Document Summary

Choose the most appropriate answer for each question. This exam represents 20% of the final mark for this course. With the following treatment groups below making up your study, you plan to. In humans, acetaminophen is the number one cause of drug-induced liver injury. Administer acetaminophen (questions 42-44 are based on the following scenario) leading to acute liver failure. This acute renal failure is largely caused by the accumulation of hepatotoxic reactive oxygen species (ros) such as nitric oxide. 7% of acute renal failures occur at acetaminophen therapeutic doses, the identification of protein biomarkers that can predict individuals at risk of acute renal failure prior to acetaminophen treatment would greatly improve safe use of this anti-inflammatory drug. Given this knowledge, imagine that you are a graduate student interested in using a pig model to study risk factors that contribute to acute liver failure caused by acetaminophen.
