IL Renal Review & Cystic Diseases--Leah** Flashcards
Vertebral level of the kidneys?
T12-L3
ONE TWO THREE; THERES THE KIDNEE!
*Note that left kidney is slightly higher than right and that left renal vein is longer than right.
Renal Blood Flow is ______% of total cardiac output?
20%
Outermost two parts of kidney
-cortex, then columns which are BETWEEN the pyramids.
Describe flow of urine from the medullae to the ureters
medullas –> pyramids –> calyces –> pelvis –> ureter
Within the renal pelvis there are _____.
renal papillae
Describe the 7 parts of a nephron:
-glomerulus/ bowmans capsule –> PT –> thin descending loop –> thick asecending loop –> Distal convoluted tubule –> connecting tubule –> collecting duct
Vascular system surrounding the loops of henle:
vasa recta, collects any H2O secreted from thin descending loop
artery that feeds into the afferent arteriole?
arcuate artery
Vessels that enter and exit the glomerulus?
- afferent enters glomerulus
- efferent exits
microscopic structures seen in the renal cortex?
glomeruli
microscopic structures seen in the renal medullae?
straight portions of tubules and collecting ducts
Definition of azotemia
-decreased GFR –> elevated Cr and BUN
Definition of uremia
-essentially azotemia, but must have manifestation of renal disease in OTHER organ systems as well
three types of azotemia
pre-renal, renal, post-renal
- pre: reduced renal perfusion, not renal malfunction
- renal: intrinsic renal disease
- post: downstream urine obstruction
Two examples of post-renal azotemia
-BPH, stone
Two examples of pre-renal azotemia
-hypovolemic shock, CHF
Example of uremia
fibrinous pericarditis secondary to presence of circulating nitrogenous compounds in blood
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is assc with what change?
-rapid GFR decrease
How does acute kidney injury manifest?
Reversible?
- rapid GFR decrease
- oliguria, anuria
- azotemia
- usually reversible
Chronic Kidney Disease definition
- common end point of renal disease
- GFR less than 60 for at least 3 months
End Stage Renal Disease definition
GFR five or less, will need dialysis
Renal Tubular Diseases cause
electrolyte derangement, polyuria
What is a UTI called if it effects the kidney? The bladder?
- kidney: pyelonephritis
- bladder: cystitis
What is Nephrolithiasis?
How does it present?
- kidney stone
- pain and hematuria
Four tissue types that may be effected by renal disease?
- tubules
- glomeruli
- interstitium
- vasculature
Diffuse, focal, segmental, and global are used to describe?
- location of disease involvement
- diffuse vs focal refers to location in kidney
- segmental vs global refers to location in glomeruli
