65) ANSWER
B) End-stage
renal failure
Explanation
Uremia is
a syndrome, or group of symptoms, associated with end-stage renal disease. The
normal function of the kidney is altered, resulting in various metabolic and
systemic effects including fluid and electrolyte disturbances. Pyelonephritis
(inflammation of the kidney and renal pelvis) and cystitis (inflammation of the
urinary bladder) do not lead to uremia. Polycystic kidney disease is a
hereditary disease characterized by kidney enlargement and cyst formation.
Recognize that options 3 and 4 are treatable and not associated with uremia.
Polycystic kidney disease is also not a uremic condition.
