______________ is the inflammation of glomerulus in kidneys.

• A. Glomerulonephritis
• B. Uremia
• C. Ketonuria
• D. Dysuria

Answer 1

The correct option is A Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is the condition in which glomerulus of nephrons is damaged due to inflammation. Inflammation is the response by the immune system against any irritant. Glomerulonephritis may occur due to various reasons such as attack of the immune system on healthy kidney cells, HIV infections, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Uremia is the accumulation of urea in blood due to malfunctioning of kidneys. Uremia can lead to fluid, electrolyte and hormonal imbalances in the body. Patients having uremia can undergo hemodialysis to remove urea from blood.
Ketonuria is the presence of ketone bodies in urine. Generally ketones (end products of fatty acid metabolism) are completely broken down in the liver. But during ketonuria, large amounts of ketone bodies are present in urine.
Dysuria is the pain or discomfort caused during urinating. Urinary tract infections, tumors, kidney stones, vaginitis are some of the causes for dysuria.
