Nephrolithiasis Flashcards
dietary factors that lead to nephrolithiasis
low fluid intake, calcium, K
high oxalate, protein, Na, sugar drinks
hipercalciuria= droga =tiazidicos-diminuir proteina, sodio, acucar e ingesta de calcio adequada
hiperoxaluira-diminuir a ingestao de oxalato, aumentar a ingesta de calcio,evitar vitamina c- piridoxina
hiperuricosuria= evitar purinas= inibidor da xantila oxilase
hipocitraturia= citrato de k, diminuir a ingesta de proteina, aumentar ingesta de frutas e vegetais

Inhibitors of stone formation
magnesium
, citrate
, pyrophosphate→retards the crystal growth of CaP and CaOx crystals by binding to the surface of basic CaP crystals
THprotein

THProtein
Tamm-Horsfall protein and uromodulin are two names for the same gene.
Casts only form in the distal tubule & collecting duct, not in the proximal tubule. What is its function?
- Tamm-Horsfall protein acts as a constitutive inhibitor of calcium-based stone formation. Mice deficient for Tamm-Horsfall protein show an increased tendency towards nephrolithiasis.
- Tamm-Horsfall protein acts to prevent urinary tract infection. There is some data that certain strains of E. coli may be bound by Tamm-Horsfall protein; once cleaved this could represent a means of eliminating the organism from the urinary tract.
- Mutations in Tamm-Horsfall protein cause the autosomal dominant disorder medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCDK2) as well as the disorder familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN) . This is a pediatric-onset disease characterized by hyperuricemia, gout, and progressive renal failure. Interestingly it appears that the pathophysiologic mechanism here is that mutations in this gene lead to defects in protein folding and intracellular deposition of mutant Tamm-Horsfall protein.

Urease producing bacteria are associated with the formation of?
Magnesium ammonium phosphate stone (Struvite).
.Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) stones are typically largestones associated with urease producing bacteria and an alkaline urine4
. Ureabreakdown produces excess ammonium and hydroxyl ions, a rise in urinary pH,and a decrease in phosphate solubility thus encouraging the precipitation of insoluble magnesium ammonium phosphate
Common bacteria producing urease
Proteus
Haemophilus
Pseudomonas
Klebsiella
Yersinia
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Citrobacter, Serratia and UreaplasmaurealyciumNote: E.coli does not produce urease
oxalato de calcio
Calcium oxalate dihydrate – enveloped shaped crystals
Calcium oxalate monohydrate – dumbbell, spindle shaped crystals
The mainstain of treatment of calcium oxalate stones is to increase fluid intake to reach the goal of at least 2 L of urine output per day.
A reduction in calcium excretion by a low sodium diet (80-100 meg/day) may also be suggested.
Low sodium excretion will enhance proximal sodium and calcium absorption, thereby decreasing urinary calcium excretion and stone formation.
Drug therapy can also be added depending on the cause. If there is hypercalciuria, thiazide diuretics may be helpful.
Potassium citrate can be used in cases of hypocitraturia and type 1 renal tubular acidosis.
For hyperuricosuria, treatment of choice would be allopurinol or potassium citrate.

epidemiologia nefrolitiase
Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) will occur in 12% of men and 5% of women during their lifetime. 1 em cada dez pessoas apresentara
The major types of stones are calcium (70%-80%, oxalate more common thanphosphate), uric acid (5%-10%), cystine (<1%), and magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) (10%).Combined calcium/urate stones are also often seen
A patient with a calcium-containing stone episode has anoverall 50% chance of recurrence within 10 years, which is higher for men than for women. Some patients willhave many recurrent stones, leading to substantial morbidity, medical costs, and even mortality

dent disease
is a rare, X-linked inherited disease of pediatric nephrology. It can be filed under the category of “renal tubular dysfunction” and is also known as “X-linked Recessive Nephrolithiasis.”
Clinical characteristics of Dent Disease include recurrent renal stones, nephrocalcinosis, hypercalciuria, low molecular weight proteinuria, and a gradual progression to ESRD, usually within childhood.
The disease is caused by mutations in the gene CLCN5, a chloride channel present in proximal tubular cells which appears to be necessary for the processing of endosomes. It is not clear why these individuals are so predisposed to nephrolithiasis and hypercalciuria. There is no good therapy for Dent Disease, though a logical case could be made for treating with oral citrate supplementation and thiazide diuretics in an attempt to mitigate hypercalciuria and delay the nephrocalcinosis-induced renal failure as much as possible.

drpad
Patients with ADPKD are predisposed to nephrolithiasis. The postulated reasons for this increased prevalence of stone disease have ranged from metabolic abnormalities (previous reports have shown an increased tendency for hyperoxaluria, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, hyperuricosuria, and distal RTA) to anatomic abnormalities (large, obstructing cysts and dilated tubular lumens may create a situation of tubular stasis, which predisposes to stone formation).
