BRS Renal Flashcards
Total body fluid requirements =
maintenance fluid needs +
prior loss +
ongoing losses
Two types of fluid losses
sensible (urine, etc. measurable)
insensible (sweat, skin etc…not measurable)
Maintenance fluid requirements for children
1500 mL/m^2/day or..... 100ml/kg/day for first 10 kg 50ml/kg/day for second 10 kg 20 ml/kg/day for any additional 10 kg
How much should maintenance fluids be increased during fever?
12% for every degree increase in temp above 38
Normal sodium range + relevance to dehydration
130-150
above= hypernatremic dehydration, correct over 48 hours
below/equal= hypo/isonatremic, correct over 24 hours
Three severities of dehydration
3-5%: mild
7-10%: moderate
12%+: severe
Typical bolus amount
20ml/kg normal saline for all dehydrated patients What
Composition of oral rehydration salts
glucose + electrolytes
coupled cotransport mechanism
Define microscopic hematuria (#)
more than 6 RBCs per HPF
Cause of false negative urine dipsticks
vitamin C
Shape of RBCs from upper vs lower urinary tract
upper: dysmorphic, blebs in membrane
lower: normal biconcave discs
Three hematologic causes of hematuria
sickle cell
thrombocytopenia
thrombosis
Four glomerular diseases leading to hematuria
- bergers
- HSP
- PSGN
- Alports
Proteinuria level considered pathologic
more than 100mg/m^2/day
What causes incorrect measures of protein in urine
high concentration = false +
low concentration = false -
Typical test for urine protein in children + normal levels
TP/CR
6-24 months, less than 0.5 normal
2+ years, less than 0.2 normal
Dipstick + for blood but no RBS on U/A… cause?
hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria
Orthostatic proteinuria, protein is excreted when?
when upright but not supine
Cause of glomerular proteinuria
increased permeability of the glomerular capillaries
Cause of tubular proteinuria
decreased reabsorption due to injury
Marker for tubular vs glomerular proteinuria
tubular: B(two)macroglobulin
glomerular: microalbumin
Two types of glomerulonephritis
primary vs secondary
Signs of acute nephritic syndrome
- gross hematuria
- hypertension
- fluid overload
Signs of acute nephrotic syndrome
- heavy proteinuria
- hypercholesterolemia
- edema
