LESSON 4: PATHOLOGY OF THE URINARY SYSTEM Flashcards
What are the major systemic effects affecting renal function ff. injury or obstruction
- azotemia
- uremia
- plasma protein loss
- Water/electrolyte & acid/base imbalance
- Hyperthyroidism
- Retention of drugs
what is the ratio of cortex: medulla in domestic animals
1:2 to 1:3
produced in the kidneys in response to reduced oxygen tension stimulates bone marrow to produce erythrocytes
Erythropoietin
produced by cells in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, stimulates the production of angiotensin that constrict afferent arterioles, maintain renal blood pressure & stimulate aldosterone secretion from adrenal glands, thus increasing sodium reabsorption
renin
this is converted in the kidney to it’s most active form, this facilitates calcium absorption by the intestine
Vit D
what is the active form of VitD
1,25dihydroxycholecalciferol
wat are the 2 renal failure?
- Azothemia
- Uremia
intravascular elevation of nitrogenous wastes
Azothemia
prescence of excess accumulation in the blood, normally eliminated in the urine that produces a severe toxic condition. Occur in severe kidney disease
Uremia
cause of death due to renal failure results from;
- cardiotoxicity of increased serum
- otassium
- metabolic acidosis
- pulmonary edema
altered calcium-phosphorus activity has what type of lesions
Fibrons osteodystrophy & soft tissue mineralization
increased erythrocyte fragility & lack of erythropoeitin production
Hypoplastic anemia
what is the mechanism of atrial & aortic thrombosis
endothelial & subendothelial damage
What is the mechanism of ulcerative & necrotic stomatitis
ammonia secretion in saliva & vascular necrosis
what is the mechanism of ulcerative & h hemorrhagic gastritis
Ammonia secretion & vascular necrosis
what is the mechanism of fibrinous pericarditis &fibrinous pericarditis
Increased vascular permeability
failure of development of one or both kidneys
renal aplasia
renal aplasia can be seen in?
doberman & beagle dogs
incomplete development of kidneys, that can be inherited by purebred or crossbred large white pigs.
Renal hypoplasia
abnormality of differentiation
renal dysplasia
misplaced from normal sub-lumbar location
ectopic & fused kidneys
is not clinically significant
renal cysts
excretion of large quantities of cystine in the urine
cystinuria
inherited in Norwegian elkhound, the capacity to reabsorbed glucose is reduced.
glucosuria
are areas of coagulative necrosis that result from ischemia of vascular occlusion usually due to thrombosis & aseptic emboli.
Renal infarcts
results from widespread thrombosis that occur in 1. glomerular capillaries
2. interlobular arteries
3. afferent arterioles in DIC
Renal cortical necrosis
this can occur in association w/ many septicemic disease & result from vasculitis or vascular necrosis
Renal cortical hemorrhage
petechiae are common in the surface/cortex in?
- hog cholera
- african swine fever
3, erysipelas - streptococcal infections
- salmonella infections
a result of ischemic or toxic insult to renal tubular cells
Nehrosis or acute tubular necrosis
decreased urine production
oliguria
absence of urine
anuria
cause of acute tubular necrosis
- severe hypotension w/ shock
- complete ischemia for 2 hours
- prolonged ischemia
- rbc stromal component toxicity
- mercury, lead
- antibacteria/fungal agents
- excessive/prolonged vit d. suplementation
are complex compementary tufts where main function is to form a filtrate of plasma excreted in the lower urinary tract as urine.
Glomeruli
protein losing nephropathy or presence of protein particularly albumin in urine. The presence of albumin inidicate damage of glomeruli.
proteinuria
damage to glomerular filtration barrier can result in renal disease
- leakage of various low molecular weight protein into glomerular filtrate/urine
- proteinuria
seen in diabetes mellitus
gluomerulosclerosis
depsits in renal glomeruli
amyloidosis
interstitial inflammation
tubulointerstitial nephritis
