Show Suggested Answer Hide 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.

My money's on Cisplatin too. Gotta watch out for those kidneys when using the heavy hitters.

I'm not sure, but I think it could be A) Cyclophosphamide as well.

Cisplatin is the obvious choice here. Renal toxicity is a well-known side effect of this chemotherapy drug.
