Exam 2 Tubular and Interstitial Diseases Flashcards
What are causes of primary tubulointerstitial Nephritis
Infections: acute, chronic, other toxins: even acute Hypersensitivity interstitial nephritis Metabolic diseases physical factors: chronic obstruction Neoplasms: bence jones proteins Immunologic reactions vascular diseases misc
tubulointerstitial npehritis has was general presentations almost always
well inability to concentrate urine so have abnormal specific gravity and polyuria
what is the damage from ischemic acute tubulo injury on cell processes
damage to the proximal tubule brush borders
what will mercuric chloride poisoning look like in tubules
cell shave large acidophilic inclusions
totally necrotic calcification
what are the morphologic changes in kidneys after carbon tetrachloride poisoning
accumulation of neutral lipids in the cells
majority of UTI are due to what bacteria?
enteric bacteria (gram neg) E coli, proteus, klebsiella, enterobacter, strep faecalis, staph
cystitis is what and usually caued by what
inflammation of urinary bladder mucosa
95% bacterial
What is acute pyelonephritis
acute bacterial infection of kidney
what is the biggest risk with chronic pyelonephritis
can lead to ESRD
what does chronic pyelonephritis damage
the pelvis, calyceal system and parenchyma resulting in anatomic distortion
What is a predisposing anatomic defect to pyelonephritis
vesicoureteral reflux and assoc with intrarenal reflux
what are predisposing medical conditions for pyelonephritis
DM, pregnancy
what is the most common mechanism of pyelonephrtisis
ascending infection from lower urinary tract
describe cases where acute pyelonephritis might occur via hematogenous infection
due to septicemia or infective endocarditis
more likely if there is a ureteral obstruction, or immunocompromised
What is the infrarenal reflux
open ducts at tip of papillae
most common in upper and lower poles of kidney
papillae are flattened or concave tips at these spots
what are complications of acute pyelonephritis
papillary necrosis, pyonephrosis, perinephric abscess
what is bladder outlet obstruction assoc with
prostatic hypertrophy
what type of necrosis is papillary necrosis
coagulative
gray white yellow necrosis
tubule outlines preserved
What is pyonephrosis
when there is complete obstruction high in tract.
the pus cannot drain and fills the renal pelvis, calyces and ureter with pus
what is a perinephric abscess
pus moves through renal capsule to the perinephric tissue
What occurs in the healing phase of acute pyelonephritis
Neutrophils are replaced by macrophages, plasma cells and lymphocytes
What is the problem with a scar after pyelonephritis
associated with inflammation, fibrosis and deformation of underlying calyx and pelvis
what is clinical presentation of acute pyelonephritis
sudden onset pain at CVA, systemic evidence of infection (fever, malaise)
