If red blood cells are found in urine, this indicates a problem with ____
A
The basement membrane in the glomerulus
B
The proximal convoluted tubule
C
The loop of Henle
D
The collecting duct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. The exact reason for this thickening is not known. The thickened glomerular membrane does not work normally. As a result, large amounts of protein are lost in the urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glomeruli help the body get rid of harmful substances. Glomerulonephritis may be caused by problems with the body’s immune system. Often, the exact cause of this condition is unknown. Damage to the glomeruli causes blood and protein to be lost in the urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerular diseases damage the glomeruli, letting protein and sometimes red blood cells leak into the urine. Sometimes a glomerular disease also interferes with the clearance of waste products by the kidney, so they begin to build up in the blood.
