Q

what are 3 other jobs in the kedney besides removing wastes?

A

erythropoietin, or EPO, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cell
renin, which regulates blood pressure
calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which helps maintain calcium for bones and for normal chemical balance in the body

Q

Your pt is a 3day old male who is brought in by his parents who state he “hasn’t been peeing much, and his belly seems to be getting larger and harder”. Good prenatal care, no complications.
The infant was a routine vaginal delivery without any complication who went home at ~36hrs feeding well without vomiting. They confirm that the infant has stooled several times. When asked, they said he didn’t pee much in the hospital but they were told that was OK, and to watch for him to start peeing more – but they don’t think he is peeing more.
Your exam is notable only for a distended abdomen with palpably enlarged bladder and right kidney. WHAT IS THIS?

A

posterior urethral valves

Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome

100
Q

what does causes Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome most commonly?

A

E.coli

101
Q

what else can cause Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome

A

Shiga toxin producing “verotoxin” which causes endothelial damage in glomeruli and interstitial vessel thrombosis.
E. coli O157:H7 most common
salm or shig less commonly

102
Q

what are the age ranges for Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome

A

6 mo - 4 years

103
Q

Presentation:
-Abdominal pain, Vomiting and diarrhea (often bloody)
-Within a week, weakness, pallor, irritability, petechiae, oliguria
-Profound anemia, increased retic count
Platelet deposition  microvascular occlusion
-HTN and seizures in some ~20%
Endothelial damage CNS

A

HUS

104
Q

what does blood smear show for HUS?

A

Schistocytes, burr cells, fragmented RBC

= intravascular hemolysis

105
Q

what does CBC show for HUS?

Leukocytosis common,
Platelets low
Retic count – high

106
Q

what does UA show for HUS?

A
  • hematuria, proteinuria, casts
107
Q

how do you treat HUS?

A

Management – Primarily directed at renal failure (managing fluid and electrolytes )
No antibiotics: increases risk of HUS
No antidiarrheals: increases exposure to VT toxins

A

most commonly children recover within 2-3 weeks. 95%
50% recover normal renal function

Mortality associated with CNS complications 3-5%
