Q

When can you calculate GFR?

A

only when creatinine is in a steady state

do NOT calculate if creatinine has changed over past couple days

Q

What is the preferred formula for GFR?

A

2021 CKD-EPI formula

16
Q

What is the preferred formula for GFR in children?

A

Schwartz formula

17
Q

How can creatinine be misleading?

A

could look normal but is actually high if they have low muscle mass

18
Q

What can you use to estimate GFR if you cannot use creatinine?

A

cystatin C (best option)

24 hr creatinine clearance (hard to measure)

19
Q

What findings indicate glomerular damage?

A

RBC casts and proteinuria

20
Q

What are the 2 types of glomerular damage?

A

nephritic or nephrotic

21
Q

Nephritic syndrome

A

HTN and proteinuria (but lower than in nephrotic syndrome)

22
Q

Nephrotic syndrome

A

high proteinuria, more edema and hypoalbuminemia

23
Q

Why does nephrotic syndrome cause hypoalbuminemia?

A

nephrotic syndrome has high proteinuria

albumin is the most abundant protein in urine

so, having lots of proteinuria leads to low serum albumin levels

24
Q

Glomerular proteinuria

A

mainly albumin

impairment of glomerular basement membrane

25
Q

Tubular proteinuria

A

impaired reabsorption of proteins

seen in heavy metal poisioning

see low weight proteins in urine

26
Q

Overflow proteinuria

A

mass excretion of low weight proteins

hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, etc.

27
Q

Post-renal proteinuria

A

problems below the kidney like inflammation, bleeding and malignancy

28
Q
A
