As a kid who grew up participating in Scholar Bowl, and who religiously turned on the TV at 3:30 pm to watch Alex Trebek, nothing is better than medical jeopardy. This year’s #KidneyWk 2018 finals competition pitted the Arkansas Aquaporins @UAMSNeph against the Renal Rockstars @BWHKidney/@MGHKidneys. Note: Semifinals coverage here.

The rules were the same as Jeopardy, minus the daily doubles. There was a single, double, and final jeopardy round, and teams were penalized for incorrect responses. The categories for the single and double Jeopardy round were:

Congrats to @MGHKidneys/@BWHKidney Renal Rockstars for winning this year’s FIT Bowl challenge!

Test your own knowledge with a sampling of questions from these diverse categories:

17. This serum electrolyte disorder is seen in individuals with a mutation in claudin-16.
18. Proton pump inhibitors are associated with this form of nephrotoxicity.
19. Ingestion of this alcohol can cause ketonemia without acidosis.
20. Because of renal retention of its metabolite, M6G, this analgesis should not be used in repeated doses in patients with renal failure.
21. The X-linked inherited disorder that can manifest as neuropathic pain, telangiectasias, angiokeratomas, proteinuric renal disease, LVH, and strokes is caused by a deficiency in this.
22. This is the most common renal complication of sickle cell disease and is most often heralded by overt nocturia.
23. In addition to acute tubular necrosis, this antibiotic can also cause a picture that mimics Bartter syndrome.
24. Hungry bone syndrome and refeeding syndrome can both cause this electrolyte disorder.
25. This anticonvulsant can cause metabolic acidosis without Fanconi syndrome through inhibition of carbonic anhydrase.
26. A 16-year-old hypertensive female with low renin, low aldosterone, metabolic acidosis, and hyperkalemia most likely has this disorder.
27. The use of D-penicillamine in cystine stone therapy is often limited by this renal disorder.
28. This ingestion causes what looks like an RTA but is really due to increased urinary excretion of Hippurate.
29. The inherited renal disorder associated with nephromegaly, systemic hypertension, portal hypertension, and pruritis.
30. Also known as “Spice” or “K2,” this type of recreational drug has been associated with AKI due to ATN or AIN.
31. A 30-year-old man with nephrocalcinosis, kidney stones, hypercalciuria, low molecular weight proteinuria, and a serum creatinine of 2 mg/dL most likely has this disorder.
32. This mutation can cause CAKUT with progressive CKD, diabetes mellitus due to pancreatic agenesis, hyperuricemia and renal magnesium wasting.
33. Although unusual, the acute presentation of isolated postpartum diabetes insipidus may be due to placental production of this.
