1) membranous nephropathy;
2) IgA nephropathy;
3) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS);
4) minimal change disease;
5) acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis.
The correct answer is:
2) IgA nephropathy;
3) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS);

- A. 1,2,5.
- B. 1,3,4.
- C. 1,4,5.
- D. 2,3,5.
- E. 2,5.
