Lecture 20: Urinary pathology 1 Flashcards
what are the 4 basic components in urinary tract
- Kidney
- Ureter
- Bladder
- Urethra
male or female: shorter urinary tract
females
Identify species that match kidney structure 1-7
- Dog
- Cat
- Horse
- Pig
- Goat/sheep
- Cow
- Right kidney of horse
what species is this a normal urinary bladder in
horse
what species have a unilobular/unipyramidal kidney
cats, dogs, small ruminants horse
what species have a multi lobular/ multi pyramidal kidney
cattle, pigs
what is the functional unit of the kidney
nephron
what are the 4 main components of the kidney in renal disease
- Glomeruli
- Tubules
- Interstitium
- Blood vessels
what structures are located in cortex of kidney
proximal and distal convoluted tubules, glomeruli
what structure is located in medulla of kidney
LOH
what structure is located in cortex and medulla of kidney
collecting duct
what part of the kidney is susceptible to hypoxic injury
medulla
what are some functions of kidney
- Remove waste
- Regulates hydration
- Acid-base
- Hormone production- EPO, vitamin D, renin, prostaglandin E2
- Controls systemic blood pressure and volume
- Indirect erythrocyte production
what is function of lower urinary tract
- Transport waste from kidney to exterior
- Short term storage
what is uremia
clinical syndrome of renal failure
what is azotemia
elevated BUN and creatinine
what 3 general conditions cause azotemia
- Pre-renal- reduced renal blood flow and glomerular filtration
- Renal- insufficient renal function
- Postrenal-obstruction
what is GFR
rate at which blood passes through glomeruli
what is most important parameter of renal function
GFR
when notice renal failure GFR is ___% normal + uremia
20-25%
end stage renal disease GRF <__% normal and terminal uremia
5%
what are some signs of acute renal failure
rapid onset of low or no urine production (oliguria/anuria) +azotemia
t or f: acute renal disease may be reversible
true
Acute or chronic renal disease
Acute- pale, swollen
