Hi,

Question 01 :


A 17-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents with the complaint of coughing up blood. He is stabilized, and his hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are determined to be in the safe range. During his hospitalization, he is noted to have persistently elevated blood pressures, and his urinalysis is remarkable for hematuria and proteinuria.


You are suspicious the patient has which of the following?

a- Hemolytic-uremic syndrome
b- Goodpasture syndrome
c- Nephrotic syndrome
d- Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
e- Renal vein thrombosis


Coughing up blood = hemoptysis = hémoptysie.
