The following diseases have both renal and systemic manifestations. In determining an overall prognosis, the severity of the renal glomerular lesions is LEAST important in which of the following?
A. amyloidosis.
B. diabetes mellitus.
C. Goodpasture’s syndrome.
D. shock.
E. systemic lupus erythematosus.
The correct answer is D. shock.
Shock is a systemic condition characterized by inadequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. While shock can cause acute kidney injury (AKI), the severity of renal glomerular lesions is not a primary factor in determining the overall prognosis. Instead, the prognosis depends on the underlying cause of shock, the severity of organ dysfunction, and the response to treatment.
