36. A 68-year-old man experiences increasing urinary frequency and difficulty starting and stopping his flow of urine. Examination of tissue obtained on biopsy of the enlarged prostate confirms benign prostatic hyperplasia. Which of the following is the most likely complication of his basic disease state?
A Acute bacterial pyelonephritis
B Bacteremia
C Bacterial cystitis
D Chronic renal failure
E Malignant transformation

Can't decide between A and C

the cystitis will come before the pyeolo, and the pyelo will lead to the renal failure.. so that's why i too chose C

it asks what's the most likely complication - which means it hasn't occured yet. So there would be no fever. also - chronic renal failure is not most likely. that would happen after a sequelae of events. most people with BPH are not having chronic renal failure.
