ISP Module 7 Self-Test
Name
Changes in renal function with normal aging include:
A.
increase in renal blood flow.
B.
decrease in glomerular filtration rate.
C.
increase in maximal urinary concentration.
D.
increased rate of response to an acid load.
E.
increase in total body water.
Serum creatinine concentration does not change with age because of a parallel decrease in:
A.
renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate
B.
sodium and potassium metabolism
C.
glomerular filtration rate and tubular transport
D.
renal mass and skeletal muscle mass
E.
none of the above are true
With aging, the transport function of the kidney decreases because of:
A.
specific age-related defects in the renal transporters
B.
decreased renal tubular mass and thus number of renal transporters
C.
decreased renal blood flow
D.
decreased glomerular filtration rate
E.
decreased total body water
