Question 1

In immunoglobulin G (IgG) nephropathies such as glomerulonephritis, IgG is deposited in which location?

◦ Juxtamedullary nephrons
◦ Glomerulus basement membranes
◦ Mesangium of the glomerular capillaries
◦ Parietal epithelium

Question 2

What is the pathophysiologic process responsible for the autoimmune disorder of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)?

◦ Immunoglobulin A (IgA) coats erythrocytes that are destroyed by the spleen, and remnants are excreted through the kidneys.
◦ Verotoxin from Escherichia coli is absorbed from the intestines and damages erythrocytes and endothelial cells.
◦ Endotoxins from E. coli block the erythropoietin produced by the kidneys, which reduces the number of erythrocytes produced by the bone marrow.
◦ Failure of the nephron to filter urea increases the blood urea nitrogen, which binds to erythrocytes that are subsequently destroyed by the spleen.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
