19
Q

If you see renal tubular epithelial cells, transitional cells, granular or waxy casts in the urine, what is the cause?

A

ATN

20
Q

If you see WBC, WBC casts, or urine eosinophils int he urine what is the cause?

A

AIN or pyelonephritis

21
Q

IF you see dysmorphic RBCs or RBC casts in the urine what is the cause?

A

vasculitis or glomerulonephritis

22
Q

If you see proteinuria <3.5g/day, hematuria, dysmorphic RBCs and casts what is the cause?

A

NEphritic syndrome

23
Q

If you see heavy proteinuria >3.5g/day, lipiduria, minimal hematuria, what is the cause?

A

NephrOtic syndrome

24
Q

What is the cause of hyaline casts?

A

nonspecific, prerenal azotemia

25
Q

What is the cause of WBCs, RBCs, bacteria in urin?

A

UTI

26
Q

What is the treatment of AKI?

A

depends on etiology

correct underlying issue

supportive (fluids, renal replacement, avoid hypotension and nephrotxins)

27
Q

What are the key features of NephrOtic syndrome?

A

>3.5g/day of Protein

hypoalbumemia

edema

hyperlipidemia

lipiduria

*if albumin is normal, pt does not have nephrotic syndrome

28
Q

How is nephrOtic syndrome diagnosed?

A

Renal biopsy

29
Q

How is nephrItic syndrome defined?

What key feature is seen in urine?

A

Hematuria

HTN

minimal proteinuria

renal failure common

*Active urinary sediment (casts)

30
Q

How is nephrItic syndrome diagnosed>

A

renal biopsy

31
Q

What is a common urinary symptom of diabetes inspidus?

A

Polyuria (solute diuresis or water diuresis)

32
Q

What can cause solute diuresis?

A

glucosuria (hyperglycemia)

urea (resolution of aztoemia)

sodium (IVF)

mannitol (tx of ICP)

33
Q

What can cause water diuresis?

A

primary polydipsia

central or nephrogenic Diabetes inspidus

34
Q

How is ADH released in response to increased serum osmolality?

How is ADH released in response to decreased BP or increased BV?

A

serum osmolality is detected by osmoreceptors in the anterior hypothalamus which causes ADH release

These are sensed by the arterial baroreceptors and atrial stretch receptors leading to ADH release

35
Q

When ADH is released, what does it bind to?

How does this relate to dehydration?

A

binds to V2R and increased cAMP leading to insertion of AQP2 and urea transporters on the apical membrane

In dehydration, this is why urea levels increase

36
Q

What is central diabetes insipidus?

A

caused by decreased release of ADH

usually idiopathic

37
Q

What is nephrogenic diabetes inspidus?

A

caused by decreased response to antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

rare hereditary form seen in children

can be caused by lithium or hypercalcemia

38
Q

how does hypercalcemia lead to polyuria?

Then how does it cause nephrogenic DI?

A

basolateral calcium sensor (CaSR) in TAL leads to inactivation of luminal K channel which inactivates NKCL2 transporter (like a loop diuretic)

in the CD on the apical membrane, the CaSR is activated by high Ca levels. The CaSR induces degradation of the AQP2 channels leading to nephrogenic DI

39
Q

How is DI diagnoseD?

A

24hr urine volume collection

urine osm <300

water deprivation test

40
Q

how is DI treated?

how is hypernatremia treated?

A

central-give vasopressin

nephrogenic-decrease solute intake, thiazide diuretics, NSAIDs, vasopressin

hypernatremia-replace free water deficit with water or IV D5W
