Exam 2 renal/HTN Flashcards
decreased C3 in the setting of glomerulonephritis ddx
postinfectious GN, MPGN, lupus nephritis
normal C3 in the setting of glomerulonephritis ddx
IgA nephropathy, HSP nephritis, ANCA, Alport syndrome
most common cause of glomerulonephritis
IgA nephropathy
classic features of hemolytic uremic syndrome
microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, renal dysfunction
younger patients have ____normal creatinine levels
lower
stage 3 AKI
SCr 3x baseline or to 4.0 mg/dl or eGFR<35, or initiation of dialysis
how to classify chronic kidney disease for age <2
(urinary protein or albumin above normal value for age)
mild: 1 standard deviation below mean GFR for age
moderate: between 1 and 2
severe: more than 2
consequences of chronic kidney disease
neurocognitive problems, HTN, dyslipidemia, anemia, electrolyte abnormalities, abnormal urine output, growth failure, delayed puberty
reticulocyte count in CKD
low
treatment of growth failure in CKD
good nutrition, normalize bicarb, treat MBD, growth hormone
etiology of growth failure in CKD
metabolic acidosis, malnutrition, mineral/bone disorder, growth hormone resistant state
2 types of dialysis
hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
classic presentation of glomerulonephritis
hematuria, edema, hypertension, proteinuria
3 main categories of acute glomerulonephritis
post-infectious, IgA nephropathy, PAN
etiologies of post-infectious GN
usually strep
post-infectious GN treatment
manage fluid levels, treat HTN, rarely dialysis
how long does microscopic hematuria last after post-infectious GN
up to 1 year
when does C3 normalize after post-infectious GN
6-8 weeks
differences between IgA nephropathy and post-infectious GN
IgA occurs more rapidly after URI, with recurrent hematuria and a normal C3
IgA nephropathy presentation
abdominal pain, N/V/bloody diarrhea, foot/ankle edema, palpable purpura on lower extremities, joint inflammation/pain
hydronephrosis definition
dilation of kidney pelvis and calyces
3 major causes of postnatal hydronephrosis
transient, vesicoureteral reflux, obstruction
tests for reflux or obstruction
voiding cysto-urethrogram, renal scan
issues associated with horseshoe kidney
UTIs, obstruction, and kidney stones
nephrotic syndrome is defined by
proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia
most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children
minimal change disease
