Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Serum creatinine levels have not been found to be an effective predictor marker for worsening ADPKD, but urine albumin excretion (UAE) has been determined a reliable predictor, as have increased electrolytes and hematuria.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Although CO2 is a gas and not an acid, a small percentage of the gas combines with water to form H2CO3. The reaction that generates H2CO3 from CO2 and water is catalyzed by an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase.
