Increases nephrotoxicity by raising circulating drug levels

Slows breakdown of drugs metabolized by this pathway

16
Q

Adverse rxn associated w/ Beta-lactam antibiotics?

A
  • Fever
  • Rash
  • ARF

Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis

Also - NSAIDs, sulfonamides, rifampin, diuretics

17
Q

Acute interstitial nephritis

A
  • Peripheral eosinophilia and eosinophiluria

- Hypersensitivity

18
Q

Ramipril

19
Q

Primase

A

DNA-dependent RNA poly

Incorporates short RNA primers into replicating DNA

20
Q

Frothy/foamy urine?

A

Caused by proteinuria => nephrotic syndrome

21
Q

Pts w/ MS and urinary issues

A
  • Spastic bladder after developing acute lesion on spinal cord
  • Increased urinary freq and urge incontinence
  • Bladder hypertonia (UMN!!!)
22
Q

Where does majority of water reabsorption occur?

A

Proximal tubule

Passively w/ reabsorption of solutes

23
Q

Crescents in RPGN consist of which materials?

A
  • Glomerular parietal cells
  • Monocytes
  • Macros
  • ABUNDANT fibrin

Eventually become sclerotic, disrupting glomerular function => irreversible renal injury

24
Q

In acute transplant rejection, what is the humoral response?

A
  • C4d deposition
  • PMN infiltrate
  • Necrotizing vasculitis
25
In acute transplant rejection, what is the cellular response?
- Lymphocytic interstitial infiltrate | - Endotheliitis
26
Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction
- Fever & chills - Hypotension - Dyspnea - Chest/back pain - Hemoglobinuria (red- to brown-colored urine) Occur w/in minutes/hours of starting a blood transfusion --- ABO incompatibility Ab-mediated (Type III) hypersensitivity reaction
27
Type III hypersensivity
- IgM bind to Ag => complement activation - C3a and C5a cause vasodilation and sx of shock - Complement mediated cell lysis
28
Urachus
- Yolk sac forms the allantois => extends into urogenital sinus => becomes bladder (5th-7th week) - Allantois becomes urachus after bladder formation => now duct between bladder and yolk sac
29
Patent urachus
- Aka persistent allantois remnant - Connects umbilicus and bladder - Pts present w/ urine discharge from umbilicus - Exacerbated w/ crying, straining, voiding, prone position
30
Vesicourachal diverticulum
- Failure to close part of urachus - commonly asymptomatic - Outpouching of bladder apex
31
Urachial sinus
- Failure to close distal part of urachus - Presents w/ periumbilical tenderness and purulent discharge from persistent/recurrent infections - Adjacent to umbilicus
32
Urachal cyst
- Failure of central portion of urachus to obliterate | - Fluid filled structure located between the two obliterated ends of urachus
33
Vitelline duct
- Persistent yolk stalk - Connects small intestine w/ skin - Presents w/ meconium discharge from umbilicus - Incomplete obliteration => meckel diverticulum
34
Proximal ureter blood supply
Renal artery
35
Distal ureter blood supply
Superior vesical artery
36
Urinary incontinence in pts w/ MS
- Develop urge incontinence due to loss of CNS inhibition of detrusor contraction in the bladder - Bladder can become atonic, dilated => overflow incontinence
