Q

What is the clinical course of ATN?

A
  • initiation - slight decline in urine output and increased BUN

Q

What is seen on morphology with chronic pyelonephritis?

A
  • damage to pelvocalyceal
  • irregularly scarred surface
  • blunted deformed calyx
18
Q

How is multiple myeloma damaging to the kidneys?

A
  • Has Bence Jones proteinuria that has Ig light chains that are directly toxic to tubules
  • combines with Tamm-Horsfall protein to form large tubular casts that cause obstruction and peritubular inflammation
19
Q

What is shown in the image?

A
  • Nephrosclerosis
    • ischemic atrophy w/tubular atrophy and intersitital fibrosis
    • due to thickening and hyalinization of walls of arterioles and small arteries that narrow the vessel lumen
20
Q

Malignant nephrosclerosis

What is it associated with?

Who is it more common in?

Pathogenesis?

A
  • occurs w/hypertension (malignant)
  • men, blacks, younger patents
  • initial vascular injury followed by leaky vessels, fibrinoid necrosis
  • kidney is ischemic and RAAS activated.
21
Q

What is seen on micrscopy with malignant nephrosclerosis?

A
  • fibrinoid necrosis of arterioles
  • onion skinning of vessels/hyperplastic arteriolitis
22
Q

Renal Artery Stenosis

Cause?

Gross:

A
  • normally occlusion w/athermatous plaque
  • ischemic kidney is small
  • non-ischemic kidney shows hyaline arteriosclerosis
23
Q

Group of disorders that has thrombosis in capillaries and arterioles throughout the body - inappropriate activation of clotting cascade.

What does this cause?

A
  • Thrombotic microganiopathies
    • renal failure
    • thrombocytopenia
    • MAHA
24
Q

What is the pathogenesis of thrombotic microganiopathies?

A
  • many trigers –> endothelial cell injury –> leads to clots
  • reduced prostaglandin I2 and NO
25
Q

Typical (Classic) HUS

thrombotic microangiopathy

A
  • most caused by E. coli
  • produces verocytotoxin that causes endothelial lysis, increased endothelin, decreased NO
  • sudden onset bleeding, oliguria, hematuria, MAHA, neuro changes
  • can recover in weeks (with dialysis)
26
Q

Atypical HUS associations

A
  • associatios with…
    • Antiphospholipid syndrome
    • Pregnancy
    • Vascular Renal Disease
    • Drug related - chemo drugs
27
Q

Familial HUS

A
  • inheritied deficiency of complement reg protein Factor H
  • get uncontrolled complement activation
  • high mortality rate
28
Q

Idiopathic TTP

A
  • more common in women under 40
  • due to defect in process that cleaves large von-wF muliverse (ADAMTS-13)
  • has nueor features, 50% renal invovlement
  • high mortality
  • treat w/plasma exchange & corticosteroids
29
Q

What do you see grossly and micrscopically with renal infarcts?

A
  • gross:
    • ​acute WHITE infarcts
    • wedge shaped
    • depressed gray-white scars
  • Micro
    • ​red is dead - coagulative necrosis
30
Q

What does obstructive uropathy lead to?

A
  • hydronephrosis and renal atrophy

What are the causes of obstructive uropathy?

A
  • congenital
  • stones
  • BIG PROSTATE

33
Q

What is an angiomyolipoma associated with? What is it made up of?

Bening or not?

A
  • composed of vessels, smooth muscle & fat
  • associated w/tuberus sclerosis

Q

What does an oncocytomas look like?

Microscopically?

Where does it arise from?

benign?

A
  • mahogany brown w/sclerotic scar

  • arises from collecting ducts
  • considered a BENIGN TUMOR
35
Q

who is renal carcinoma common in?

3 presenting signs

A
  • male dominant
  • more common in ELDERLY
  • triad
    • hematuria
    • palpable mass
    • flank pain
36
Q

What does renal cell carcionma tend to invade?

What neoplastic syndromes can it present with?

A
  • invades RENAL VEIN - may extend into inferior vena cava
    • could cause varicocele if spermatic vein is blocked.
  • metastasis to bone and lung
  • paraneoplastic
    • EPO - high hemoglobin
    • Renin - hypertension
    • PtH - hypercalcemia
    • ACTH - cushing’s syndrome
37
Q

What do cases of renal cell carcinoma invovle genetically?

A

Loss of VHL –> leads to IGF-1 and HIF tx factor

38
Q

Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome

Inheritance?

Presentation

Defect

A
  • autosomal dominant disorder
  • presnts with hemangioblastoma on cerebellum and retina w/renal cysts and carcinoma
  • VHL gene on chromosome 3p25.3
    • tumor supressor gene - normally targets proteins for destruction
39
Q

what is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma?

A
  • clear cell carcinoma
    • see BRIGHT YELLOW TUMOR
