05.19 - Tubulointerstitial Disease 2 (Nichols) - PP + Handout, no reading Flashcards
Most common nephrotoxic cause of ATN
Radiologic contrast dye
Tx of ATN
Dialysis, but after tx of shock and organ failure
Two options for quick tx of Hyperkalemia
IV Calcium Gluconate, IV Insulin + Glucose
ATN with Vacuolization and Calcium Oxalate
Ethylene Glycol
Common source of hematogenous infection leading to pyelonephritis
Central Venous Catheter - Staph Aureus
Male-Female preponderance of Pyelonephritis
Males under one, females b/t 1 and 50
Presence of a few renal cortical cysts is clinically significant
No, common finding in older adults with no clinical signficance
Mutations in AD (Adult) PCKD
Polycystin-1 or -2
Region of kidney most susceptible to ischemia
Outer medulla
Kidney injury caused by Rhabdomyolysis
Myoglobin precipitates in renal tubules causing ATN
New-onset azotemia w/ oliguria, fever, skin rash, and especially eosinophilia suggests
Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis
Prognosis for AR PCKD
Immediate untreatable respiratory failure at birth
Potassium over __ is a medical emergency
7 mMol/L
T/F: Biopsy is often needed to dx etiology of AKI
False, unlike Nephrotic and Nephritic syndromes
As injury crosses line of irreversibility in ANT, the cells
undero coagulative necrosis and slough into the lumen (contributing to casts)
Symptoms of ATN
Anorexia progressing thru nausea to vomitting, along with pruritis and confusion
Ascending pyelonephritis in patients >1 is associated with
Vesicoureteral Reflux
When do patients with AD PCKD start getting symptoms? Is the progression of this disease rapid?
30s, no gradual
Mutation in Fibrocystin
AR (Childhood) PCKD
autosomal recessive diseases of cilia components leading to end-stage renal disease in children
Nephronopthisis-Medullary Cystic Disease Complex
Analgesic Nephropathy causes
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis and Papillary Necrosis
Which is reversible: ATN or Glomerular Necrosis
ATN
4 gross complications of Acute Pyelonephritis
Pyenephrosis, Perinephric Abcess, Acute Papillary Necrosis, Scars
Most common genetic cause of end stage renal disease in children
Nephronopthisis-Medullary Cystic Disease Complex
Gross changes in ATN
Kidneys enlarged up to 30%, with pale cortex and congested medulla
most common histopathologic counterpart to moderate-severe acute kidney injury
ATN
Acute Pyelonephritis produces what type of necrosis
Liquefactive –> Abcessing
Symptoms of ATN are the sames as symptoms of
AKI
Primary leukocyte in Acute Pyelonephritis
Neutrophils
Patients with Acute Pyelonephritis may have flank pain, with corresponding physical sign of
Costovertebral Angle Tenderness
Perinephric Abcess
Necrotizing pyelonephritis infection spreads thru renal capsule into surrounding fat
One of the earliers LM findings of ATN
Loss of brush border and bleb formation
Most common cause of ischemia leading to ATN
Shock, especially septic
Most common cause of ATN
Ischemia (75%)
Prognosis for AD PCKD
Avg patient needs dialysis or transplant at 50
Why are GI hemorrhage and epistaxis common in ATN
Platelets not functioning properly
Common symptoms of AD PCKD
Flank pain or dragging sensation in the abdomen
What causes Myoglobin casts
Necrosis of skeletal muscle (Rhabdomyolysis)
