Intro to Renal Pathology- Herrera Flashcards
kidney receives ____ of cardiac output
25%
functions of kidney
A Wet Bed
small kidney that formed abnormally
hypoplastic
normal kidney that shrunk
atrophic
kidney vasculature and glomeruli
space b/t parietal (bowman’s capsule) and visceral epithelial cells (podocytes) of renal corpuscle
urinary space
what is a good hallmark you are inside glomerular capillary
RBC’s
visceral epithelial made up of what
podocytes
direction of filtrate
fenestrated endothelia
glomerular basement membrane
filtration slits of podocytes
first structure to react to stimuli and last one to go back to normal; holds capillaries in place
mesangial cells
anything on top of capillary wall=
subepithelial
below capillary wall=
subendothelial
learn picture
3 layers of glomerular basement membrane
- lamina rara interna
- lamina densa
- lamina rara externa
capillaries with RBC’s in them
mesangial cell on left side of pic
urinary space b/t capillaries
collagen ___ makes up GBM
IV
___ and ___ proteins participate in filtration slit diaphragms of podocytes
NEPH and FAT
greater than 2 mesangial cells seen between capillaries
hypercellularity
Contractile cells
Plasticity
Eat up and destroy what gets in
First structure that reacts and the last to come to normal
Mesangial cells
3 parts of kidney to look at when diagnosing renal disease
- glomeruli
- tubules/interstitium
- vasculature
worse prognosis when disease reaches ____
vasculature (and the other 2 areas affected)
______ glomerulopathy – Kidney (glomerulus) only or predominant organ involved
primary
_____ glomerulopathy – Glomeruli injured in the course of systemic diseases
secondary
presence of immune complexes; w/ or w/out inflammation
glomerulonephritis
immune complexes can injure glomeruli by 2 ways:
be formed there
circulate and get trapped there
