Proteinurea & Hematuria Flashcards
What proteins does urine dipstick detect?
Albuminurea
Name diseases with proteinurea that are less likely to be detected by dipstick?
- Tubular proteinuria
- bence jones
- gamma globulins
What does the depth of color in dipstick indicate in proteinurea
Increase protein excretion
What does trace, +1, +2, +3, +4 indicate in dipstick tests: of protein
- trace: between 15-30
- 1: between 30-100
- 2: between 100-300
- 3: between 300 -1000
- 4: >1000
Name false positive results from proteinurea in dipstick
- gross hematuria
- concentrated urine
- alkaline urine
- antiseptic and radiocontrats
Name false negative results from proteinurea in dipstick
Non-albumin proteins - diluted urine
In which group of population is transient proteinurea more common
School aged and adolecent
What are the causes that may cause transient proteinurea
Exercise, fever, dehydration, cold weather, stress, seizures, heart failure
What are the findings of proteinurea in dipstick?
They don’t exceed +2
What is orthostatic proteinurea?
Proteinurea when standing up in an asymptomatic school aged-adolecent child
How to treat orthostatic postural proteinurea?
No need, it’s benign codnition just folllow up
How to establish diagnosis for orthostatic proteinurea?
By early morning sample after being supine over the night (negative) - after standing up during the day (positive)
What are the dipstick finding in glomerular proteinurea?
From 1g to 30 grams in one day
When to suspect glomerular proteinurea?
- first morning protein\creatining >1
- proteinura w\ HTN, hematuria, edema, renal dysfunction
What is the treatment of choice for minimal changr disease?
Corticosteroid
What is the worst prognosis of primary nephrotic syndrome?
Focal segmental GN
Whats the % of response to steroid in primary NS?
- 90% in minimal
- 50% mesengial
- 20% in focal segmental
Whats the outcome after focal segmental ns
ESRD
What are the lab findings in blood for nephrotic syndrome?
- low albumin
- high cholesterol
- normal BUN\creatinine (high if Intravascular depletion or dehydration)
- normal C3 (in MCNs)
What are the lab findings in urine for nephrotic syndrome?
- high specific gravity
- proteinuria (>40mg\hr) - (creatinine ratio >2.0)
- oligiureia
- hematuria (micro & asymp)
What are the indications for renal biopsy for nephrotic syndrome?
- gross hematuria
- HTN
- renal insufficiency
- Hypocomplementemia
- age <1 yr - >10yr
- steroid resistance (after initial steroid)- steroid dependent (before 2nd line)
What are the clinical manifestations of minimal change disease?
- generalized edema
- normal\low BP
- thrombosis
- bacterial infection (sbp)
- hyperlipedemia complication (rare in child)
What is the most common form of nephrotic syndrome in childhood?
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (primary)
What is the common (age\gender) to develop minimal change nephrotic syndrome?
2-6 years
Males
What may trigger Mcns
- infections (minor)
- reaction to insect bites\bee stings
- poison ivy
what is the recommended diet for child w\nephrotic syndrome
Low fat and salt - high protein
What should be ruled out before starting steroid therapy?
Tb infection
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome:
- diuretic “mod-severe edema”
- salt restricted albumin “severe edema”
- steroid (definitive)
