Renal 1 Flashcards
The main components of the nephron
- Glomeruli.
- Tubules.
- Blood vessels.
- Interstitium.
A tuft of capillaries within the Bowman’s capsule is called
Glomerulus
Blood supply of the tubule is derived from?
- Afferent arterioles.
- Efferent arterioles.
B
Cells of Bowman’s capsule
- Endothelial (fenestrated).
- Visceral epithelial (podocytes + foot processes)
- Parietal epithelial.
- Mesangial.
Filtration membrane layers
1- fenestrated endothelium.
2- lamina rara interna.
3- lamina rara externa.
4- podocyte slit membrane.
The ………. and the more………. the more permeable the molecule is.
Smaller - positive (cationic)
< 50% of glomeruli involved?
- Diffuse.
- Focal.
Diffuse
Immune complex disease is type …… hypersensitivity
Type 3
Immune complex deposition which is seen as granular in IF?
- Mesangial.
- BM.
- Sub-epithelial.
- Sub-endothelial.
C and D
Heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, lipiduria?
- Nephrotic syndrome.
- Nephritic syndrome.
A
What cause lipiduria in patients with nephrotic syndrome?
Compensatory synthesis of proteins by the liver
The nephrotic range of protein is?
> 3.5 g/24h
There is No cellular inflammatory reaction in?
- Nephrotic syndrome.
- Nephritic syndrome.
A
Renal ischemia, low GFR, hypertension, and hematuria?
- Nephrotic syndrome.
- Nephritic syndrome.
B
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of nephritic syndrome?
- Oliguria.
- Azotemia.
- Hematuria.
- Low renin.
D (there is high renin = hypertension)
There is NO hypertension or hematuria in?
- Nephritic syndrome.
- Nephrotic syndrome.
- Acute renal failure.
- Chronic renal failure.
