The renal vein of the new kidney is connected to the ......................... in the recipient, which in the donor, drains blood to the inferior vena cava.
  1. External iliac vein

  2. Internal iliac vein

  3. Vena cava

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is option B i.e."Internal iliac vein"
The internal iliac vein drains blood from the visceral organs in the pelvic region. The internal iliac vein may double all these veins and tributaries join together to form the inferior vena cava.

In which of the following area is the incision made to transplant a kidney?

  1. Lower abdomen

  2. Upper abdomen

  3. Aortic vein

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In a standard kidney transplant, the donor kidney is placed in the iliac fossa, which is located in the lower abdomen, rather than in the original anatomical position of the kidneys.

Isografts are not rejected during a kidney transplant because the donor is 

  1. Genetically identical.

  2. Genetically dissimilar.

  3. Belongs to same species.

  4. None of the above.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Isograft is a tissue or organ transplanted from a donor to a recipient who are identical or monozygotic twins. In an isograft transplantation the chances of rejection are near to nil with identical MHCs as they are genetically identical.

So, the correct answer is 'Genetically identical.'

Which of the following cell-surface proteins encoded by HLA is estimated before the transplant before rejection?

  1. Immunoglobulins

  2. MHC

  3. APC

  4. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules are the cell-surface proteins encoded by HLA genes that are primarily responsible for the immune system recognizing the donor organ as foreign.

The transplant of a kidney from a monkey into human is rejected vigorously since it acts as a

  1. Autograft.

  2. Xenograft.

  3. Isograft.

  4. All of the above.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Monkey and humans have evolved into two distinct lineages and are distinct species and therefore have a dissimilar genetic composition. Any transplant between these two organisms is known as a xenograft. Which may be rejected vigorously due to greater than required MHC incompatibility.

So, the correct answer is 'Xenograft'

Which of the following type of donor is rejected during kidney transplant?

  1. Autograft

  2. Isograft

  3. Allograft

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Allograft is a tissue or organ transplanted from a donor to recipient of the same species but is genetically different and therefore may face rejection during kidney transplant due to distinct HLA proteins

So, the correct answer is 'Allograft'

The highest genetic variation is seen in which of the following type of the donor for a kidney transplant?

  1. Autograft

  2. Xenograft

  3. Allograft

  4. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A xenograft involves transplanting tissue between different species, which results in the highest level of genetic variation and the most severe immune rejection response compared to autografts or allografts.

Renal calculi refers to the condition in which 

  1. tumor is present in the renal pelvis

  2. stone is formed in kidney

  3. infection occurs in the pelvis region

  4. urea accumulates in the blood

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Renal calculi or Kidney stones are solid masses made of crystals. Kidney stones usually originate in the kidneys. However, they can develop anywhere along the urinary tract.
So, the correct option is 'stone is formed in kidney'.
