Renal 1 Flashcards
% of CO that goes to kidneys
25%
signifies end stage renal disease
GFR
size of particles normally filtered by kidneys
5 functional units of kidney
vascular supply, glomerulus, tubules, interstitium, collecting system
most of vasculature located within this area of kidney
cortex/glomeruli
sole blood supply of tubules
efferent arterioles (glomerular damage causes major problems downstream)
this portion of kidney is at greatest risk for ischemic and ischemic infarction
tubules
this portion of kidney is relatively avascular and has lower hematocrit
medulla
treatment for HTN caused by kidney problem
ACE inhibitor
this causes pre-renal vascular disease
decreased blood flow to glomeruli
this is result of pre-renal vascular disease
decreased GFR, loss ability excrete nitrogen waste, increase BUN and Cr, conservation water and Na (expanded intravascular volume and HTN)
this causes glomerular kidney disease
damage glomerular architecture (commonly immune related), vascular disease glomerular capillaries
result of glomerular disease (due to damage to architecture)
loss GFR and selective permeability (will see protein and RBC)
characteristic features of renal disease due to decrease in GFR
increase BUN and Cr, oliguria, dilution hyponatremia, increased K and phosphate, hypocalcemia, AG metabolic acidosis
additional problems in glomerular disease due to alteration in membrane filtration
proteinuria, hematuria, GN
this is characterized by HTN, Na conservation, azotemia W/O proteinuria or hematuria
pre-renal disease
these cells in kidney can regenerate
tubular epithelium
these are responsible for concentrating abnormal constituents of the glomerular filtrate, like toxins, lipids, proteins
tubular cells (epithelium sheds and tubular casts form)
major goal/function of tubules
urine concentration
hallmarks of tubular disease
loss of urine concentrating ability (end-stage), metabolic acidosis, formation tubular casts
this causes metabolic acidosis in tubular disease
loss of bicarb
interstitial disease is associated with this
loss EPO and anemia
interference with blood flow of this area of kidney causes production of renin and angiotensin II -> leading to HTN
interstitium
this is result of loss of prostaglandin production in interstitial disease
renal vasoconstriction, vascular insufficiency, HTN
loss of this % of GFR signifies renal insufficiency -> azotemia, anemia, HTN
50-80%
this signifies renal failure
GFR
decrease in GFR with resulting increase in BUN and Cr
azotemia
this condition, with early treatment, can have reversible glomerular damage
acute post-streptococcal GN
loss of protein (>3.5 g/day) w/o other evidence of filtration or vascular abnormality
nephrotic syndrome
loss of tubular function in isolated tubular syndrome causes this to occur
increased intraglomerular pressure (secondary to tubular collapse/damage), decrease GFR
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
6.1 + log (HCO3/ .03*PCO2)
normal pH value
7.4
increase in PCO2 (hypoventilation) causes this
respiratory acidosis
decrease in PCO2 (hyperventilation) causes this
respiratory alkalosis
two conditions that will lead to metabolic acidosis
retention acids renal failure, loss bicarb tubular disease
increase in total acids leads to this
metabolic acidosis
