Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The kidneys are inadequate in their production of erythropoietin; red cells may be lost in the urine, but it is the lack of erythropoietin that leads to anemia. The anemia is not associated with inadequate iron absorption or red cell destruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is caused by an antigen-antibody complex. Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is not due to swelling of the Bowman space. It is not an in-flammatory process nor is it caused by an accumulation of antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies.
