A
- Medullary Sponge Kidney
2. Nephronophthisis
24
Q
medullary sponge kidney is restricted to multiple cystic dilatations of the
A
collecting ducts in the medulla
25
MEDULLARY SPONGE KIDNEY
| On gross inspections, the papillary ducts in the medulla are
dilated, and small cysts may be
| present.
26
Medullary sponge kidney
| -Cysts are lined by
cuboidal epithelium or occasionally by transitional epithelium
27
This group of progressive renal disorders is
characterized by a variable number of cysts in the
medulla, usually concentrated at the
corticomedullary junction.
NEPHRONOPHTHISIS
28
is the cause of
| the eventual renal insufficiency
cortical tubulointerstitial damage
29
Three Variants of Nephronophthisis disease complex
| are recognized:
1. Sporadic, non-familial
2. Familial juvenile nephronophthisis (most common)
3. Renal-Retinal dysplasia (15%)
30
NEPHRONOPHTHISIS familial forms
autosomal recessive traits
31
most common genetic cause of ESRD in
| children and young adults.
As a group, nephronophthisis complex
32
CLINICAL FEATURES OF NEPHRONOPTHISIS
- Polyuria and polydipsia, which reflect a marked defect in the concentrating ability of renal tubules.
- Sodium wasting and tubular acidosis
- Some syndromic variants
33
syndromic variants nephronophthisis
Ocular motor abnormalities, retinal dystrophy, liver fibrosis and cerebellar abnormalities.
34
Nephronophthisis Expected course is ____
progression to ESRD in 5 to 10 years
35
mutated in the juvenile forms of nephronophthisis
, NPHP1 to
| NPHP11, JBTS2, JBTS3, JBTS9, JBTS11
36
encode proteins in nephrocystins
NPHP1 to NPHP11
37
Kidneys are small, have contracted granular
surfaces, and show cysts in the medulla, most
prominently at the corticomedullary junction
-small cysts in the cortex
nephronophthisis
38
T or F
In nephronophthisis, glomerular structure is preserved
T
39
T or F
Multicystic renal dysplasia can be unilateral or bilateral. The kidney is usually enlarged, extremely irregular, multicystic
T
40
Cardinal feature of Multicystic renal dysplasia
presence of islands of undifferentiated
mesenchyme, often with cartilage, and
immature collecting ducts.
41
Unilateral renal dysplasia
may mimic and lead to surgical exploration and nephrectomy
42
bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia
renal failure may ultimately result
43
in acquired cystic disease, the cyts are lined by ______
either hyperplastic or flattened tubular epithelium, and often contain calcium oxalate crystals.
44
simple cysts
translucent, line by a gray, glistening, smooth membrane, and filled with clear fluid
45
Simple cysts micro
single layer of cuboidal or flattened cuboidal epithelium (no clinical significance)
46
T or F
Obstructive lesions of the urinary tract increase susceptibility to infection and to stone formation
T
47
T or F
Unrelieved obstruction almost always lead to permanent renal atrophy, termed hydronephrosis or obstructive uropathy
T
48
Dilatation of the renal pelvis and calyces associated with progressive atrophy of the kidney due to obstruction to the
outflow of urine
Hydropnephrosis
49
when the obstruction is sudden and complete, it leads to
mild dilation of the pelvis and calyces and sometimes to atrophy of the renal parenchyma
50
When the obstruction is subtotal or intermittent,
progressive dilation ensues, giving rise to hydropnephrosis
51
chronic cases of urinary obstruction
cortical tubular atrophy with marked diffuse interstitial fibrosis
52
calculi lodged in the ureters may give rise to
renal colic
53
is a useful noninvasive technique of obstructive uropathy
Ultrasonography
54
earliest manifestation of bilateral partial obstruction
inability to concentrate urine reflected by polyuria and nocturia
55
complete bilateral obstruction of rapid onset:
Results in oliguria or anuria and is incompatible with survival unless the obstruction is relieved.
56
T or F
In urolithiasis, men are affected more than women, and the peak age at onset is between 20 and 30 years
T
57
characterized by excessive production and excretion of stone-forming substances
inborn errors of metabolism such as cystinuria and primary hyperoxaluria
58
4 main types of calculi
- calcium stones
- Triple stone/ struvite stone
- Uric acid stones
- Cystine
59
composed largely of calcium oxalate or calcium oxalate mixed with calcium phosphate
calcium stones
-most common
60
composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate
Triple stone or struvite stone
61
most important determinant (stones)
increased urinary concentration of the stones' constituents
62
The mechanism of stone formation in this setting involves
‘nucleation’ of calcium
oxalate by uric acid crystals in the
collecting ducts.
63
Formed largely after infections by urea-splitting
bacteria (e.g., Proteus and some Staphylococci)
that converts urea to ammonia
MAGNESIUM AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE STONES
64
occupying the large
portions of the renal pelvis are frequently a
consequence of infection.
staghorn calculi
65
Common in individuals with hyperuricemia, such
as patients with gout, and diseases involving rapid
cell turnover, such as the leukemias and patients
undergoing chemotherapy
uric acid stones
66
urine of pH below ___ may predispose to uric
| acid stones
5.5
67
T or F
uric acid stones are radiolucent
T
68
Caused by genetic effects in the renal
reabsorption of amino acids, including cystine,
leading to cystinuria
cystine stones
69
urolithiasis most favored sites
Renal calyces and pelvis and in the bladder
70

76
Consists of vessels, smooth muscle, and fat originating from perivascular epithelioid cells
Angiomyolipoma
77
● The clinical importance of angiomyolipoma is due
| largely to their susceptibility to
spontaneous hemorrhage
78
disease caused by loss-of-function
mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor
genes.
tuberous sclerosis
79
● Epithelial neoplasm composed of large eosinophilic
cells having small, round, benign-appearing nuclei
that have large nucleoli.
Oncocytoma
80

intercalated cells of collecting ducts
81
Oncocytoma gross appearance
Tumors are tan or mahogany brown, relatively
| homogenous, and usually well encapsulated with a central scar in one-third of causes.
82

of autosomal dominant familial cancers occur,
usually in younger individuals.
T
83
CLASSIFICATION OF RENAL CELL CARCINOMA:
- Clear cell carcinoma
- Papillary carcinoma
- Chromophobe carcinoma
- Xp11 Translocation carcinoma
- Collecting duct (bellini duct) carcinoma
84

88
T or F
Unlike clear cell carcinomas, papillary
carcinomas are frequently multifocal in
origin
T
89
composed of cells with prominent cell
membranes and pale eosinophilic
cytoplasm, usually with a halo around
the nucleus.
Chromophobe carcinoma
90
● genetically distinct (uncommon) subtype of
renal cell carcinoma.
● It often occurs in young patients
Xp11 Translocation carcinoma
91
defined by translocations of the TFE3 gene

92
How do we differentiate it with papillary CA?
In contrast with the cytoplasm of papillary CA, Xp11 translocation CA has a clear cytoplasm.
93
Histologically these tumors are
characterized by malignant cells forming
glands enmeshed within a prominent
fibrotic stroma, typically in a medullary
location.
Collecting duct (bellini duct) carcinoma
