Q

Nephritic syndrome:

Occurs 2 days after infection pt gets recurrent gross hematuria. Dx? Rx?

A

Immune Complex:

IgA nephropathy.

No immunosuppressive therapy. (genetic mutation )

Rx with ACE/ARB for proteinuria.

17
Q

Nephritic syndrome: Most common childhood vasculitis that occurs after URIs. Pt presents with abdominal pain, palpable purpura, proteinuria. Dx? Rx?

A

Immune Complex:
IgA Vasculitis.

Self-limiting no treatment

18
Q

High Dose Steroids, IV Cyclophosphamide or Mycophenolate mofetil
Class I and II no therapy.

19
Q

Nephritic syndrome that occurs 2 weeks after URI or 4 weeks after skin infection? Rx?

A

Immune Complex:
Infection related glomerulonephritis.

Rx underlying infection.

20
Q

Common in whites.
Nephrotic syndrome associated with Phospholipase A2.

Secondary causes are Hep B, SLE, NSAIDs, Solid tumor, Lymphoma. Dx? Rx?

A

Membranous glomerulopathy.

Steroids and cyclophosphamide or calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus)

21
Q

Medication to manage recurrent stone disease?

A

HCTZ in patients who have hypercalciuria (familial) with no related hypercalcemia causing the hypercalciuria.

22
Q

Management of pts diagnosed with Primary Minimal Change Glomerulopathy ?

What is it associated with?

A

Observe for 6 to 12 months while on Conservative Therapy (RAS blockade, Statin, edema management) allow time for Spontaneous Reemission.

Hodgkin and NONHodgkin lymphoma.
Occurs in children and older adults (RARE).

23
Q

Which disorders manifest with Metabolic Alkalosis, Hypovolemia and Low urinary chloride ?

A

Vomiting
NG tube suction
Diuretic use

They are saline responsive.

24
Q

Emergent treatment for Hypermagnesium?

A

IV Ca2+

25
Q

To determine pre-renal AKI from ATN what lab should be ordered?

A

Urine microscopy

To look granular cast - evidence of ATN

26
Q

Stones that form with persistently elevate urine PH > 5.5, Amorphous Crystal are shown.

A

Calcium Phosphate

27
Q

Dumbbell shape Monohydrate Crystals and Envelope- Shaped Crystals

A

Calcium Oxalate Crystals.

Associated with IBD.

28
Q

Difference btw light chain cast nephropathy and NSAID nephropathy?

A

Light chain cast nephropathy will have elevated urine protein to creatinine ratio but minimal protein on urine dipstick.

Dipstick detects albumin only and not light chains.

29
Q

Management of type 1 Hepatorenal Syndrome?

A

Restrict diuretics, sodium, water in hyponatremics, search for precipitating factors.

Give vasoconstrictors (octreotide and oral midodrine) and IV albumin.

30
Q

Management of new onset gross hematuria and unexplained flank pain with kidney US showing 2 bilateral solid masses ?

A

Bilateral radical nephrectomy

31
Q

What is the delta ratio?

A

Change in anion gap / change in bicarb (AG-12/25-HCO3)
< 1 there is concurrent normal anion gap acidosis.
> 2 there is concurrent metabolic alkalosis.

32
Q

In a chronic respiratory alkalosis, with every decrease in 10 of the PC02? How much does the bicarb lower?

A

4-5

33

Nephrotic Syndrome:
1. Associated with obesity, heroin HIV

  1. Associated with solid tumors, NSAIDs, Hep B, lupus nephritis
  2. Associated NSAIDs and Lymphoma
  3. Associated with Hep C/Cryoglobulinemia, monoclonal gammopathy
  4. Associated with lupus nephritis
  5. Associated with upper respiratory tract infection.
A
  1. Focal Segmental glomerulosclerosis
  2. Membranous Nephropathy
  3. Minimal Change disease
  4. Membranoproliferative GN
  5. Diffuse proliferative GN
