4. Myasthenia gravis

• A. 1, 2
• B. 2, 4
• C. None of these
• D. 4 only

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 2, 4

• (i) Renal calculi are kidney stones, directly related to the kidneys.

• (iii) Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, making it a direct kidney-related disorder.

• (ii) Gout is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid, primarily affecting joints, though severe gout can impact kidney function indirectly, it's not primarily a kidney disease.

• (iv) Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, with no direct relation to kidney function.

• Therefore, gout and myasthenia gravis are the disorders not primarily related to the kidney.
