POINTS to PONDER…..
A 22-year-old female BMLS student performs a urinalysis on her own urine as part of a lab class. Significant results include: Color: yellow Appearance: Cloudy pH: 7.5 Nitrite: positive Leukocyte esterase: 2+ 20-40 WBC/hpf 0-3 RBC/hpf 2-5 squamous epithelial cell/lpf Moderate bacteria All other results were normal. What do these findings suggest? Is/Are there any of these results which is/are not consistent with the others? Why do you say so?

A
98
Q

The term [?] describes a series of screening tests that are capable of detecting a variety of renal, urinary tract, and systemic diseases.

A

“routine urinalysis”

99
Q

Urine specimen has been referred to as a [?] of the urinary tract, which is painlessly obtained. It also yields a great deal of information quickly and economically.

A

liquid tissue biopsy

100
Q

Disorders in the body can affects renal function considering that the major function of the kidney is filtration of the blood to remove waste products.

A
101
Q

The kidneys are consistently exposed to potentially damaging substances.

A
102
Q

Renal disorders are classified according to the anatomical structures affected. These can be glomerular, tubular or tubulointerstitial in nature.

A
103
Q

Glomerular disorders may present as nephritic or nephrotic syndromes.

A
104
Q

The hallmarks of nephritic glomerular disorders are grossly visible hematuria and mild to moderate proteinuria.

A
105
Q

They may be immune or non-immune mediated.

A
106
Q

Nephrotic glomerular disorders on the other presents with heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia leading to hyperlipiduria.

A
107
Q

Examples of nephritic disorders include acute proststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, Goodpasteur syndrome, Wegener’s granulomatosis, membranous glomerulonephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulomephritis, Berger’s disease and chronic glomerulonephritis.

A
108
Q

Tubular disorders are those that primarily affects the renal tubules resulting to dysnfunctional reabsorption of substances. These include acute tubular necrosis, Fanconi syndrome and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

A
109
Q

Tubulointerstitial disorders initially affects the renal interstitium and progresses to cause tubular damage. These disorders are often caused by infection such as urinary tract infection or inflammation such as acute interstitial nephritis.

A
110
Q

Other disorders of the urinary system include the formation of calculi or lithiasis in the kidneys (pelvis and calyces), ureters and bladder.

A
111
Q

Calculi formation is brought about by the precipitation of urine crystals, the most common of which is calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate.

A
112
Q

Renal failure often results from the gradual progression of another disorder which may eventually lead to end-stage renal disease.
