PP Renal Flashcards
What is Goldblatt’s kidney?
Flea-bitten kidney (blown capillaries)
Which part of the nephron concentrates urine?
Medulla
What is Uremia?
Azotemia + symptoms
What is Azotemia?
Increase BUN/Cr
What is nephritic kidney disease?
Increases size of fenestration => vasculitis
Inflammatory process
When involves glomeruli it leads to: hematuria and RBC cast in urin
A/ w : Azotemia ( BUN/Cr >15), oliguria, hypertension and proteinuria < 3.5
What is nephrotic kidney disease?
Lost BM charge due to deposition on heparin sulfate => massive proteinuria > 3.5 , Hyperlipidemia, fatty cast, edema.
A/w: Thromboembolism and increase risk of infection
What is seen in RPGN?
LM and EM- crescent-moon shape
Crescent consist of fibrin and plasma protein with glomerular parietal cells, monocytes and macrophages
Several disease processes may result in this pattern including:
- Goodpasture’s syndrome
- Granulomatosis with polyangitis ( Wegener’s)
- Microscopic polyangitis
What is Pot-Strep GN?
LM- "lumpy bumpy" appearance EM- Subepithelial immune complex humps IF- granular appearance due to IgG/IgM/C3/deposition along GBM Most frecuen in children Resolve spontaneously
What is Interstitial Nephritis?
Urine eosinophils
What is Lupus Nephritis?
Subepithelial
What is Membranous Nephropathy?
LM- diffuse capillary and GBM thickening
EM- “spike and dome” appearance with Subepithelial deposits
IF - granular
What is MPGN?
Type I - subendothelia IC deposit with granular IF; “Tram-tracks” appearance. A/w HBV, HCV
Type II - intramembranous IC deposit; “dense deposit”. A/w C3 nephritic factor
What is MCD?
LM- normal glomeruli EM- foot process effacement MC nephrotic syndrome in Children No renal failure Loss of charge barrier Trigger by a recent infection or an immune stimulus Respond to Corticosteroids
What is FSGS?
LM- segmental sclerosis and hyalinosis
EM- effacement of foot process
A/w: HIV infection
MCC of nephrotic syndrome in Adults
What are the vasculitis with low C3?
"PMS in Salt Lake City" Post-Strep GN MPGN type II SBE Serum sickness Lupus Cryolgobulinemia
What’s is the most common cause of kidney stone?

What disease has Aniridia?
Wilm’s tumor
What disease has Iridocyclitis?
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
What is phimosis?
Foreskin scarred at penis head ( foreskin stuck smooshed up)
What is Parphimosis?
Foreskin scarred at penis base ( retraction of foreskin => strangulated penis)
What is Urge incontinence?
Urgency leads to complete voiding ( detrusor spasticity -> small bladder vol)
What is Stress incontinence?
Weak pelvic floor muscles (estrogen effect)
What is the Overflow incontinence?
Runs down leg but can’t complete empty bladder
What structure have one way valves?
Urethra
Ejaculatory duct
What structures have fake sphincters?
Ureters
LES
Ileocecal valve
What has WBC casts?
Acute Pyelonephritis
Acute Interstitial Nephritis
What has WBC cast + eosinophils?
Interstitial nephritis (allergies)
What has WBC cast +RBC cast?
Glomerulonephritis
What has Fat cast?
Nephrotic syndrome
What has Waxy cast?
Chronic renal failure
What has Tubular cast?
ATN
What has Granular “Muddy brown” casts?
ATN
What has Hyaline casts?
Normal sloughing
