Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The remaining kidney would hypertrophy to compensate for the increased workload of the loss of the affected kidney. Compensation for such a situation would not include atrophy or a change in cell structure of the remaining kidney. Renal failure would be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most important factor in renal calculus formation is urine pH, not gender, although calculi form more often in men. Neither body temperature nor serum mineral concentrations are as im-portant as urine pH.
