Sample Medical GI Disorders MCQs with answers

ACola-coloured urine, oliguria, and hypertension
BEdema that improves throughout the day
CGenital edema
DPitting pedal edema
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Edema that improves throughout the day
Nephrotic syndrome usually presents with edema that is periorbital and more prominent early in the morning and with minimal systemic symptoms. Edema is the most easily identified clinical feature associated with hypoproteinemia. Impaired cardiac function leads to worsening peripheral edema as the day progresses and is associated with exertion and increased activity. Pitting edema is not pathognomonic for any specific underlying etiology. Reference: Nelson textbook of pediatrics, 1 st SA ed., pg. 2521
