94
Q

things that can “insult” the kidneys

  • Preceding pharyngitis – post-Strep Glomerular nephritis (GN)-
96
Q

what are some ways to assess volume status?

What do oval fat bodies and fatty casts indicate in urine?

A

minimal change disease focal (albuminuria)

99
Q

what do muddy brown casts in urine indicate?

A

tubular epithethial injury–ischemic (tubular proteinuria)

100

105
Q

A 42 year male is admitted to the SICU after sustaining multiple trauma. His course is complicated by Enterobacter sepsis with profound hypotension requiring support with intravenous dopamine. The urine output has gradually decreased to only 300 ml per day. The urine sodium is 78. Urine sediment showing multiple muddy brown granular casts. what does he have?
