Renal Flashcards
Varicocele
Scrotalenlargement
Indicates high venous pressure
“ Left more common- into L renal vein not IvC
Often sign of tumor in kidney
Neurons kidney
Renal plexus
Para from vagus
Symp from sphlanchnic-n. T10-L1 Via celiac plexu.
Pain sphlanchnic n t10-11, referred pain at T 10-11 dermatome
Quadratus eumborum
Fixes rib during inspiration, stabilizes diaphragm
Psoas major
Flex hip
Medial posterior ab wall
Gonadal v tributary to
L- L renal
R-ivc
Bladder a
Superior and inferior vesicle a
Both from internal iliac a
F- also uterine a
Kidney lymph tributary to
Para-aortic and para-caval nodes
Nerves bladder
Sump - L 1-L2 urine retention
Para- s 2-4 urine release, detrusor m.
Sensory- s 2-4 bladder dissension.’
External urethralsphineter-skeletal/voluntary,pudendal n
Mesangial cells
Debris phagocytosis, cytokine secretion,
Blood flow regulation
ECM production
Nephrosis nephritis
,osis-protein
Itis - blood
Macula densa-where
DCT
Bowman capsule cells
Podocyte= visceral epithelial cells
Parietal epithelial cells
Renal tubular necrosis causes
Drugs
-Radiology contrast
-Aminoglycosides (-mycin/micin)
Hypoxia/ischemic
Loop diuretics
E.g. Furosemide
Block NaCl reabsorption at thick ascending limb
Sodium diuresis
K wasting
Renal blood flow reg.
Macula densa @dct near glomerulus senses
Signals jg @afferent a
Jg relax, release renin
= more blood flow, more sodium retention
In response to low bp
Thiazide diuretics
@Dct
Na and k wasting
Ad h target
Principal cells @ collecting duct
Aldosterone tar yet
Principal cells @collecting duct - Na and k
Alpha intercalated cells @collecting duct- acid-base
Alpha intercalate cells
@Collecting duct
Acid-base
Hco3 reabsorb H+ out
Re: acidosis, aldosterone
PT H responsive element
Reabsorb Ca @dct
Urinary epithelium
Transitional
Stratified, impertheable to salt and water
Expands
Kidney embryo origin
Intermediate mesoderm
Provephros
Week 4
Primitiveglomeruli
Mesonephros
Week 4-8/first tri
Interimfiltration
Into mesonephire duct
MD will later become male genitals
Metanephros
Week 5 -32+
Ureticduct- me somephric duct outgrowth → collecting tubes, urinary system sans bladder
Metanephric blastema- rest of nephron
Kidney ascend
‘really rest of embryo moving down
Sacral → lumbar
Week 6-9
Cloaca
→ bladder
Trigone
Mesonephric duct → trigone → sensation of bladder distention
Urachal fistula
Failure of allantois degeneration
Fistula between bladder and umbilicus
Pelvic kidney
Umbilical arteries prevent ascent
Complications:
-Reflux, hydronephrosis
- dt ureter obstruction, urinary reflex, improper rotation
Horseshoe kidney
Fusion
Inferior mesenteric a-blocksascent
Complication:
- obstruction
- stones
-Infection
Amniotic fluid source late gestation
Fetal urine and lung secretions
