Q

Because early diabetes constricts the (1) more than the (2) it leads to (3) in the earliest stage.

A
  1. efferent arteriole 2. afferent arteriole 3. greater hydrostatic pressure and filtration rate than normal
18
Q

(1) generally takes 10-15 years to develop and happens because of deposition of increased (2) in the (3)

A
  1. microangiopathy 2. extracellular matrix proteins 3. glomerular capillary basement membrane and mesangium
19
Q

The second stage of diabetic nephropathy involves (1) but does not usually have albuminuria.

A
  1. thickened basement membrane and mesangium
20
Q

Because glycation of proteins is another mechanism which leads to (1), it is useful to have an indicator of the degree of protein modification which occurs in diabetics. (2) is a marker which is used to determine the amount of glucose as well as glycation which has occurred over a period of time as an assay to see how well controlled a diabetic patient’s glucose levels have been over time.

A
  1. hyalinization 2. Glycated hemoglobin or Hemoglobin (Hb) A1c
21
Q

Histologically the vascular lesions within large arteries consist of (1) changes, whereas the vascular lesions in later stages of diabetes affect both afferent and efferent arterioles producing a (2) deposition of matrix materials from (3) products or a proliferative response within the blood vessel which further occludes the lumen.

A
  1. atherosclerotic 2. hyaline 3. sorbitol or glycation
22
Q

Increased matrix deposition in microangiopathy occurs as a consequence of (1) which either produce more (2) metabolites or more (3) proteins

A
  1. increased glucose levels 2. glycolytic 3. glycated
23
Q

Once the GFR falls to low levels, the sympathetic nervous system can directly activate the (1) and increase sodium reabsorption by increasing levels of (2)

A
  1. renin-angiotensin system 2. aldosterone.
24
Q

Diabetic nephropathy spans several stages between the initial effects which can actually increase (1) and end stage renal disease which requires (2).

A
  1. glomerular filtration rate 2. dialysis or transplant
25
Q

In the kidney, the glomerular capillary bed is surrounded by (1) on both sides which (2) so that as much as 20% of the (3) is filtered through the glomerulus at any given time.

A
  1. arterioles (afferent and efferent) 2. greatly increases the filtration pressure 3. renal blood flow
26
Q

thickened basement membrane and mesangium

A

second stage diabetic nephropathy

27
Q

Increased GFR

A

first stage diabetic nephropathy

28
Q

The most common microangiopathic lesion in the glomerulus is a diffuse deposition of matrix materials within the (1), which usually begin at the (2)

A
  1. glomerular capillary basement membrane and mesangium 2. vascular pole of the glomerulus (opposite Bowman’s capsule).
29
Q

macroalbuminuria, decreased GFR, and hypertension

A

fourth stage diabetic nephropathy

30
Q

The deposition in microangiopathy can lead to (1), which disrupts the glomerular filtration barrier leading to (2). This explains the development of (3) in diabetes.

A
  1. fusion of the delicate foot processes within the podocytes 2. proteinuria 3. albuminuria
31
Q

(1) are also an important contributor to diabetic kidney disease although they can often be subtler and more difficult to detect than the glomerular disease. They are caused by matrix protein deposition within the (2) leading to (3). These changes can extend into the collecting system and (4) is a complication of diabetic kidney disease.

A
  1. Tubular changes 2. tubular cells 3. hyaline (hyaline really means homogeneous) change, necrosis and loss of tubular epithelial cells 4. papillary necrosis
32
Q

In a similar manner, (1) are activated by stretching of the (2) due to congestive heart failure which increasingly fills the (2) because the left ventricle is too weak to pump out all the blood. In response to this, (3) is produced, which decreases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule

A
  1. left atrial baroreceptors 2. left atrium 3. atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
