G post streptococall glomerulo nephritis its the only cause of chronic renal insufficiency also common in girls

Correct me if I am wrong

  #3

it is vesico-ureteric reflux leading to hydronephrosis

  #4

I think J (vesico - ureteral reflux) is the correct answer.

This is the only pathology that could lead to a UNILATERAL nephrectomy because of UNILATERAL hydronephrosis.

All the other choices would affect BOTH kidneys equally.


  #5

yeah it is vescicoureteric reflux
