    Study Notes

    Question 22

    • Regarding manifestations in patients with renal insufficiency, the most common is dental erosion
    • Other options like esophageal ulcers, oral ulcers, and oral lesions are not as frequent

    Question 23

    • Regarding conditions that increase the risk of diabetes mellitus, the most important one is a history of gestational diabetes
    • Other options like benign prostatic hyperplasia, hypertension, and hyperthyroidism are not as significant risk factors

    Question 24

    • For evaluating diabetes in recent patients, the crucial blood test is HbA1c
    • Other options like fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, and complete blood count are not the main tests to evaluate the condition

    Question 25

    • Regarding the mechanism for diabetic neuropathy, the main cause is the alteration of the permeability of blood vessels, which triggers the formation of lesions
    • Other options are less directly related to the pathophysiology

    Question 27

    • Regarding the changes caused by prolonged corticosteroid use, the most relevant is adrenal atrophy
    • Other options are not directly associated with prolonged corticosteroid use
