Q

Pathophysiology of Pre-renal AKI..

A

-Hypoperfusion–>Incr. RAAS system–>Hypertension+reabsp of H2O and Na+(less Na and H2O in urine)–>less H2O in lumen your BUN INCR.
-All this is possible because** tubules are NOT damaged**.

Q

Pathophysiology of Acute Tubular Necrosis..

A

-Ischemia (either toxins or ischemia by hypoperfusion)–>3 changes -Na+/K+ ATPase moves from basolateral to apical surface, -Integrins decr. and -Tight junctions also decr.–>NOT being able to reabsp. Na+, therfore incr lumen sodium promoting H2O to follow** and Epi cells are easier tu slough off–>causing lumen obstruction and **DECR GFR **due to backflow.

-The further decr in volume in blood due to H2O excretion will worsen the necrosis.

61
Q

Type 2 RTA pathogenesis..

A

-PCT cannot reabsp. HCO-3–> metabolic acidosis
-Excess HCO-3 in lumen–>osmotic diuresis–>mild hypovolemia–>RAAS activation->Na+reabsp. and K+ excretion–>Hypokalemia.
-When urine is not acidic–>theres no need to excrete HCO-3–> it will be reabsp.–>Acidic urine
