Renal 5 Flashcards
examples of interstitial disease
ischemic papillary necrosis, toxic and HS (drugs)
most common cause of intrinsic renal disease and ARF
ATN
two most common causes of ATN
acute toxic or ischemic damage (loss blood flow)
this combination depicts spectrum of symptoms present in ATN
loss tubular function and GFR
what occurs due to toxic or ischemic damage of tubules
acute necrosis of tubular epithelium with acute suppression renal function
what occurs intracellularly due to tubular ischemic injury
depletion ATP, accumulation Ca, activation proteases and phospholipases
morphology of ATN (regardless of etiology)
focal tubular epithelial necrosis/apoptosis, rupture BM, occlusion tubular lumens by casts
part of tubule most commonly injured by toxins
proximal segment
toxicity of carbon tetrachloride is characterized by this
neutral lipid accumulation
characterizes ethylene glycol poisoning of kidney
ballooning and hydropic or vacuolar degeneration w/ formation calcium oxalate crystals
what occurs in initiating phase of ATN
declining urine output, increasing BUN (36 hours)
what occurs in recovery phase of ATN
increase urine output (3 L/day), hypokalemia, gradual improvement concentrating ability
what occurs in maintenance phase of ATN (several days)
diminished renal output, salt and water overload, increased BUN, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis (ALL FROM DECREASED GFR)
possible causes of acute interstitial nephritis
HS to drugs or metabolic dysfunction, ARF
gentimycin potentially causes this kind of kidney damage
ATN
synthetic penicillins (methicillin, ampicillin) potentially cause this kind of kidney damage
acute interstitial nephritis
drugs that are known to cause acute interstitial nephritis
sulfonamides, synthetic penicillins, diuretics (thiazides), NSAIDS (phenylbutazone)
chronic analgesic abuse is associated with development of this
transitional papillary carcinoma of renal pelvis
this is associated with development of transitional papillary carcinoma of renal pelvis
chronic analgesic abuse
causes of papillary necrosis
analgesic nephropathy, diabetes, urinary tract obstruction, sickle cell (anemia or trait), renal TB
benign renal tumor with eosinophilic cells and LOTS of mitochondria
oncocytoma
clinical presentation of Wilm’s tumor (nephroblastoma)
large abdominal mass, hematuria/pain after trauma, intestinal obstruction, HTN (damage to blood flow)
what renal cell carcinoma tumors arise from
tubular epithelium
nephrotoxic agents that can cause ATN
gentamicin, radiographic contrast agents, heavy metals, carbon tetrachloride
common scenarios that lead to ATN
transfusion reaction, ethylene glycol or methanol poisoning, hemoglobinuria or myoglobinuria (crush injury, alcohol binges), shock
ischemic changes seen in tubular cell injury
cell swelling, blebbing, loss of polarity, necrosis/apoptosis
this signals feedback mechanism to constrict afferent arteriole (decreasing delivery of filtrate) in ATN pathogenesis
increased Na in distal tubules
this complicates tubular ischemia (other than change in glomerular flow rate)
reflex vasoconstriction and decreased GFR
this determines re-epithelializatoin and return of tubule function
integrity tubular BM
this makes up casts in ATN -> huge glycoprotein secreted in loop of Henle and distal tubules
Tamm-Horsfall protein
these all contribute to cast formation in ATN (eosinophilic hyaline or pigmented granular casts)
Tamm-Horsfall protein, hemoglobin, myoglobin, plasma proteins
where Tamm-Horsfall proteins are secreted
loop of Henle and distal tubules
