KROK 1 2018 – Question 159 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A woman with enteritis accompanied by severe diarrhea presents with loss of water in the extracellular space, increased water content in the cells, and decreasing blood osmolarity. Name this type of water-electrolyte imbalance:
- A. Hyperosmolar hyperhydration
- B. Hypoosmolar hypohydration
- C. Isoosmolar hypohydration
- D. Hyperosmolar hypohydration
- E. Hypoosmolar hyperhydration
Hint
Combine three clues: the direction of the extracellular volume change, the blood osmolarity, and the movement of water into the cells, then match them to the classification of water-electrolyte disturbances.
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.
