Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis ( 35 Questions)

Question 7 :
A nurse is discussing the role of the immune system in glomerulonephritis with a client. Which immune response is commonly associated with the development of immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis?


Correct Answer: B

A) Incorrect. Cell-mediated immunity is not the primary immune response associated with immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis.

B) Correct. Immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis typically involves the formation of immune complexes (antigen-antibody complexes) that deposit in the glomeruli and trigger an inflammatory response.

C) Incorrect. Innate immunity is a nonspecific defense mechanism and is not the primary immune response involved in glomerulonephritis.

D) Incorrect. Tolerance induction is a process by which the immune system recognizes self-antigens and does not directly relate to the development of glomerulonephritis.
