Q

Randall’s plaques (CET)

A
  1. Calcium phosphate precipitates in basement membrane of loops of Henle
  2. erodes into the interstitium, and then accumulates
    in the subepithelial space of the renal papilla
  3. The subepithelial deposits eventually erode through the papilla into minor calyces

Q

Uricostatic drugs Example

A

allopurinol

40
Q

What does uricostatic drugs do ?

A

– reduces uric acid production through competitive

inhibition of xanthine oxidase

41
Q

Uricosuric drugs Example

A

ex. probenecid

42
Q

What does Uricosuric drug do?

A

increases urinary uric acid excretion by blocking tubular

re-absorption of urate

43
Q

Struvite stones Form in

A

chronic upper urinary tract infection due to a urease-producing organism

44
Q

A

Are composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate (struvite) & calcium carbonate.

45
Q

Normal urine is undersaturated with ammonium

phosphate – struvites occur when___

A

ammonium phosphate
ammonia production is increased & urine pH is elevated which decreases the solubility of phosphate causing stones to form.

46
Q

Cystine Stone is what kind of disorder?

In Cystine stone, In affected pts, excretion is about _______/day

A

480 - 3500 mg/day.

50
Q

A

4th decade

51
Q

2 types of Bladder calculi

A

Primary and Secondary

52
Q

Most common types of bladder calculi

A

Primary (most common) – Occurs from urinary stasis. Incomplete emptying results in concentration of solutes which crystalize

53
Q

Secondary bladder calculi when does it occur

Q

Causes of Primary stones (CUNB)

A

– Cystocoele
– Urethral obstruction

– Bladder outlet obstruction

55
Q

Cystocoele, what occurs?

A

Pubocervical fascia torn by childbirth, allows bladder to herniate into the vagina.

56
Q

Tx of cystocoele

A

Tx: surgical correction if severe.

57
Q

Neurogenic Bladder is

Bladder dysfunction secondary to injury of central or

peripheral nerves controlling urination

vascular insult.

59
Q

Additional causes of neurogenic bladder can be

A

A

Cystogram with “pine cone” or “Christmas tree” bladder

61
Q

Tx of neurogenic bladder depends on

62
Q

Bladder Outlet Obstruction caused by 3 (BCO)

A
  • BPH

80
Q

In Multiple Myeloma uropathy overproduction of?

Light chains saturate reabsorptive capacity of PCT
and **combine with filtered proteins & Tamm-Horsfall
mucoprotein to form obstructive casts

82
Q

Signs/Symptoms of Multiple Myeloma Uropathy

PPHR

A 
Signs/Symptoms:
Persistent unexplained bone pain, particularly at night or at rest
• Proteinuria
• Hypercalcemia
• Renal insufficiency
83
Q

Multiple Myeloma Uropathy occurence

A

Occurs > 40 yrs. of age; m:f 1.6:1

84
Q

Treatment of Multiple Myeloma Uropathy

A

– Dialysis

Q

Cystine stone Treatment

Water why?

A

• Water, water and more water

Maintain solubility.

93
Q

Cystine Stone and pH tx

A

• Increase urine pH > 7.5

– increases cystine solubility

94
