CH.9 Flashcards
true or false: Glomerular renal diseases are usually immune mediated.
true
true or false: Vascular disorders induce renal disease by
increasing renal perfusion.
false
true or false: All structural components of the kidney are
equally susceptible to disease.
false
true or false: Tubulointerstitial renal diseases usually result from antibody-antigen and complement interactions.
false
In glomerular diseases, morphologic changes in the
glomeruli include
cellular proliferation
leukocyte infiltration
glomerular basement mmb thickening
When all renal glomeruli are affected by a morphologic change, this change is described as
diffuse
In glomerular renal disease, glomerular damage
results from
toxic substances induced by immune complex
formation.
Clinical features that are characteristic of glomerular damage include
edema
hematuria
proteinuria
Which of the following disorders frequently
occurs following a bacterial infection of the skin or
throat?
Acute glomerulonephritis
Which of the following disorders is characterized by
cellular proliferation into Bowman’s space to form
cellular “crescents”?
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Which of the following disorders is the major cause
of the nephrotic syndrome in adults?
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Which of the following glomerular diseases is
the major cause of the nephrotic syndrome in
children?
Minimal change disease
true or false: IgA nephropathy often follows a muscosal infection
true
Eighty percent of patients who develop chronic
glomerulonephritis previously had some type of glomerular disease. Which of the following disorders is implicated most frequently in the develop-
ment of chronic glomerulonephritis?
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Chronic renal failure often develops in each of the
following diseases except
diabetes insipidus
features characterize the nephrotic syndrome?
Proteinuria
- Edema
- Hypoalbuminemia
- Hyperlipidemia
When a patient has the nephrotic syndrome, microscopic examination of their urine sediment often reveals
waxy cast
associated with acute tubular necrosis?
Antibiotics
Hemoglobinuria
Surgical procedures
Which formed element in urine sediment is characteristic of toxic acute tubular necrosis and aids
in its differentiation from ischemic acute tubular
necrosis?
proximal tubular cells
Which of the following disorders is characterized by
the urinary excretion of large amounts of arginine,
cystine, lysine, and ornithine?
cystinuria
Generalized loss of proximal tubular function is a
characteristic of
fanconi’s syndrome
Which of the following changes is not associated
with renal tubular acidosis?
Decreased glomerular filtration rate
Which of the following disorders is considered a
lower urinary tract infection?
cystitis
Most urinary tract infections are caused by
gram-negative rods.
Which of the following formed elements when
present in urine sediment is most indicative of an
upper urinary tract infection?
casts
The most common cause of chronic pyelonephritis
is
reflux nephropathies.
Eosinophiluria, fever, and skin rash are characteristic clinical features of
acute interstitial nephritis.
Cessation of the administration of a drug is the
fastest and most effective treatment for
acute interstitial nephritis.
Yeast is considered part of the normal flora in each
of the following locations except in the
urinary tract
Acute renal failure can be caused by all of the
following except
acute pyelonephritis.
Isosthenuria, significant proteinuria, and numerous
casts of all types describes the urinalysis findings
from a patient with
chronic renal failure.
Approximately 75% of the renal calculi that form
in patients contain
calcium
The formation of renal calculi is enhanced by
increases in chemical salts in the urine
ultrafiltrate.
