  1. Diabetes mellitus

  2. Diabetes insipidus

  3. Glycosuria

  4. Nephrogenic diabetes

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Diabetes insipidus is a condition caused by the deficiency of antidiuretic hormone ADH in the body. ADH(Antidiuretic hormone) helps the kidneys keep the correct amount of water in the body. Diabetes insipidus is marked by intense thirst and heavy urination. Thus the genetic deficiency of ADH-receptor leads to Diabetes insipidus i.e even if ADH is present in the body it cannot show its action due to the absence of ADH-receptor hence leads to Diabetes insipidus.
So, the correct answer is 'Diabetes insipidus'.

Immuno-suppressant drugs are prescribed if a patient is suffering from an autoimmune disorder or has undergone an organ transplant like a liver, heart or kidney. This is done to prevent the organ from being damaged by the immune system of the recipient. However, as the immune system is being suppressed the patient/recipient may be prone to infections, sepsis or other pathological conditions.

So, the correct answer is 'Immunosuppressant'

  1. Superior vena cava.

  2. External iliac.

  3. Inferior aorta.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During a kidney transplant usually the failed kidney is not removed instead the transplanted kidney is placed in the iliac fossa (cavity) Conventionally, the kidney receives blood from the renal artery and the renal vein drains blood into the inferior vena cava. However, since the kidney is placed in the iliac fossa that receives blood from the external iliac artery the transplanted kidney is connected to the external iliac artery and accordingly to the external iliac vein. This is also done to make the further surgeries, if required to be less complicated. So, the correct answer is 'External iliac'
