questionnumber="3"
question="A snake is presented with lethargy and anorexia, and physical examination reveals a swelling in the caudal third of the coloemic cavity. You suspect kidney failure. How would you diagnose this?"
choice1="Biochemistry including urea, creatinine and uric acid"
choice3="Kidney biopsy"
choice2="Biochemistry including calcium, phosphorus and uric acid"
choice4="Radiology"
choice5="Urate examination"
correctchoice="3"
feedback1="'''Incorrect''' Urea and creatinine are not useful in the diagnosis of renal disease in snakes. Uric acid is not a sensitive or specific indicator. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
feedback3="'''Correct!''' Diagnosis of kidney failure in reptiles can be a problem for the veterinarian since non-invasive techniques may not be helpful. Kidney biopsy is the definitive diagnosis for renal failure. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
feedback2="'''Incorrect''' Blood evaluation would be a logical step in this case, but levels of plasma biochemistry parameters are not diagnostic until the disease is advanced. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
feedback4="'''Incorrect''' Poor contrast in the caudal abdomen may hamper detection of nephromegaly and so radiology is not considered a definitive diagnostic tool for kidney failure [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|Wikivet Article: Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Urinalysis is not useful in snakes since urine is modified in the distal colon and cloaca. [[Lizard and Snake Renal Disease|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Renal Disease]]."
