Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
HUS is the most common cause of acute renal failure in children. Glomerulonephritis can lead to renal failure, but it is not the most common. While either obstruction or nephrotic syndrome could contribute to renal failure, neither is not the most common cause.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
VUR is the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the kidney or ureters, or both.
The condition is ureteral, not urethral. It results in reflux, not influx. Reflux could lead to pyelo-nephritis, not hydronephrosis.
