a.      Phenyl ketonuria

b.      Tyrosinemia

c.      Maple syrup disease

e A urine osmolarity less than 800 after 12 hrs of water deprivation denotes renal impairment. Urea 9mmol is high normal (n: 2.9-8.2) and is not a very sensitive measure of GFR. Creatinine, although a sensitive measure of GF, 10umol is normal (n: 53-106) Cholesterol and urates are useless in this regard.

a.      AST

b.      T. Bilirubin

c.      Bilirubin in urine

d.      Ester bilirubin

c Cholestatic hyperbilirubinemia is characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and hyperbilirubinuria (only the conjugated fraction appears in urine).

15. Hypernatremia occurs with

a.      Cushing disease

b.      Dehydration

c.      hypothalamic injury

d.      All of the above

d Hypernatremia occurs with: -decrease body Na : due to extrarenal water loss or renal diuresis. -Normal body Na: due to extrarenal loss e.g. hyperthermia or renal loss e.g. DI. -Na retention e.g. steroids or Na intake.

16. Regarding excretion of Na+

a.      Not dependent on aldosterone.

b.      Major share of GF osmolarity with associated ions.

c.      It passively diffuses in proximal tubules.

d.      In distal tubules it is exchanged for K+

e.      Coupled with K+

b Na+ excretion is influenced by mineralocorticoids (mainly aldosterone):↑ reabsorption. The GF is isoosmolar with plasma i.e. Na is the major electrolyte. 90% of Na is actively (not passively) reabsorbed in the PCT. K is excreted from DCT in exchange with Na (not the reverse and not coupled with it).

17. All are inborn error of glycogen metabolism except?

a.      Essential fructosuria

b.      Phenyl ketonuria

c.      Galactosemia

d.      Glycogen storage disease

b Essential fructosuria is due to aldolase B defect leading to accumulation of fructose-1-P Galactosemia (serious) is due to decreased Galactose-6-P uridyl transferase leading to decreased glycogen synthesis. Types of glycogen storage diseases (GSD) include: Type I (VonGierke's): ↓ G6P Type II (Pompe's): ↓ lysosomal maltase Type III (Cori's) : ↓debranching enzyme. Type IV (Anderson's): Absent debranching enzyme Type V (McArdle's): ↓ muscles phosphorylation.

30. All of the following true about Gout except:

a.      is characterized by hyperuricaemia.

b.      is diagnosed by hyperuricaemia

c.      causes scleritis

d.      patient with gout should avoid eating offal

e.      typically affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

bWhile hyperuricaemia is important for the development of gout, a high hyperuricaemia is not diagnostic of gout as hyperuricaemia can exists without gout. A definite diagnosis depends on the finding of uric acid crystals within the affected joint by needle aspiration. Deposit of uric acid in the sclera can give rise to scleritis. Uric acid results from the breakdown of nucleic acid and offal (ie. Liver, kidney and heart) is a rich source of such material.
