05.20 - Diabetic Renal Disease (Wall, Nichols) - PP Flashcards
Stage 2 of DN
Clinically evident: Micro-albuminuria, BP rises, glomeruli show damage
Which is specific for diabetic glomerulopathy: Capsular Drops, Fibrin Caps
Capsular Drops
Globally sclerotic glomeruli, dilated tubules resembling thyroid follicles, interstial fibrosis
Microscopic appearance of end stage kidney in DN
Stage 4 of DN
GFR < 75mL/min - HTN ubiquitous
Stage 3 of DN
Macro-Albuminuria, Creatinine and BUN levels rise, BP rises
Development of ___ heralds rapdid decline in GFR in Type2 DM
Macroalbuminuria
Condition that will cause Hyaline Sclerosis in both efferent and afferent arterioles
DM
% of diabetics who develop nephropathy
30-40%
By the time of Macroalbuminuria (over nephropathy), over 90% of patients have
HTN
Features of Nodular Type Diabetic Glomerulopathy
Kimmelstiel Wilson nodules and Hyaline sclerosis of both arterioles
Macroalbuminuria is defined as
random urine albumin/creatinine over 300 mg/g
Patients taking ACEi’s or ARB’s should be monitored for
Hyperkalemia
End Stage kidney from Diabetic Nephropathy looks just like
HTN Nephropathy
Nodular Glomerulosclerosis (Kimmelstiel Wilson Disease) correlates with
Renal failure eventually requiring dialysis
How do you distinguish diabetic nephropathy from most other forms of CKD
Glomeruli and kidneys are typically normal or larger in DN; in others, renal size is usually reduced
How does Glucose lead to Glomerular Pressure increase
Glucose provides osmotic diuretic effect –> Incr renal filtration –> Glomerular hypertophy –> Glomerular pressure incr
Diffuse type Diabetic Glomerulopathy consists of
Capillary BM thickening; Increased MM
Macroalbuminuria is aka
Overt Nephropathy
Micro-Albuminuria is defined as
> 30 mg/g loss
How does glucose lead to Premature Glomerulosclerosis
Osmotic Diuretic Effect –> Incr filtration –> G pressure incr –> Hypertrophy –> G cell failure –> Premature Glomerulosclerosis
Most common type of Diabetic Glomerulopathy
Diffuse
What causes injury to tubular cells in Glomerular HTN
G HTN –> Injury to GBM –> Leaks plasma proteins –> Attempts to reabsorb these proteins injures tubular cells
What causes fibrosis and scarring in Glomerular HTN
Tubular inflammation and renal microvascular injury from protein leakage
Reduction in proteinuria is associated with
Reduced risk for ESRD
Where do fibrosis and scarring occur in Glomerular HTN
Both glomerular and tubular elements of nephron
Kimmelstiel Wilson nodules and Hyaline sclerosis of both arterioles
Features of Nodular Type Diabetic Glomerulopathy
Which drug has been shown to slow rate of diabetic nephropathy more than others
ACEi
Fibrin caps
Crescentic deposits of condensed leaked plasma proteins
Avg time to progression from stage 1 to stage 4 in DM1
17 years
Higher baseline Albuminuria =
Faster rate of progression
Microscopic appearance of end stage kidney in DN
Globally sclerotic glomeruli, dilated tubules resembling thyroid follicles, interstial fibrosis
