The body's response to gluten causes the intestine to become more porous and hang on to more of the fat-soluble vitamins, leading to vitamin toxicity."

"The body's response to gluten causes damage to the mucosal cells in the intestines leading to absorption problems

"The body's response to consumption of anything containing gluten is to create special cells called villi, which leads to more diarrhea

"The body's response to gluten causes damage to the mucosal cells, leading to malabsorption of water and hard, constipated stools

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. "The body's response to gluten causes the intestine to become more porous and hang on to more of the fat-soluble vitamins, leading to vitamin toxicity." This answer is not accurate. The issue in celiac disease is malabsorption, not vitamin toxicity.

B. "The body's response to gluten causes damage to the mucosal cells in the intestines leading to absorption problems."

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) leads to damage of the mucosal cells in the small intestine. This damage, in turn, can lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and other important components of the diet. It is important for individuals with celiac disease to avoid gluten-containing foods to prevent ongoing damage to the intestinal mucosa and improve nutrient absorption.

C. "The body's response to consumption of anything containing gluten is to create special cells called villi, which leads to more diarrhea." This statement is not accurate. Celiac disease leads to damage to the villi (finger-like projections) in the small intestine, not the creation of special cells. It can lead to diarrhea but is not the primary cause.

D. "The body's response to gluten causes damage to the mucosal cells, leading to malabsorption of water and hard, constipated stools." This response is not accurate. Celiac disease is more commonly associated with diarrhea and malabsorption, not constipation and malabsorption of water.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Thrombocytopenia: Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, and it is not a typical feature of iron-deficiency anemia.

B. Increased Total Iron-binding Capacity: In iron-deficiency anemia, the Total Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC) is typically increased as the body attempts to compensate for the low iron levels by increasing its capacity to bind and transport iron.

C. Decreased Folate Levels: While iron-deficiency anemia and folate-deficiency anemia are both forms of anemia, decreased folate levels are more characteristic of folate-deficiency anemia, which is a separate condition.

D. Microcytic Red Blood Cells.

Iron-deficiency anemia is characterized by a decrease in the body's iron stores, which in turn affects the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells. This results in the formation of microcytic (smaller than normal) red blood cells. These smaller red blood cells are a typical finding in iron-deficiency anemia.

A. Increased ability of tissue to retain fluid B. Reduced blood pressure C. Increased diuresis and decreased protein loss in urine D. Decreased protein severs in serum

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Options A (increased ability of tissue to retain fluid) and B (reduced blood pressure) are not typical signs of improvement in Nephrotic Syndrome. The primary focus is on reducing protein loss and alleviating edema.

Option C. Increased diuresis and decreased protein loss in urine.

Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized by increased urinary protein loss, resulting in hypoalbuminemia, edema, and other symptoms. Improvement in Nephrotic Syndrome is typically indicated by:

Increased diuresis: An increase in urine output suggests that the child is excreting excess fluid, which can help reduce edema (swelling).

Decreased protein loss in urine: A reduction in proteinuria (loss of protein in the urine) is a positive sign, as it indicates that the damaged kidney glomeruli are functioning more effectively in retaining protein.

Option D (decreased protein levels in serum) is also not a clear sign of improvement. While it may be related to reduced protein loss in urine, it does not directly reflect the overall improvement of the condition. Monitoring protein levels in the urine (proteinuria) is a more specific indicator of Nephrotic Syndrome management.
