Nephrology and Urology Flashcards
2 phases of parenteral rehydration
- Emergency phase
2. Repletion phase
what is given during emergency phase
normal saline (20) lactated Ringers
Hypernatremic dehydration
done over 48 hours to minimize risk of cerebral edema
hyponatremic or isonatremid redehydration
over 24 hours
how does oral dehydration work
absorption of electrolytes is enhanced by active absorption of glucose
what can cause a false-negative result urinary dipstick
ascorbic acid ( vitamin C)
what does urinary dipstick detect
RBC, protein in urine
Most accurate method of detecting proteinuria? but in children….
24 hours urinary protein collection
- random spot urine total protein-to-creatine ration
orthostatic protienuria
protein excretion upright but not supine
- benign
what in the urine will indicate tubular proteinuria
- beta2-microglobulin
2. glucosuria and aminoaciduria
signs of acute nephritic syndrome
- gross hematuria
- hypertension
- fluid overload from renal insufficiency
Less common causes of postinfectious glomerulonephritis are
HIV
Hep B and C
Low serum levels of what is found in post streptococcal glomerulonephritis
complement
renal biopsy for post streptococcal glomerulonephritis shows
mesangial cell proliferation
increased mesangial matrix
antibiotic use of Strep throat reduces the risk of what
rheumatic fever not kidney problem
most common chronic glomerulonephritis worldwide
IgA nephropathy
what ethnic groups get IgA nephropathy
Asia
Australia
Native Americans
clinical feature of IgA nephropathy
gross hematuria
respiratory infections
Management of IgA nephropathy
supportive
Henoch-Schonlein purpura
IgA-mediated vasculitis
- palpable purpura on buttocks/ thigh
- abdominal pain
- arthritis
- hematuria
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
lobular mesangial hypercellularity
thickening of glomerular basement membrane
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis management
no definitive treatment
most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome
minimal change disease
clinical feature of nephrotic proteinuria
edema followed by upper respiratory infection
