Q

what can high doses of IV furosemide cause

A

ototoxicity

32
Q

why hyperlipidemia in CKD

A

bi-product of synthesis of albumin is low-density lipoprotein

33
Q

treatment of hyperlipidemia =

A

statins with or without ezetimibe

34
Q

bone metabolism in the kidney

A

hydroxylation of inactive 25(OH) vit D to active 1,25(OH)2 vit D

35
Q

in CKD what happens to bone metabolism

A

Vit D deficiency means less absorption of calcium from gut therefore increased PTH stimulating osteoclast to release calcium from bone

36
Q

whats it called when kidney function is effected by an obstruction in urinary flow

A

obstructive nephropathy

37
Q

hydronephrosis=

A

dilation of the renal pelvis

38
Q

common causes of obstructive uropathy (4)

A
  • renal calculi
  • BPH
  • prostate cancer
  • bladder tumours
39
Q

what is often related to unilateral obstrutive uropathy

A

renal calculi

40
Q

what is often related to obstructive nephropathy

A

BPH

41
Q

pathophysiology of obstructive nephropathy

A

back-flow of urine causes increased pressure and a hydronephrosis resulting in reduced renal blood flow, decreased GFR, ischaemia and increased RAAS

42
Q

end result of obstructive nephropathy in the kidney

A

atrophy and apoptosis of renal tubules, interstitial tissue fibrosis via macrophage infiltration

43
Q

high pressure within the tubules in obstructive nephropathy causes

A

reabsorption of Na, water and urea

44
Q

lab results of obstructive nephropathy

A

hypernatremia
low urinary Na
high BUN: cr ratio
high urine osmolarity

45
Q

risk factors for obstructive uropathy (7)

A
BPH
constipation 
medications 
urolithiasis 
parkinson's 
MS 
malignancy- prostatic, bladder, cervical and colon
46
Q

physical side effects of haemodialysis (5)

A
  • fatigue
  • insomnia
  • bone and joint pain
  • loss of libido
  • dry mouth and anxiety
47
Q

physical complications of peritoneal dialysis (6)

A
  • peritonitis
  • abdominal pain
  • weight gain
  • fever and rigors
  • N&V
  • increased risk of umbilical hernia
48
Q

why is delirium seen in dialysis patients

A

electrolyte imbalances

49
Q

average waiting list for kidney transplant

A

> 3 years

50
Q

2 types of dialysis

A

haemodialysis

peritoneal

51
Q

more efficient dialysis=

A

haemodialysis

52
Q

times /week of haemodialysis

A

3 days

53
Q

times/ week of peritoneal dialysis

A

everyday

54
Q

what are antibodies

A

glycoproteins part of the immunoglobulin superfamily

55
Q

what is the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) composed of

A

one constant and one paratope variable domain

56
Q

what determines the Fab region

A

idiotype

57
Q

what is a paratope

A

the variable antigen-binding site on the Fab domain

58
Q

what is the fragment crystallisable region (Fc domain)

A

the constant tail region of the antibody

59
Q

what does the Fc domain interact with

A

immune effect cells to coordinate the appropriate response to antigen

60
Q

what determines the heavy domain

A

isotype

61
Q

what does the isotype/ Fc domain determine

A

the function of an antibody

62
Q

what antibodies do Naive B cells express

A

IgM and IgD

63
Q

how are other antibodies formed

A

by class switching after antigen exposure in the germinal centre of the lymph nodes

64
Q

first antibody expressed during B cell development=

A

IgM

65
Q

structure of IgM and function

A
  • pentameric connected by central J chain

- major antibody in primary immune response -complement cascade as well

66
Q

most abundant immunoglobulin in serum =

A

IgG

67
Q

what does IgG do

A

helps bacterial immobilisation and neutralise toxin and viruses

68
Q

only antibody that can cross the placenta=

A

IgG

69
Q

IgA is secreted in the

A

respiratory and intestinal tract- mucosal immunity

70
Q

shape of IgA

A

2 monomeric proteins connected by J chain

71
Q

antibody present in the lowest concentration in the blood plasma=

A

IgE

72
Q

main antibody for allergic reactions=

A

IgE -induce mast cells, eosinophils and langerhan cells

73
Q

main categories of antibody action=

A

neutralisation
agglutination
precipitation
complement activation

74
Q

aggulatination=

A

many antibodies bind to foreign cells forming aggregating clumps inducing phagocytosis by macrophages

75
Q

precipitation=

A

many antibodies bind to serum-soluble antigens forming a precipitant which recruits macrophages and phagocytosis

76
Q

what can an activated B cell differentiate into (2)

A

plasma cell

memory cell
