Chronic Renal Failure ( 54 Questions)

Question 10 :
A client with chronic renal failure is at risk of developing metabolic bone disease. Which mineral and hormone imbalance is primarily responsible for this condition?


Correct Answer: A

A) Correct. Metabolic bone disease, such as renal osteodystrophy, is primarily due to the imbalances of calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in chronic renal failure. Kidney dysfunction can lead to impaired calcium regulation and increased PTH secretion.

B) Incorrect. Hypokalemia and decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are not typically associated with metabolic bone disease in chronic renal failure.

C) Incorrect. Hypernatremia and elevated insulin levels are not directly related to metabolic bone disease.

D) Incorrect. Hypermagnesemia and decreased cortisol production are not the primary factors contributing to metabolic bone disease in chronic renal failure.
