What is a clinical sign of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis?

Choice A rationale

Cushing syndrome is caused by chronic high blood levels of cortisol or related corticosteroids.

Choice B rationale

Addison disease is a disorder in which the adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones.

Choice C rationale

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, not a benign tumor of the adrenal medulla.

Choice D rationale

Pheochromocytoma is a rare, usually noncancerous (benign) tumor that develops in cells in the center of an adrenal gland. This tumor can release hormones that can cause a persistent or episodic increase in blood pressure.

Choice A rationale

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels can damage nerves throughout the body, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or pain.

Choice B rationale

Delayed wound healing is another common complication of diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels can affect blood circulation and the body’s ability to heal, leading to slower wound healing.

Choice C rationale

Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is not typically a complication of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is more commonly associated with high blood pressure.

Choice D rationale

Retinopathy, or damage to the blood vessels in the retina, is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems.

Choice E rationale

Improved kidney functioning is not a complication of diabetes mellitus. In fact, diabetes can lead to kidney damage or kidney disease, not improved kidney functioning.
