Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an example of postrenal acute kidney injury (AKI). Postrenal AKI, as the name suggests, involves an effect 'post' or 'beyond' the kidney, to problems that emerge downstream from the kidney. BPH is one such example of that. Other examples include kidney stones, bladder stones and bladder cancer.

Hmm, Cisplatin sounds like the culprit. Kidneys and chemo, not a good combo. Maybe we should start a support group for overworked oncology kidneys.

Cisplatin, no doubt. It's like a double-edged sword - kills the cancer but can also take down the kidneys. Tricky stuff!
