Q

what happens to the Intraluminal pressure during acute urinary tract obstruction?

A

initially, it rises due to obstruction - increase in Peristalsis

Q

what are the 2 categories of glomerular diseases?

A
  • Glomerulonephritis(the inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood)
  • Glomerulosclerosis(the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney)

19
Q

what is Proteinuria?

A

large amounts of protein- symptoms of a glomular disease in the urine

20
Q

what is Haematuria?

A

blood in the urine

21
Q

what is Hypoproteinemia

A

low blood protein

22
Q

what are symptoms of glomular diseases

A

proteinuria/ haematuria/ hypoproteinemia/ reduced GFR/ oedema
One or more of these symptoms can be the first sign of kidney disease.

23
Q

what is Nephritic Syndrome?

A

injures podocytes- causes a change in artecture/ scarring and deposition of matrix or other elements

24
Q

what is nephrotic syndrome?

A
  • inflammation/reactive cell proliferation/ breaks in GBM/ crescent formation
25
Q

what is Glomerulonephritis?

A

An inflammation of the glomeruli caused by antigen-antibody reaction within the glomeruli

26
Q

what does an Interaction of antigen and antibody activate?

A

activates complement and liberates mediators that attract leukocytes
•Leukocytes release destructive lysosomal enzymes that cause injury to the glomeruli

•Antigen-antibody reaction take place
:1. Immune-complex glomerulonephritis
2. Antiglomerular basement membrane(anti-GBM) glomerulonephritis

27
Q

what happens when antigen-antibody reacts with circulation?

A

forming small clumps called immune complexes

Deposit in the walls of the glomerular capillaries as the blood filters through the glomeruli

28
Q

how does inflamation against the basement membrane occur?

A

inflammation caused by an autoantibody directed against the basement membranes of the glomerular capillaries

29
Q

what are the 2 immune mechanisms of glomular disease?

A

1- antiglomular membrane antibodies

2-circulating antigen-antibody complex deposition

30
Q

how would you treat the following in nephritic syndrome? Glommerular inflammation/Proteinuria/Fluid retention,oedema/Uraemia/Hypertension /Infection

A

glommerular inflamation- Steroids, cytotoxics
proteinuria- no protein supplement usually necessary
fluid retention-Na/water restriction Loop diuretic Dialysis
oedema-Protein restriction
hypertension-Hypotensivetherapy
infection-Antibiotics

31
Q

nephrotic syndrome causes a decrease in the plasma oncotic pressure, what is this?

A

Oncotic pressure, or colloid osmotic pressure, is a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins in blood plasma that usually tends to pull water into the circulatory system
the oncotic pressure tends to pull fluid into the capillaries.

32
Q

give an example of when plasma pressure would be used?

A

In conditions where plasma proteins are reduced, e.g. from being lost in the urine(proteinuria) or from malnutrition, the result of low oncotic pressure can be excess fluid build up in the tissues (oedema).

33
Q

how would you treat proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome?

A

protein supplements are give > 100g/ day

34
Q

how would you treat Low plasma oncotic pressure in nephrotic syndrome?

A

Albumin, mannitol infusion

35
Q

how would you treat Hypokaelmia in nephrotic syndrome?

A

Spironolactone, amiloride

36
Q

what is Pyelonephritis?

A

Pyelonephritis refers to infection of the kidney parenchyma (interstitial) cells and renal plevis

37
Q

define acute pyelonephritis

A

infection of the upper urinary tract specially the renal parenchymaand renal pelvis

38
Q

define chronic pyelonephritis

A

is a progressive process. There is scarring and deformation of renal calyces and pelvis

39
Q

how is acute pyelonephritis characterized?

A

•Ascends from the UT to Kidney•Onset is rapid, characterized by•Fever•Chills•Pain in the flank•Nausea•Urinary frequency•Relapse or re-infection common•Affects the women more than men

40
Q

MCQ NB- Why do women get more UTis than men?

A
  • Shorter urethra, allowing quicker access to the bladder
  • Urethral opening is nearer the anus
  • Intercourse may result in UTIs in women
41
Q

what is the main bacteria that causes UTIs?

A

E.coli

42
Q

how does a UTI occur?

A

bacteria spreads either blood stream/Infection in the renal pelvis or interstitial cells of kidney
Renal medulla gets infiltrated by blood white cells
inflammation and oedema of the cells of interstitiumand renal tubules
Cells of Renal pappillae become necrotic (glomeruliare usually spared)

43
Q

what happens if infection is contained?

A

healing occurs> scarring- arcetecture of renal tubules may be distorted

44
Q

what are the drugs given for UTI?

A 
Fluoroquinolones
Nitrofurantoin
Ampicillin/Amoxicillin
Cephalosporins
Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid
Trimethoprim
45
Q

what happens in Chronic Pyelonephritis?

A

Destruction of renal tissue and fibrosis
•Irregularly shrunken small kidney
•Chronic inflammatory infiltrates
•Tubular atrophy with casts

46
Q

what are the 3 possible induced drug disoders?

A
  1. Acute tubular necrosis(toxic) Gentamycin,mercury, contrast agents.
  2. Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (allergic) –methicillin, thiazides.
  3. Analgesic nephropathy (Phenacetin) chronictubulointerstitial nephritis with papillarynecrosis.
47
Q

what do the drugs interact with in the cell wall?

A

peptidoglycan gram -ve
