Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
All options listed are those of nephrotic syndrome with the exception of hyperalbuminemia. The nephrotic child has hypoalbuminemia, as most of the protein has been spilled in the urine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Children who have only one kidney should avoid contact sports to prevent injury to that remaining organ.
