Q

what are the laboratory tests should be run with suspected RCC?

A
  • hematuria (in 60% of cases)
  • paraneoplastic syndromes
  • erythrocytosis from increased erythropoietin production in 5% (but anemia far more common)

Q

what imaging studies should be preforms with suspected RCC?

A
  • solid renal mass on abdominal US or CT
  • CT and MRI scan most valuable (they confirm character of mass, stage the lesion)
  • chest radiographs for pulm metastasis
  • bone scans for large tumors, bone pain, elevated alkaline phosphatase

Q

what are the examples of familial glomerulonephritis?

A
  • thin basement membrane disease

- hereditary nephritis (Alport synd)

17
Q

What are the clinical manifestation of IgA nephropathy?

A
  • episodic gross hematuria that occurs during upper respiratory infection
18
Q

What are the clinical manifestation of IgA nephropathy?

A
  • episodic gross hematuria that occurs during upper respiratory infection
  • RBC casts with negative serologies for other glomerulonephridities
19
Q

how is a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy confirmed?

A

kidney biopsy showing iGa deposits in the mesangium

20
Q

what does the Oxford IgA nephropathy MEST classification

A

Messangial hypercellularity
Endocapillary hypercellularity
Segmental glomerulosclerosis
Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis

21
Q

what is the prognosis of IgA nephropathy?

A

excellent with normal function and low proteinuria

NOTE: kidney biopsy is restricted to patients with sustained proteinuria .1g/day or worsening kidney function

22
Q

what lab tests should be run with suspected IgA nephropathy?

A
  • UA (demonstrating protein, RBC, and RBC casts
  • serum creatinine may be elevated
  • urine protein-tocreatinine ration (reveals mild increases in proteinuria)
  • serum IgA (elevated in only 50% of patients, has little clinical utility)
23
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of medullary sponge kidney?

A
  • present at birht, not diagnosed until fourth or fifth decade
  • kidneys have marked irregular enlargement of medullary and interpapillary collecting ducts
  • gross or microscopic hematuria
  • recurrent UTI’s
  • nephrolithiasis (calcium phosphate and calcium oxalate stones)
  • decreased urinary concentrating ability and nephrocalcinosis
