extracellular fluid volume expansion, edema, and hypertension developd because of impaired GFR and enhanced tubular reabsorption of salt and water (Clinical Presentations of Acute Nephritic Syndrome and Rapidly Progressive Glomwrulonephritis, Harrison’s 16th Ed, Vol. 2, p.1679.)

50. The patient urine protein creatinine ratio confirms the diagnosis of a. acute nephritis b. nephritic syndrome c. tubulo interstitial disease d. membranous nephropathy Answer: No case. Please just read on the aforementioned disease entities

52. Start of empiric steroid therapy: how much mg/day prednisone should he be started on? a. 10 b. 25 c. 50 d. 60 Answer: Again, no case! Use of prednisone in kidney disease, however, is discussed with regards to minimal change disease, which is higly responsive to steroids, with excellent prognosis.Children: 60mg/m2 of body surface area daily for 4 weeks, followed by 40mg/m2 on alternate days for an additional 4 weeks Adults: 1-1.5mg/kg body weight/day/4 weeks, followed by 1mg/kg/day on alternate days for an additional 4 weeks (P. 1685, Harrisons 16th Ed, Vol 2)

d. primary hyperaldosteronism We’re not sure but abdominal bruits make the etiology vascular and the presence of a high bp makes the patient hypertensive. In the absece of these findings, the cause will be primary.

Which of the following is true regarding this patient? a. total body K is low b. the serum K is low but the intracellular K is B increased c. The patient was given spironolactone d. The beta blocker that the patient was taking for his hypertension caused the low serum K B. Metabolic acidosis with ↓ urine K(20) has a renal etiology and may suffer from renal tubular acidosis, DKA glucose infusion, K losing diuretics (thiazides or acetazolamide) Spironolactone is K sparing.

Beta agonists may cause hypokalemia thru transcellular shifts (K goes intracellular)
