Question

question 15 (mandatory) (1 point) what would be your working diagnosis be for a patient whose bloodwork comes back and all of their minerals are elevated? a) kidney issue b) metastasis c) liver issue d) heart issue

Explanation:

The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining mineral - electrolyte balance in the body. When there is a kidney issue, the normal filtration and reabsorption processes can be disrupted, leading to elevated levels of minerals in the blood. Metastasis typically relates to the spread of cancer cells and is not directly associated with overall elevated mineral levels. Liver issues mainly affect functions like protein synthesis, detoxification, and bilirubin metabolism rather than mineral balance. Heart issues are more related to circulation, arrhythmias, and cardiac output, not directly to mineral levels in the blood.

Answer:

A. Kidney issue
