pericarditis can be caused by
uraemia
key conounders of creatinine
muscle maass and diet
overflow proteinuria
myeloma
most common proteinuria
glomeruli
what does microalbumuria mean
excretion of albumin in abnormal quantities but still below the limit of protein detection by dipstick
what is used to assess tubular function
urine osmolality
if urine osmolality is exactly the same as serum osmolality this indicates
tubules are not function
especially at risk of what if on dialysis
osteopaenia
are water and food restricted on dialysis
yes
dialysis happens via
diffusion
what is downside with fistula for dialysis
needs 6-12 weeks before can be used
haemodialysis involves
diffusion, conventionna and adsorption
adsorption affects what
plasma proteins
haemofiltration mainly removes solutes via
convection
key difference of haemofiltration as opposed to haemodialysis
haemofiltration- there is replacements of the ultra convective ultrafiltrare through the dialysis period
in peritoneal dialysis solute removal is via .. and water removal is via…
diffusion, osmosis
what dialysis is driven by high glucose concentration of the dialyse fluid
peritoneal dialysis
complication sof HD/HDF
hypotension, haemorrhage
tunneled catehter venous catheter infection is most likely due to … can lead to endocarditis
staph aureus
antibiotics for TCVC infection
vancomycin and gentamicin
complications of peritoneal dialysis
peritonitis, fluid overload, uraemia, hernias
when to start dialysis
resistant hyperkalaemia, egfr <7, urea >40, unresponsive metabolic acidosis
complaint of too rapid a correction of toxins in dialysis
disequilibrium syndrome- cerebral oedema and possible confusion and death
patient needs to have a life expectancy of what to get kidney transplant
> 5years
what events can make you have antibodies that make you less likely to respond to kidney transplant
blood, transfusion, pregnancy or previous transplant
drug that can help with desesnsitation
rituximab
when kidney is transplanted it is attached to what
external iliac artery and vein
what rejection can be treated with immunosuppression
acute
what is an important morbidity in immunosuppressed patients in first 3 months of transplant
CMV
common malignancies after kidney transplant
non melanoma and lymphoma
referred to urology if got asymptotic non visible ahematuria and over
40
what is best to see on CT with no contrast
calculi
CT contrast induced nephropathy is when
impaired renal function occurs within 3 days follwoign contrast and get rise in serum creatine and urea
how to avoid CT contrast induced nephorpathy
oral hydration before and after scan
MR renal angiogram is only used to
see vessels only eg renal artery stenosis
MR is used for
renal cystic disease
CT urogram main indication isi
macroscopic ahematuria to look for filling defects suspicious of transitional cell carinoma
MR urogram is a
poor test not very good
ultrasound of the bladder requires what
full bladder to assess outline
Ct gold standard in bladder for
nodal and metastatic disease staging
MRi is gold standard for
local tumour staging
what scan to image urethra in males
urethrogram
scan to image urethra in females
MRI
uterus, ovaries and prostate imaging
biopsies
hysterolsapingofram assesses
tubal patency
what is used for prostate cancer
MRI
what tones can be used for those with tinnitus
warble
normal hearing is between
-10 to 20
damage to what occurs naturally as part of the ageing process
cochlear
rubella causes what kind of hearing loss
sensorineural
in conductive hiring loss what is within normal limits
boen conduction
charts notch at 2000
otoscerlsosi
tympanoemtry measures function of what part of the ear
middle
to get orlistat need to lose what % of weight in first 3 moths
greater than 5%
BMi for bariatic suregry
> 30 or greater than 28 with co- morbidities
what deficit is recommended for diabetes
600kcal
glycemic index is
rate at which food makes blood glucose rise
hypoglycaemia from exercise can occur how long after
12-24
alcohol increases activity of what
insulin
