Pathology (not already covered in Pathoma) Flashcards
Presentation of tubulointerstitial nephritis
polyuria, nocturia
metabolic acidosis
Tubulointerstial Nephritis
key histological finding
massive proliferation of interstial tissue
Chronic Pyelonephritis
gross pathology changes
papillary necrosis at tips of papillae
Chronic Pyelonephritis
etiology
usually:
vesicoureteral reflux
Pyonephritis
complication from
chronic pyelonephritis
loss of renal parenchyma
Thryroidization of kidney seen in
chronic pyelonephritis
Chronic Pyelonephritis
presentation
usually silent
possibly recurrent acute pyelo
HTN and renal insufficiency
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Gross pathology
irregular, scarred surface of kidneys
if bilateral: asymmetrical
chonic pyelonephritis findings
Urate and Ca2+
tubulointerstiail diseases
like small stones, just in tubules
not in ureters
Urate Nephropathy
most common etiology
tumor lysis syndrome
Urate Nephropathy
type of
tubulointerstitial nephropathy
Bence-Jones proteins origninate form
multiple myeloma
monoclonal light chains
Bence-Jones proteinuria
damages
directly toxic to tubles
and
forms casts
Perinephric abcess
possible complication of chronic pyelo
may need to be drained with nephrostomy tubes
sometimes Abx just can’t get there enough to work
Acute Tubular Necrosis
1˚ etiology
hypoperfusion
shock, hypovolemia
