Nephrology Flashcards
Newborn Cr 83. Is that mother’s Cr or baby’s?
Mother’s.
- 2nd half of gestation fetus + mom Cr equilibrate Thus birth Cr= mother - usually see drop by 1 wk - GFR estimated by serum Cr - Rise in > 20= RF - vs BUN affect hydration
What anomaly is most likely to be seen with single umb. artery:
- renal
- cardiac
- other
Renal anomaly
Increased risk of renal agenesis
Absent left kidney. Right small. Will this progress to ESRD?
YES - in Childhood
Chronic kidney disease and RF. Most likely category if < 5 y.o. RF or > 5 y.o.
< 5= congenital anomaly
- renal hypoplasia, dysplasia, obstructive anomaly, prune belly syn
> 5= acquired or inherited
- glomerulonephritis, SLE, alport syndrome, cystinosis
List 5 findings with kidney failure:

What is true of multi cystic kidney disease:
- VUR chance
- inherited
- hematuria
- early HTN
Chance of VUR
NOT inherited \++++ cysts Most common abdo mass in newborn HTN rare No hematuria (PCKD more) Associated: Contralateral UPJ, hypoplasia F/U US and BP See kidney f'n and if bad kidney involute (usually by 3 y.o.) Small malignancy risk.
Versus PCKD:
- inherited
- hematuria, RF in early childhood
- HTN
- resp +/- liver complication
