R3 Flashcards
Things to do in patients with LUTS and BBH?
Urinalysis
Serum PSA(asses risk of PCa)
serum creatnin especially in a patient who has another risk for RF like HTN and DM
Renal ultrasound: especially when they have raised Cr(AKI) —-used to assess the presence of hydronephrosis/other obstraction cause and planing for catheterization.
Cystoscopy use in BPH?
Used to assess bladder for signs of chronic obstruction.
But indicated only if the patient fails initial managment.
Indication for prostate biopsy inpatient with prostatic enlargement?
asymmetric enlargement
Having nodule/nodularity
persistent PSA elevation > 4ng/dl
How we now cause anion gap metabolic acidosis?
to see associated clues like osmolar GAP
Presence of Osmolar GAP indicate?
Methanol(Blindness)
Ethylin Glycol(Urinary Ca oxalate crystal)
Propylene Glycol
Osmolar GAP calculation?
Measured serum osmolarity - Calculated serum osmolarity
Normal is < 10
Calculated serum osmolarity?
2xNa + Glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Hyperglycemia + Urine Ketone?
DKA
Uremia(rise in BUN)
AKI
Hypoperfusion?
Lactic acidosis
Drugs?
Salicylates (early Respiratory alkalosis)
Isoniazid
Iron
Anion Gap metabolic acidosis cause?
MUDPILES
The benefit of ACE/ARB in DM?
the slow progress of diabetic nephropathy( DN is evidenced by raise in urine albumin/Cr ratio)
By lowering Glomerular Hyperfiltration(caused by raise in glomerular CHP in the disease process)–Which prevents the risk of glomerular capillary sclerosis(DN).
SGLT-2 inhibitors(canaglifinozine) benfit in DM?
lower the progress of DN by an unknown mechanism.
progression of DN?
First 5 years-Glomerular HyperthrophyRise in GFR
5-15 year(incipient DN)–mesangial expansion, GBM thickening, and arteriolar hyalinosis—moderate Proteinuria and HTN
>15 years (overt DN)–mesangial nodule/KWN/ and tubulointerstitial fibrosis–overt proteinuria(NS) and reduced GFR
Renal and electrolyte complication of anorexia nervosa?
Decrease urine concentrating ability
Dehydration
Electrolyte depletion
analgesic nephropathy>
MCC of drug-induced CKD
Common in older women
Combination increase more risk
2-3 Kg ingestion of indexed drug required
Papillary necrosis and tubulointerstitial nephritis is the pathogenesis
Microscopic haematuria, Sterile pyuria(reduced kidney concentrating capability), Mild proteinuria(NS in advanced disease)
HTN, polyuria, and flank pain
Increase risk of premature aging, atherosclerosis VD, and UT cancers.
Clues that indicate amyloidosis as a cause of nephrotic syndrome?
Presence of chronic inflammatory disease(MC: RA)
Enlarged kidney
Enlarged Liver
Amyloid stain by congo red
Amyloid deposit in BM, BV, and interstitium(may be seen as thin fibrils by E.Microscopy)
apple green birefringence by polarized light
Hyalinosis of the afferent and efferent artery will be seen in?
Hypertensive nephropathy
Screening for diabetic nephropathy?
randome urine albumin/Cr ratio
can detect >30mg/g protinuria erlier
Factor increase DN risk?
Long-standing(5-10 year) DM
Presence of other microvascular complication
Uncontrolled HTN
Poor Glycemic control
Protinuria coplication?
Increase risk of CV mortality
Increase risk of macrovascular complication
