KROK 1 2011 – Question 38 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A 36-year-old female patient has a history of collagen disease. Urine analysis is likely to reveal an increased concentration of the following metabolite:
- A. Urea
- B. Creatinine
- C. Urobilinogen
- D. Oxyproline
- E. Indican
Hint
Think about what the breakdown of a structural protein releases, and which of the listed urinary substances is characteristic of that protein rather than of protein or muscle metabolism in general.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
