4. A common comorbidity in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is:

• A. Liver disease
• B. Malnutrition
• C. Acute renal failure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Malnutrition is a common comorbidity in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This is mainly due to factors such as dietary restrictions, poor appetite, and the body's increased nutritional needs as it struggles to deal with the disease. Liver disease (Choice A) is not typically associated directly with CKD, although both conditions may coexist in some patients. Acute renal failure (Choice C) is not a comorbidity but a severe and potentially lethal progression of CKD. Difficulty breathing (Choice D) is not a comorbidity but can be a symptom of severe kidney disease or other underlying conditions. However, malnutrition is more commonly observed in CKD patients compared to difficulty breathing.
