What is Wegener's granulomatosis associated with?

  1. destructive inflammation in lung, kidney, and URT

  2. a type of congenital heart defect

  3. a skin disorder

  4. an eye disease

The correct answer is: destructive inflammation in lung, kidney, and URT

Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by destructive inflammation in the lungs, kidneys, and upper respiratory tract (URT). This condition primarily affects these organs and tissues, leading to symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, blood in the urine, and sinusitis. The hallmark of Wegener's granulomatosis is the formation of granulomas, which are inflammatory nodules that can damage surrounding tissues. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the association of Wegener's granulomatosis with destructive inflammation in the lung, kidney, and URT. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as Wegener's granulomatosis is not associated with a congenital heart defect, a skin disorder, or an eye disease.
