Renal Flashcards
kidney embryo - 3 phases and final fate
pronephros - degenerates
mesonephros - interim kidney in 1st TM > male genital system
metanephros - permanent, becomes kidneys
Potter’s syndrome - causes and effects
caused by ARPKD, post urethral valve, bilat renal agenesis
results in oligohydramnios > compression of fetus > limb deformities, facial deformity, pulmonary hypoplasia (can cause death)
horseshoe kidney assoc w/
Turner syndrome
relationship of ureters to uterine artery / ductus deferens
“water under the bridge” - ureters go under both structures
what makes the charge barrier in the glomerular filtration barrier?
heparan sulfate in the BM
clearance formula
C = U*V/P
normal filtration fraction
20%
at what glucose level does glucosuria begin, and at what level do the transporters reach there maximum?
160 mg/dl it begins, at 350 mg/dl its at Tm
Hartnup’s disease
def of neutral AA transporter results in pellagra
3 stimuli for renin release
dec BP (JG cells) dec Na delivery (macula densa cells) inc sympathetic tone (beta 1 receptors)
what cells secrete renin
juxtaglomerular cells
6 things that shift K out of cells / cause hyperkalemia
digitalis hyperosmolarity insulin def lysis of cells acidosis beta adrenergic antagonist
U waves on ECG
hypoK
peaked T waves on ECG
hyperK
Henderson Hasselbach Eqn
pH = 6.1 + log (bicarb/(0.03PCO2))
Winter’s formula
predicts resp compensation for primary metab acid/base disturbance
PCO2 = 1.5bicarb + 8 +/- 2
type 1 RTA
distal - defect in CD’s excretion of H. assoc w/ hypoK and inc risk of Ca kidney stones and bone resorption
type 2 RTA
proximal - defect in PCT bicarb reabs. assoc w/ hypoK and inc risk for hypophosphatemic rickets. does not respond to tx w/ bicarb
type 4 RTA
hypoaldosteronism / reduced response to aldosterone. causes hyperK > impairs ammoniagenesis in PCT > acidosis
granular muddy brown casts in urine
ATN
fatty casts “ oval fat bodies” in urine
nephrotic syndrome
