Answer to Question 1

3
Recent Streptococcus infection can lead to the development of glomerulonephritis. Hypertension and renal failure does not cause glomerulonephritis, but they can result from glomerulonephritis. Asthma is unrelated.

Answer to Question 2

4
Pyelonephritis is an infection of the upper urinary tract. It may involve the ureters, the renal pelvis, and the papillary tips of the collecting ducts. Without treatment, pyelonephritis can cause renal damage. Pyelonephritis is not an infection of the bladder, urethra, or prostate.
