What are two of the predisposing factors for nephrolithiasis?
Choose 2 answers.

A. Aneurysm: Uncontrolled hypertension can cause the walls of arteries to weaken and bulge, leading to an aneurysm. Aneurysms can rupture and lead to life-threatening hemorrhage.

B. Fatal intracerebral hemorrhage: Hypertension is a major risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage, where a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to a stroke that can be fatal.

C. Papillary muscle rupture: Papillary muscle rupture is more commonly associated with myocardial infarction rather than hypertension alone.

D. Stroke: Hypertension increases the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes by causing damage to the blood vessels in the brain, leading to blockages or ruptures.

E. Thromboembolism: While hypertension can contribute to conditions that predispose to thromboembolism, it is not a direct cause of thromboembolism itself.

F. Ventricular rupture: Ventricular rupture is typically associated with myocardial infarction, not directly with hypertension.

A. Aortic valve regurgitation: This condition involves the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle, not the left atrium.

B. Mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow back from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole.

C. Mitral valve stenosis involves the narrowing of the mitral valve, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, but does not involve backflow into the left atrium.

D. Aortic valve stenosis is the narrowing of the aortic valve, which restricts blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, not back into the atrium.
