Diabetic kidney problems Flashcards

1
Q

What is the role of hyperfiltration in diabetics?

A

increase GFR due to glucose dependent arteriolar dilation

Ang II mediates contriction of efferent arteriole

Q

What is the role of hypertrophy in diabetics

A

early in onset
size of kidney increases
associated with increase in mesangial cell and capillary loops

Q

What is the role of mesangial changes in diabetics?

A

hallmarks of DN
-mesangial expansion
-nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis
early mesangial lesion is characterized by a increase in mesangial cell number

Q

What is the role of proteinuria in diabetics?

A

widening of GBM -accumulation of type IV collagen and net reduction in negatively charged heparin

podocyte changes -incrase width of foot

serum protein cross the rhe BM due to disrupted textures gaps and holes

Q

What is the role of fibrosiis in kidneys of diabetics?

A

tubulonintersitial fibrosis

casued by release of growth factors

tubular cell changes their phenotype and become fibroblasts

high glucose concentration

Q

What is acute kidney injury?

A
acute renal failure
reduction in GFR resulting in azotemia
renal ischemia or toxins
usually reversible
absence of Sxs of chronic uremia
kidney size usually preserved

16
Q

What is the pre-reanl aki category?

A

impaired effective renal perfusion

17
Q

What is renal aki/

A

intrinsic renal disease

glomerular, tubulur, interstitial vascular

18
Q

What is post-renal AKI?

A

obstruction of urinary flow

19
Q

What is the pathogenesis of prerenal AKI?

A

decreased effective renal perfusion -> increased Ang II and vasporessin -> increased reabsorption of sodium -> conc. urine -> oliguria

20
Q

What is the most common cause of renal AKI?

A

ATN ->acute tubular necrosis

21
Q

What are the morphologic features of ATN?

A
tubular dilation
attenuation of tubular epithelium
loss of epithelial cell brush border
granular cast material
miotic figures
22
Q

What is ATN:Tubular regeneration?

A

following ATN tubular regneration occurs in coordianted fashion
sublethally injried eithelial cells repop the tubules

23
Q

What is fractional excretion of sodium?

A

expressed as amount of sodium exccreted normally 1%

24
Q

What is the equation for fractional excretion of sodium?

A

(UNaPcr)/(PnaUcr)

25
Q

What is acute interstitial nephritis cause?

A

inflammation of renal tubules and interstitium

  • casued by HSN
  • Infxns
  • Autoimmune disease
26
Q

What are the morphological features of acute interstitial nephritis?

A

inflammation and edema of interstitium with involvement of tubulues
may see granulomas

27
Q

What are acute pyelonephritis?

A

acute inflammation of kidney due to a bacterial infection

typical urinary tract pathogens

28
Q

What are the predisposing conditions of pyelonephritis?

A
urinary obstruction
urinary instrumentation
vesicoureteral reflux
pregnancy
diabetes
29
Q

What is muliple myeloma related to renal failure?

A
develops in 25% of pts
chronic renal failure results from
-direct tubular toxicity
tubular obstruction
interstitial inflammation
30
Q

What is the myeloma cast nephropathy treatment?

A

acutely, hydrationa and urinary alkalinization to prevent tubular obstroction by casts
chemotherapy or stem cell transplantion

31
Q

What is medial fibromuscular dysplasia?

A

alternating thinned media nad thickened fibromusuclar ridges

32
Q

What is the treatment for renal artery stenosis?

A

surgical revascularization
angioplasty and stenting
medical management

33
Q

What can cause renal artery stenosis?

A

atherosclerosis or FMD

34
Q

How does renal artery stenosis present?

A

resistant HTN or kidney dysfunction often after ACE-I or ARB
