Primary Glomerular Pathologies, Kidney Stones, Neurogenic Bladder Disorders Flashcards
PRIMARY GLOMERULAR DISEASES
PRIMARY GLOMERULAR DISEASES
Primary glomerular diseases are a group of disorders characterized by ________ alterations in normal glomerular ________ and ________, independent of _________ disease processes such as diabetes and HTN.
- pathologic
- structure and function
- systemic
Primary glomerular diseases result from damage to what?
Kidney’s filtering units i.e. capillary-Bowman’s capsule interface
Primary glomerular diseases pathologies involve immune function in what 2 ways?
- Deposition of antigen/antibody complexes into some portion of the glomerulus → inflammatory response → sclerotic damage.
- Deposition of an antigen in the glomerulus → localized antigen/antibody reaction → inflammation and sclerotic damage (lupus nephritis).
- Primary glomerular diseases can cause damage to the _________ ________ walls and allow larger molecules (proteins) to escape the circulation and enter the proximal tubule resulting in _________.
- Primary glomerular diseases can also damage the __________ wall allowing RBCs to escape into the proximal tubule resulting in __________.
- glomerular epithelial walls
- proteinuria
-hematuria
What are the clinical signs of primary glomerular diseases?
- Proteinuria
- Hematuria
- HTN (kidney damage and hypervolemia)
- Decline in GFR
- Edema
- Hypoalbuminemia
Describe how primary glomerular diseases causes hypoalbuminemia:
- Secondary to increased filtration of _______ at the level of the ________ leading to proteinuria.
- Contributes to the observed ______.
- Edema results in _____volemia.
- Kidney responds by ________ reabsorption of water.
- Activation of RAS cascade leading to _____volemia.
- albumin, kidney
- edema
- hypovolemia
- increasing
- hypervolemia
What are the treatments for the following due to primary glomerular diseases?
- Hypervolemia
- Renal HTN
- Edema
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Anemia
- Immune Associated Injury
- Hypervolemia = fluid restriction
- Renal HTN = ACE inhibitors, ARBs
- Edema = diuretics
- Hypercholesterolemia = statins
- Anemia = EPO is secreted
- Immune Associated Injury = glucocorticoids, cyclosporine
Patients on statins should not have new or noticeable ______ pain.
muscle
What are the 2 types of glomerular diseases?
- Nephritic
- Nephrotic
- What is the key feature of nephritic?
- What is the key feature of nephrotic?
- Nephritic = blood in the urine (hematuria)
- Nephrotic = protein in the urine (proteinuria) but often little to no blood in urine
KIDNEY STONES (RENAL CALCULI)
KIDNEY STONES (RENAL CALCULI)
- Kidney Stones are the ___ most common urinary tract disorder behind _______ and __________.
- They are classified by their location; kidney (__________), ureter (__________), or bladder
- 3rd behind UTI and prostate disease
- kidney (nephrolithiasis), ureter (ureterolithiasis)
What is the pain pattern of kidney stones?
- flank
- abdominal
- groin
What is hydronephrosis?
Distension and dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces secondary to urine accumulation.
Is hydronephrosis associated with chronic or acute kidney stones?
chronic
The hallmark of stones is that they obstruct the ________ or _____ _______ and is excruciating intermittent pain that radiates from the flank to the groin or to the inner thigh.
- ureter
- renal pelvis
Kidney stones are ______ acutely, and ______ threatening chronically.
- painful
- kidney
