Q

Three methods of examining renal tissue and their uses?

A

Q

Disease to assc with horseshoe kidney?

A

Turners, although definitely not all horseshoe kidney patients have Turners, incidence is just higher in that population.

37
Q

Cause of 5-10% chronic kidney disease?

A

ADPKD, just as common as horseshoe kidneys

38
Q

polycystin 1 + 2 are what type of proteins and cause which diseases?

A

polycsystin 1 mutation = PKD type 1
polycystin 2 mutation = PKD type 2
*Both code for integral membrane proteins and lead to poor cell-cell/ cell-matrix interactions = POOR TUBULAR GROWTH + ABNORMAL ECM = TUBULAR CYSTS

39
Q

What chromosome is assc with PKD1? PKD2?

A

PKD1-chromosome 16p (more common, higher number)

PKD2- chromosome 4 (2X2=4)

40
Q

PDK1/2
Which is more severe?
More common?
Has older age of onsent?

A

PKD1: earlier onset severe disease (50s), more common AND more severe
PKD2 severe disease presents in late 60s

41
Q

Result of tubular cysts in ADPKD (3)

A
  • interstitial inflammation
  • vascular damage
  • enlarged cystic kidneys w/ functioning tubules b/n cysts
  • Cysts seen on EXTERNAL surface
42
Q

ADPKD PE findings:

What is the cause of the pain?

A
  • palpable kidneys
  • hematuria (hemorrhaging into cysts) and CVA tenderness
  • pain is caused by enlarging/ clot passing cysts
43
Q

Three extrarenal findings that MAY BE assc with ADPKD

A

-liver cysts
-Berry aneurysms
-heart valve anomalies
(only in smaller percentages of patients)

Which are more common?
What is the result?

A
  • perinatal, neonatal, infantile, juvenile
  • *more common are perinatal, neonatal
  • see death in utero/ sometimes at birth due to - **PULMONARY HYPOPLASIA ensues
47
