How to break down a USMLE Step 1 question, from MedSmarter with Dr. Jason Colip.

The attached video is the breakdown of a question regarding Renal.  

A 25-year-old man is beginning chemotherapy for lukemia when he develops severe intermittent left flank pain that later migrate to the pelvis.  Three days later, the patient's creatinine level rises and he is diagnosed with acute renal failure.  His FENa (Fractional Excretion of Sodium) is less than 4% with a urine osmolality of  greater than 350 mOsm/kg. Blood and urine cultures are negative for bacteria and eosinophilia. An abdominal radiograph fails to locate any pathology. Which of the following is the most likely location of the lesion causing this patient’s renal failure?

A. Urethra
B. Spleen
C. Kidney tubules
D. Interstitium of the kidney
E. Glomeruli
