RENAL Flashcards
Casts for post strep glomerulonephritis
RBC Casts
What type of bacteria is associated with with PSGN
G A Beta hemolytic strep pyogenes
GAS
PSGN is common most in what age
5-12 years old
Urine color in PSGN
Coca Cola urine
/mc reason for PSGN worldwide
IgA Nephropathy [Berger Disease]
Hematuria 1-2 days after URI
3 common findings in PSGN
Hematuria
RBC casts
Proteinuria
What is Azotemia ?
Elevated BUN and Creatinine
Mangement PSGN
Supportive care = fluid restriction loop diuretics antihypertensive meds
ABX care = treat the Strep PCN
Last line = dialysis
Nephrotic syndrome thoughts
Anasarca
Protein uria [ 3.5 g over 24 hours ]
Lipid in the urine pool,.- FROTHY URINE
Low ALBUMIN ]
Orbital edema
Infection
MC reason for nephrotic syndrome in kids
Minimal change disease
Casts seen in nephrotic syndrome
Fatty casts
Maltese cross pattern under polarized light
Renal bx of nephrotic syndrome [membranous nephro]
Podocyte loss of foot processes
3 medications that can be used in nephrotic syndrome
ACE Arbs
Statins
Neprhtitic syndrome casts
RBC casts = PSGN
Nephrotic syndrome or nephritic syndrome produces more protein
Nephrotic does more than 3.5 g / day with EDEMA
3 type of AKI
Pre
Intra
Post
“Kidney”
BPH can cause what type of AKI
Post
Watery diarrhea can cause waht type of AKI
Pre renal AKI
BUN to creatine what should the ratio be
Greater than 20:1 = PRE RENAL
Less than 20:1 = INTRINSIC
MC type of AKI
ATN = tubular necrosis
3 pre renal AKI causes
Cardio shock
Hemmorhage
Sepsis
Decreased perfusion ; think before the kidney; blood flow problem
Renal AKI causes
Toxins
Drugs
Infection
Hypoperfusion
3 type of post renal AKI
Enlarged prostate
Kidney stone
Tumors
Obstructive issues
3 type of diseases that can cause glomerulonephritis to know
Lupus
Anti GBM
Henoch Schlenoch Purpura
Metallic tase in mouth think what
If malaise and decreased urine output = general
Creatinine increase of what = AKI
Greater than 50 % increase from baseline
Low FE of NA+ suggests an AKI where
Pre Renal affecting the kidney
Best image for obstruction or hydronephrosis
Kidney U/S
ATN casts =
Muddy brown casts
Indications for dialysis AEIOU
Acidosis
Electrolytes = remove high K+
Ingestions
Overload
Uremia = pericarditis , encephalopathy
MC cause of CKD
Diabetes ; CKD dx = longer 3 months
CKD findings common 4
Uremia
Anemia
HyperK
Fluid retention
Casts assoc with CKD
Broad waxy casts
