Chronic Renal Failure Flashcards
Acute
Sudden increase in BUN and creatinine
Oliguria, hypovolemia, or hypervolemia
Nausea vomiting, malaise
Azotemia with confusion, asterixis, pericardial effusion, etc.
Hyperkalemia, acidosis (type depends on GFR), hyperphosphatemia
Bleeding and clotting (platelet dysfunction)
State 3 for 3 mo
CRF
70% of CRF
DM or HTN
Other causes of CRF
GN, cystic, obstruction, and tubulointerstitial
Hallmarks of CRF
Bone disease Anemia Broad waxy casts Paresthesias B/L small kidneys
HTN, CHF, Edema + CRF
Increase sodium and water retention
Sympathetics and RAAS
Increase PTH with CRF
Decrease GFR -> increase phosphate -> decrease calcium -> increase PTH - but it can’t work on kidney so it activates osteoclasts by activating RANKL production from osteoblasts
Vit D and CRF
Decrease
Bad for bones
Increase PTH even more
Anemia and CRF
No erythropoieten
Broad waxy casts
Tubular destruction
Acidosis and hyperkalemia
Both acute and chronic
Paresthesias
Uremic toxins
Glomerular disease
Proteinuria
Hematuria
Nephritic disease
Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis(GN) IgA nephropathy Henoch-Schönlein Pauci-immune GN Anti-glomerular Basement membrane GN Cryoglobulin-Associated GN Membranoproliferative GN Hepatitis C Infection SLE
Low complement
Antigen binding
IgA
Synpharyngitic
Associated with URI or GI infection
Alternative complement -> serum complement normal
Mesangial cells proliferate
IgA nephropathy assoc with
Henoch Sholein purpura Celiac CMV HIV Liver cirrhosis
Treatment for IgA progressing to CRF
ACEI
Steroids
Cyclophosphamide and azathioprine
IgA vasculitis
Immune deposits in small vessels
P-ANCA GN
Churg Strauss (eosinophilia) or Microscopic polyangitis
Not granuloma formation and not UR tract involvement
C-ANCA GN
Wegener
ANCA GN
Fever, weight loss, hematuria
RBC casts on UA
