25
Q

Bilateral Renal Agenesis

A

Early degeneration or failure of formation of the ureteric bud. Left kidney is usually the absent one.

26
Q

Supernumerary Kidney

A

Very rare. If supernumerary kidney has its own separate ureter (rather than a bifid ureter), there were probably two separate ureteric buds on that side.

27
Q

Horseshoe Kidney

A

Fusion of inferior poles of kidney while still in pelvis. Ascent of the horseshoe kidney is interrupted by the IMA.

28
Q

Bifid Ureter

A

Due to early, incomplete division of the ureteric bud, a split ureter to a single kidney is formed.

29
Q

Cross-fused Renal Ectopia

A

Left kidney fused with right kidney while in the pelvis and was then carried along with the ascent of the right kidney

30
Q

Nephrolithiasis

A

Aggregates of calcium, phosphate, oxalate, urate, and other soluble salts form due to urine saturation.

31
Q

Nutcracker Syndrome

A

Left renal vein gets compressed between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta, shunting blood into the left gonadal vein, causing pain and edema in testicular region.

32
Q

AD Polycystic Kidney Disease

A

Autosomal dominant. Usually presents in adults. Cysts develop slowly overtime. Due to defective polycystin.

33
Q

AR Polycystic Kidney Disease

A

Autosomal recessive. Presents in infancy or childhood. Cysts are radially arranged, dilated CDs. Due to defective Fibrocystin.

34
Q

Cystocele

A

Prolapse of the bladder into the vaginal canal. Common in multiparity, straining for bowel movements, violent coughing, heavy lifting, and obese women.

35
Q

Acute Proliferative Glomerulonephritis (Post-Strep)

A

Granular deposits immune complexes on the glomerular basement membrane (IgG and complement), often following a streptococcal throat infection.

36
Q

Membranous Nephropathy

A

Can be primary/idiopathic (most cases) or secondary (SLE, malignant tumors, or medications). Diffuse thickening of the glomerular capillary basement membrane by reactive deposition of add’l BM material, leading to “spikes” on the outer surface of the basement membrane.

37
Q

Minimal change disease

A

Likely cell mediated immunity, causing effacement of the podocyte foot processes.

38
Q

Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis

A

Occurs in diabetics. Glomerular basement membrane thickens, and mesangial matrix. Afferent/efferent arterioles hyalinize, leading to decreased blood flow to the glomerulus.

39
Q

Acute Tubular Necrosis

A

Most common cause is acute ischemia due to hypotension. Also NSAIDS, iodine contrast agents, heavy metals, toxins, infections, ischemia/hypovolemic shock, and obstruction.

40
Q

Acute Pyelonephritis

A

Acute suppurative bacterial infection of the renal interstitium and tubules, ascending from the lower urinary tract.

41
Q

Chronic Pyelonephritis

A

Obstruction of the drainage system (pyelonephrosis), urinary reflux, and recurrent acute pyelonephritis leads to permanent scarring on the kidneys.

42
Q

Chronic Renal Hypertension

A

Increased tension in renal vessel walls leads to hyalinization of the walls and reduction in the caliber of the vessel.

43
Q

Acute vs. chronic renal failure

A

Acute: Reversible changes. Symptoms develop within 7 days. Chronic: Irreversible changes. Symptoms are prolonged and are the end result of all chronic renal disease.

44
Q

Renal Artery Stenosis

A

Major cause is atheromatous plaques. Causes refractory hypertension due to renal production of renin in response to low plasma volume entering through stenosed renal artery.

45
Q

Hypoalbuminemia

A

Caused by either decreased synthesis of albumin (ex. kwashiorkor and liver cirrhosis) or increased loss of albumin (ex. kwashiorkor and liver cirrhosis) or increased loss of albumin (ex. kidney disease and severe burns).

46
Q

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

A

Autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Deficiency in alpha-1 antitrypsin, due to lack of glycosylation of an Asp.

47
Q

Wilson’s Disease

A

Deficiency of a copper-transporting ATPase (ATPase 7-B), which is needed to link copper to apoceruloplasmin and to release copper into bile.

48
Q

Addison’s Disease

A

Atrophy of the adrenal glands, causing adrenal insufficiency.

49
Q

Conn’s Syndrome

A

Hyperaldosteronism, due to excess secretion by adrenals.

50
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH

A

Excessive levels of ADH are secreted by the posterior pituitary, causing excess water reabsorption by the kidneys.

51
Q

Central Diabetes Insipidus

A

No ADH is released from the posterior pituitary, leading to excess water excretion.

52
Q

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus

A

ADH is released by kidneys are not responding to it, leading to excess water excretion.

53
Q

Dipsogenic Diabetes Insipidus

A

A defect in the thirst mechanism, causing excessive thirst and fluid intake that suppresses ADH secretion and increases urine output.

54
Q

Gestational Diabetes Insipidus

A

Pregnant mother produces vasopressinase in the placenta, which breaks down ADH. This can cause low plasma ADH.

55
Q

Metabolic Syndrome

A

Clustering of atherosclerotic and cardiovascular disease risk factors including visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, low level of HDL, a systemic proinflammatory state.

56
Q

Metabolic Acidosis

A

Decreased bicarbonate in the blood

57
Q

Metabolic Alkalosis

A

Increased bicarbonate in the blood.

58
Q

“Alkalosis Begets Alkalosis”

A

ECF volume contraction increases bicarbonate reabsorption in the proximal tubule and proton secretion by alpha intercalated cells. Thus, alkalosis with an ECF volume contraction causes runaway alkalosis.

59
Q

Respiratory Acidosis

A

Increased CO2 retention due to hypoventilation.

60
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis

A

Decreased CO2 due to hyperventilation.

61
Q

Salicylate Poisoning

A

Due to large dose of salicylates (aspirin). Causes excess stimulation of respiratory center, leading to hyperventilation.
