In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of race or diabetes status, the initial recommended therapy for hypertension to improve kidney outcomes is: aldosterone antagonists. angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. beta-blockers. calcium channel blockers. Correct Answer-angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. A 48-year-old patient with diabetes, hypertension, and renal insufficiency is taking an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).

Proliferative structural (histologic) descriptor refers to an increase in glomerular cells (e.g., mesangial, endothelial, basement membrane). In the extra capillary space, this forms specific lesions that are termed crescents, which are made of macrophages, fibroblasts, and other cells. These crescent cells accumulate in the Bowman space and represent a rupture of the capsule. Hemophilia An X-linked recessive disorder in which blood fails to clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding if...

Which cells located in the dermis produce collagen (dermal building blocks) and elastin (tensile strength)? Select one: a. Leukotrienes. b. Mast cells. c. Macrophages. d. Fibroblasts. - answer-d. Fibroblasts. Fibroblasts' main function is to make connective tissue and the extracellular matrix, specifically the production of collagen (dermal building blocks) and elastin (tensile strength) and fibronectin, which binds extracellular matrix proteins. A patient has an acute full-thickness ...
