Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A patient is experiencing decreased urination, kidney pain, general swelling and ammonia-scented breath. They are referred to a nephrologist and told they need to be placed on the transplant list. This patient is most likely in the process of ____

A	Lupus Nephritis
B	Kidney Stones
C	Wilms Tumor
D	Renal Failure

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -End-stage renal failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is the final, permanent stage of chronic kidney disease, where kidney function has declined to the point that the kidneys can no longer function on their own.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most people on dialysis; however, make little to no urine, because their kidneys are no longer properly removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. Without urination, fluid builds up in the body and can cause swelling, shortness of breath and/or weight gain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydronephrosis is a condition where one or both kidneys become stretched and swollen as the result of a build-up of urine inside them. It can affect people of any age and is sometimes spotted in unborn babies during routine pregnancy ultrasound scans. This is known as antenatal hydronephrosis.
