Answer:

The correct answer would be - renal failure, kidney stones, uric acid neuropathy and other complications.

Explanation:

The symptoms of H.J include decreased urine output, flank pain, peripheral edema. H.J. is at risk for acute kidney injury which can result in renal failure due to elevated levels of uric acid, BUN, and creatinine.

Uric acid begins to precipitate in the kidneys and leads to conditions such as uric acid nephropathy and subsequent kidney injury. ECG shows in such patients as elevated heart rate due to hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia.

- Muscle cramps, Diarrhea, Nausea, and vomiting

- Renal failure due to kidney stones because of high uric acid.

1. Why is the moon’s gravity weaker than Earth’s gravity?
vfiekz [6]

1 The Earth's Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth and a person weighs less on the Moon

2 The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled the force of gravity between the objects is doubled increases, the force of gravity decreases.

3 If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled.  If the separation distance between any two objects is tripled (increased by a factor of 3), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 9 (3 raised to the second power).
