Q

Metanephric mesenchyme and utereric bud interact

A

the interaction induces differentiation and formation of glomerulus through to distal convoluted tubule, if the interaction goes wrong –> congenital malformations

Q

horse shoe kidney

A
  • inferior poles of both kidneys fuse
  • as the ascend from pelvis during fetal development they get trapped under the IMA and remain low in the abdomen.

Q

multicystic dysplastic kidney

A

-due to abnormal interaction of the ureteruc bud and the metanephric mesenchyme —> cysts and connective tissue issues and non functioning kindey, can be seen on US

Q

What do we use to estimate the GFR? why?

A

Creatinine
GFR = clearance of creatinine = UV/P
it is freely filtered, not reasorbed and not secreted, well just a tiny bit of secretion

Q

What do we use to measure RPF?

A

PAH, to measure the ERPF = UV/P = clearance of PAH
RBF= RPF (1-hct)
PAH is both filtered and actively secreted in the proximal tubule, nearly all PAH entering the kidney is excreted

A

autosomal recessive disorder

A
  • reabsorption defect in PT
  • assoc with increase excretion of nearly all amino acids, glucose, HCO3 and PO4

17
Q

Bartter sydrome

A
  • reabsorption defect in thick ascending loop
  • Na/K/2Cl transporter, autosomal recessive
  • lead to hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis with hypercalciura (Mg and Ca will not be reabsorbed)
18
Q

Gitelman syndrome

A
  • autosomal recessive
  • DCT
  • Na/Cl channel defect
  • like a thiazide so more calcium resorbed
  • hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis
19
Q

Liddle syndrome

A

Autosomal dominant

  • increased Na reabsorption in distal and collecting tubules (increased activity of the Na channel)
  • result in HTN
  • hypokalemia
  • metabolic alkalosis
  • decrease aldosterone
    treat: amiloride
20
Q

Where is EPO made?

A

interstitial cells in the peritubular capillary bends

21
Q

Where does vitamin D get activated?

A

Proximal tubule

22
Q

What affect does prostaglandins have on the kidney?

A

paracrene sections vasodilate the AFFERENT arterioles leading to increase RBF.
-so if we have NSAIDS this will block the renal protective prostaglandin and lead to decreased GFR which may result in renal failure

23
Q

Anion gap metabolic acidosis

MUDPILES

A
methanol
uremia
diabetic ketoacidosis
propylene glycol
iron tablets or INH
lactic acidosis
ethylene gylcol
salicylate toxicity late
24
Q

normal anion gap metabolic acidosis

HARD-ASS

A
Hyperalimentation
addison disease
renal tubular acidosis
diarrhea
acetazolamide
spirinolactone
saline infusion
25
Q

Type 1 distal renal tubular acidosis urine ph>5.5 (but the serum is metabolic acidosis)

A

defect in a-intercalated cells to secrete H+ via the H+ATPase, thus no new HCO is generated. Since the lumen remains “-ve” more K is secreted –> hypokalemia
-increase urine pH has increase risk for calcium phosphate kindey stones

causes? amphoteriblecinB, analgesics, MM and obstructions

26
Q

Type 2 proximal renal tubular acidosis urine pH<5.5

A

defect in PT HCO3 reabsorption results in increase secretion of HCO3 in urine and subsequent metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia.

  • the urine is acidified by a intercalated cells in the CT
  • increased risk for hypophosphatemic rickets
  • causes fanconi syndome, chemical toxins (lead, aminogylcosides), CA inhibitors
27
Q

Type IV renal tubular acidosis “hyperkalemic”

A
  • hypoaldosteronism, aldosterone resistance, or K+ sparring diuretics, ENAC issue
  • result in hyperkalemia
28
Q

Calcium kidney stones

A
  • decrease pH calcium phosphate
  • increase pH calcium oxalate
  • radioopaque

crystal: envelope of dumbbell shaped
- promoted by hypercalciuria
- oxalate cyrsals can be from ethelene glycol, vitamin C or crohns disease

treat: citrate, thiazides

29
Q

Ammonium magnesium phosphate (stuuvite) stone

A
  • increased pH precipitation
  • radioopaque
  • coffin lid shaped cystals
  • caused by infection with urease + bugs (proteus, staph, kleb) –> alkalization
  • can form staghorn caliculi
    treat: erradication of infection and surgical removal of stone
30
Q

Uric acid stones

A
  • decreased pH precipitates
  • RADIOLUCENT but can be seen on ultrasound, CT
    assoc. with hyperuricemia, leukemia treatments

treat: alkaline the urine

31
Q

Cystine stones (cystine is cysteine -S-cysteine)

A
  • cystinuria, Autosomal recessive, defect in PT amino acid transporter (cysteine, ornithine, arginine)
  • sodium nitroprusside test

treat: alkalinize the urine and hydration

32

  2. maintenance phase- oliguric; lasts 1-3 weeks; risk of hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis
  3. recovery phase-polyuric; BUN and serum creatinine fall; risk of hypokalemia
38
