The major sites of damage in the kidney would be the glomeruli.Y.  Microangiopathy will result in a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Z.  Urinalysis would likely show no protein or glucose present in urine.Question 22Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct

Which of these statements is correct in relation to Diabetes?Question 51Answera.Type 2 diabetes is characterised by T-cell and macrophage-mediated destruction of β-cells (insulin-producing cells) in the pancreasb.Most individuals with Type 1 diabetes tend to be lean and older than 50.c.Type 2 diabetes is primarily an auto-immune disease.d.Type 2 diabetes is characterised by a defect of post-receptor signalling (insulin resistance).e.Type 2 diabetes may typically be well managed with insulin injections.

Which of the following statements is/are correct in relation to poorly treated diabetes mellitus?W. Microangiopathy typically results in plasma proteins being retained in blood vessels.X.  Basement membranes of capillaries may thicken, resulting in reduced oxygen delivery to tissue. Y.   The main eye pathology seen is optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve).Z.  Damage in cells that do not require insulin for glucose uptake (e.g. neurons) is mainly due to increased intracellular glucose accumulation.Question 22Select one:a.if only W, X and Y are correctb.if only W and Y are correctc.if only X and Z are correctd.if only Z is correcte.if all are correct
