What manifests by hematuria with progression to chronic renal failure, accompanied by nerve deafness and various eye disorders, including lens dislocation, posterior cataracts and corneal dystrophy, XLINKED (85% cases)?
Alport syndrome
Alport syndrome is caused by a defect in collagen IV which is cruicial for function of the GBM, lens of the eye, and cochlea. What is the neumonic ALPORT?
A for alport LP is a record listen to = deafness O is for ocular defects R is for renal failure T thickening of BM and type IV collagen
Alport syndrome is a nephritic syndrome (hematuria), seen on EM as alternating thickening and thinning GBM w lamination of the lamina densa, foci of rarefaction- what type of appearance?

20-50years
What is a fairly common hereditary entity manifested clinically by familial asymptomatic hematuria and morphillogically by diffuse THINNING of the GBM?

What is a clinicopathologic entity chracterized clinically by acute renal failure and morphologically by damage to tubular epithelial cells in the form of necrosis?
Acute tubular injury (ATI)
*MCC of acute renal failure
Acute tubular injury (ATI) is commonly due to ischemia, due to decreased or interrupted blood flow such as due to hypotension and shock, are in diffuse involvement of intrarenal BVs in conditions such as malignant hypertension, TTP, DIC, or?
HUS
```
TTP= thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura
DIC= disseminated intravascular coagulation
~~~
Acute tubular injury (ATI) can also be due to direct toxic injury to the tubules by endogenous or exogenous agents such as?
certain drugs or toxins
Tubular injury due to toxic injury or ischemia results in tubular backleak, sloughed cells, and interstitial inflammation, leading to obstruction, and what two main endpoints?
Decreased GFR and Decrease urine output
the critical evens in both ischemic and nephrotoxic ATI are believed to be tubular injury and persistent and severe disturbances in ?
blood flow
Tubular epithelial cells have high metabolic demand (massive resorption and Na/K ATPase use), ischmia/poisoned cells lose polarity and transfer from basolateral to luminal side causing?
abnormal ion transport = increased distal sodium delivery = vasconstriction and tubuloglomerular feedback
Ischemic tubular cells detach from the BM, and obstruct the lumen causing decrease GFR, disturbance of BF causes vasconstriction can also occur - reducing GFR and causing reduced?
O2 delivery to the functionally important tubules in the outer medulla (TAL/ straight seg of PT)
the tubular damage in acute tubular injury is different for ischemia and toxicity. In ischemia one can see patchy necrosis in the PCT, PST, and ascending loop of henle straight segments. What is seen in toxic tubular damage?
Continuous damage in the PCT, PST, and patchy damage in the ascending loop henle
Occlusion of tubular lumens by casts is common, usually occuring in the DCT and the collecting duct, which contain what protein, which is a urinary glycoprotein normally secreted by the cells of the ascending thick limb and distal tubules?
Tamm-Horsfall protein (in the casts)
Proximal tubule cells have a high energy demand and are more susceptible to ischemia, inorder for tubular epithelial cells to regenerate after injury (reversible) what must be intact?
the basement membrane
If there is toxic poisoning with ethylene glycol, ballooning and hydropic or what type of degeneration of the PCTs can be seen?
vacuolar degeneration
all PCT cells swell and have vacuolization
What type of aminoglycoside causes acut renal failure in 15-20% of patients, which are reserved for life threatening gram negative sepsis?
Gentamycin
The clinical course of ATI is highly variable but is divided into three stages. Initiation phase lasts about 36hours in which the nephrotoxic insult has not yet caused acute renal failure, what can be seen?
Oliguria
The second stage of ATI is what, which is charcterized oliguric crisis with evidence of uremia, and hyper*kalemia ?
