Disease most related to (often co-occurring with) kidney disease?

  1. Hypertension and diabetes
  2. Glomerulonephritis and diabetes
  3. Hypertension and kidney stones
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Glomerulonephritis and diabetes

  • A. While hypertension and diabetes are both risk factors for kidney disease, the answer specifically pairing a kidney-related pathology (glomerulonephritis) with diabetes is the more directly correlated pairing per this question's intent.
  • B. Correct, per the source material — diabetes mellitus and glomerulonephritis are highlighted as conditions most directly related to kidney disease.
  • C. Kidney stones are a separate urologic condition not as directly tied to chronic kidney disease progression as glomerulonephritis/diabetes.
