KROK 1 2015 – Question 72 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Acute renal impairment caused death of a patient with hemorrhage. Autopsy revealed enlarged kidneys with broad pale-pink cortical layer expressively demarcated from dark-red renal pyramids. Macroscopic examination revealed lack of epithelial nuclei of convoluted tubules, tubulorrhexis, phlebostasis. The cell nuclei of choroid glomus and straight tubules were present. What pathology is it?
- A. Pyelonephritis
- B. Glomerulonephritis
- C. Nephrosis
- D. Necronephrosis
- E. Infarction
Hint
Think about which portions of the nephron have lost their nuclei and which are preserved, and what kind of insult after haemorrhage spares the glomeruli.
