Chapter 7: 2.4 - Other Related Renal Diseases Flashcards
1
Q
- immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular membrane
- Compelment is activated
- disease progression may lead to recurrent hamturia, acute nephritis or nephrotic syndrome
A
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
2
Q
- characterized by deposition of amyloid between cells in any organ or tissue of the body
- deposition of amyloid within the glomeruli eventually destroys them
A
Amyloidosis
3
Q
- composed of 90% fibril protein and 10% glycoprotein
A
Amyloid
4
Q
clinical finding:
- proteinuria
- (nephrotic syndrome)
- eventually.. renal failure and uremia
A
Amyloidosis
5
Q
why can DB result to renal disease
A
prolonged glucosemia is toxic to the kidney (glomerulus)
thickening of the basement membrane
6
Q
related to DM:
persistent proteinuria eventually develops into…
A
Chronic renal failure
7
Q
most common cause of end stage renal disease
A
end stage renal disease in diabetes
8
Q
- occurs with fulinant hepatitis or advanced cirrhosis of the liver with ascites fluid buildup.
- This condition is characterized by a vasocinstriction which leads to oliguria, elevated BUN and creatinin, and renal failure.
A
Hepatorenal Failure
9
Q
- Kidneys are still able to produce a smaller amount of hypertonic urine.
- Urine is low in sodium - due to hyperaldosteronism
- no proteinuria (unlike characteristic trait of kidney disease)
- no abnormal sediment
- if hepatic function can be restored the kidney function can also improve
A
Hepatorenal Failure
