Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Flat plate: A flat plate of the abdomen (plain X-ray) is safe and does not involve contrast dye.

B. Intravenous pyelogram: This procedure involves the use of contrast dye, which is nephrotoxic and contraindicated in patients with renal insufficiency or diabetes mellitus due to the risk of worsening kidney function.

C. Ultrasonography: Ultrasounds do not involve dye or radiation and are safe for patients with renal insufficiency or diabetes.

D. Renal scan: While renal scans can involve radioactive material, they are generally safer for assessing kidney function in these patients compared to an IV pyelogram.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Hypertension as a result of the increased, concentrated blood volume: Hypertension in chronic kidney disease is due to fluid overload and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, not erythropoietin deficiency.

B. Elevated lipid levels in the bloodstream, contributing to accelerated atherosclerosis: Dyslipidemia in chronic kidney disease is unrelated to erythropoietin deficiency.

C. Anemia as a result of the diminished number of red blood cells being produced: Erythropoietin stimulates red blood cell production; its deficiency in chronic renal failure leads to anemia.

D. Diminished immunologic function with fewer white blood cells: White blood cell production is not directly affected by erythropoietin deficiency.
