Q

Pre-renal azotemia

A
  • Due to decrease in Renal blood flow (Hypotension)
  • Increased BUN/Creatinine Ratio

(BUN is absorbed, creatinine is not)

Hypotension so the kidney is tryna hold onto whatever it can to conserve volume

BUN/Creatinine ration >20

Q

Acute Tubular Necrosis

(intra renal failure)

Whats seen in the urine casts?

what are serum and lab findings

What are the two ways to get it?

A

Injury and necrosis of Tubular epithelial cells. These necrotic cells plug the tubule which obstructs and Decreases GFR

  • Muddy brown casts
  • bc the epithelial cells are fucked you get messed up (decreased) resorption of:

BUN which means BUN:CR is

Na which means FeNA >2%

Inability to concentrate urine — Osmalitly

-Ischemic & Neprotoxic

Q

NephrOtic Syndrome

Whats the main hallmark of this?

what all lost becasue of it

List all 6 dz that leads to this

A
  • PrOteinuria (>3.5g/day). due to any damage of the GFR barrier

Loss of Albumin* which causes *EDEMA

Loss of immunoglobulins –> increased infections

Loss of Antithrombin III(ATIII) –> Hypercoag

Hyperlipidemia- frothy urine

  • Minimal Change Dz, Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (effacement of podocytes)
  • Membranous Nephropathy, MPGN (deposition of immune complexes)
  • Diabetic Glomerulonephropathy, Amyloidosis

Q

Minimal Change Dz (MCD)

who gets it

what causes this which can be seen on EM

which protein do you lose?

treatment?

A

most common cause of NephrOtic syndrome in kids

-effacement of foot processess (podocytes) due to cytokines

you only lose albumin

-tx: Steroids

17
Q

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Who usually gets this?

What is it associated with

what what it look like on histo

whats special about the treatment and what can it progress to

A
  • most common cause of NephrOtic syndrome in Hispanics and Blacks
  • HIV, Heroine, and Sickle cell
  • -*Focal (not all glomeruli) Segmental (only part of affected glomeruli) Slcerosis (deposition of pink collagen)
  • poor response to steriods and can progress to chronic renal failure
18
Q

Membranous nephropathy

who gets it

whats it associated with

whats it look like on histo due to?

A

Most common cause of NephrOtic syndrome in Caucasian adults

-Hep B/C, Solid Tumors, SLE

Very thick membranes due to immune complex depositions

-Spike and Dome on EM

19
Q

Membrano-Proliferative Glomerulonephritis

what does it look like on stain

divided into two types. explain them and what they are associated with

A

Thickening of the glomerular membrane due to deposits of Immune complexes

Tram Track appearance because the membrane gets split by the mesangial cells

  • Type 1: Subendothelial deposits. Hep B/C
  • Type 2: Basement Membrane deposits. C3 Nephritic factor (activates complement by stablizing C3 convertase)
20
Q

Where are the immune deposits in MPGN (membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis) and Membranous nephropathy

A

MPGN type 1: Subendothelia

MPGN type 2: basement membrane

Membranous: subepithelial

21
Q

Diabetic Glomerulonephropathy

What does the diabetes do? how to treat it

what kind of nodules will you see?

A

cause of NephrOtic syndrome

High blood sugar leads to Nonezymatic glycosylation of GBM

leads to leaky and thickening

also increase in GFR due to constriction of efferent arteries (can be treated with Ace inhibitors

kimmelstiel-wilson nodules

22
Q

Amyloidosis

what will stain show?

A

Cause of NephrOtic syndrome

Kidney is the most common organ of Amyloid deposition

Congo Red stain shows apple-green birefiringence

23
Q

NephrItic Syndrome

whats the hallmark finding

what causes the finding

What are the different types

A

-_Glomerular *I*nflammation and bleeding_ that leads to hematuria and RBC casts in urine

limited proteinuria (

  • deposition of immune complex triggers inflammation
  • Types: Post Strep Glomerulonephritis, Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (Crescentic), IgA nephropathy
24
Q

Post Strep GlomeruloNephritis (PSGN)

when does it occur and the virulence factor

Clinical presentation

-whats it look like on histo

how do you treat it?

A

Main cause of NephrItic Syndrome

  • occurs after group A, ß hemolytic strep infection of skin or throat
  • -M protein*
  • -Periorbital Edema, Cola Urine, Hypertension*
  • -*“Lumpy bumpy Hump” GRANULAR on Basement membrane
  • it usually resolves on its own
25
Q

Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (Crescentic)

what are the crescents made of?

What will the Immunoflorescence look like?

A

A cause of NephrItic syndrome that progresses to renal failure in weeks to months

Crescents in the glomerulus

-crescents consist of Fibrin and plasma proteins

Linear: Antibodies to basement membrane = Goodpasture syndrome

26
Q

IgA Nephropathy

(Berger Dz)

when do you usually get it?

A

Cause of NephrItic Syndrome

IgA immune complex deposition in Mesangium of Glomeruli

Concurrently with Respiratory or GI Tract infection (the IgA gets secreted by mucosal linings)

27
Q

Alport Syndrome

A

cause of NephrItic syndrome

inherited (X-linked) defect in Type 4 collagen

-thinning and slpitting of the GBM

isolated hematuria

Eye problems, ear problems kidney problmes,

cant see, cant pee, cant hear a bee

28
Q

Urinary Tract infection

whos at higher risk

whats in the lab findings

which bacteria cause these?

what if you have a negative culture

A

Infection of urethra, bladder (cystitis), or kidney

most commonly ascending infection, women are more risk due to shorter urethra

+ Leukocyte esterase, + nitrites,

urine culture >100k

  • E Coli > Staph saprophyticus > Klebsiella > Proteus mirabilis (pee has ammonia scent)
  • negative culture suggests Neisseria gonorrhoaeae / Chlamydia
29
Q

Pyelonephritis (acute)

how does it present?

whats in the urine

A

Infection of the kidney (usually due to ascending infection)

-fever, flank pain (Costovertebral angle)

WBC casts in urine

30
Q

Pyelonephritis (Chronic)

which abnormality usually causes this

what does this look similiar to/mimic on histo

A

when you get acute pyelonpehritis a bunch and you get atrophy and fibrosis of the tubules

-vesicoureteral reflux (relfux back into the ureters up to the kidney)

cortical scarring with blunted calyx

“thyroidization”

31
Q

Kidney stones

symptomes

what kind of stones are there and shape/associations/tx

A

Colicky pain with unilateral flank tenderness, hematuria

  • Calcium oxylate (most common): envelope,chrons dz, tx=HCTZ
  • Amonium magnesium phosphate: coffin, ureas(+) organisms: Proteus or Klebsiella tx=surgically remove (Staghorn)
  • Uric acid: rhomboid, acidic ph/hot climate/gout(duh), tx=Allopurinol
  • Cysteine: seen in children, genetic defect where you dont reabsorb Cysteine, Staghorn
32
Q

Renal Cell Carcinoma

classic symptoms

what can it be associated with

what does it look like grossly

what mutation leads to this and which chromosome is it on

A
  • hematuria, palpable mass, flank pain
  • associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (ectopic EPO, ACTH, PTHrP, renin)
  • golden yellow mass + clear cell

Loss of von hippel-lindau (VHL) suppresor gene on Chromosome 3

smoking

33
Q

Wilms Tumor

how does pt present

which mutation?

what syndrome can this be a part of?

A

Most common kidney tumor in kids

  • blastema
  • Large palpable unilateral flank mass, hematuria, HTN
