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
Labs for glomerulonephritis (6)
- U/A
- TP/CR
- blood chem
- complement levels
- antibodies (DNAB, ASO)
- IgA
How long after GAS infection does PSGN onset?
8-14 days
PSGN assc labs
- low complement
- ASO+ 90%, ADB + for all
When is renal biopsy indicated for PSGN
within 8 weeks if kidney function isn’t normalized
Most common acute glomerulonephritis worldwide? chronic?
acute: PSGN
chronic: IgA Nephropathy (Bergers)
Recurrent bouts of gross hematuria assc with URI:
cause
IgA Nephropathy (Bergers)
Histo findings assc with PSGN + Bergers
mesangial cell proliferation + increased mesangial cell matrix for both + IgA deposition in Bergers
Prognosis PSGN vs Bergers
PSGN- usually full recovery
Bergers- 20-40% ESRD
In addition to purpura, abdominal pain, what signs are assc with HSP ?
- arthritis
- hematuria
What type of disease is HSP?
IgA mediated vasculitis
When is renal biopsy indicated for HSP?
heavy or nephrotic range proteinuria
Histo findings assc with MPGN
- lobular mesangial hypercellularity
- thickening of GBM
Prognosis MPGN
almost all = ESRD
Labs assc with MPGN
75% have low complement
Most common cause nephrotic syndrome in US adults?
Membranous Nephropathy
=heavy proteinuria –> renal insufficiency
Definition of nephropathy
heavy proteinuria greater than 50mg/kg/day
In addition to proteinuria, what labs are assc with nephropathy?
- hypoalbuminemia
- hypercholesterolemia
- edema
Most common cause primary nephropathy
minimal change disease
Two systemic diseases that cause nephrotic syndrome
SLE
HSP
