Renal Flashcards
what vessel blocks a horseshoe kidney
IMA
unilateral agenesis
hypertrophy of other one
bilateral renal agenesis
- oligohydramnios
- leads to lung hyperplasia (no stretch
- low set ears and limb defects (Potter sequence)
dysplastic kidney
- congenital malformation, non inherited
- cartilage and cyst
- usually unilateral
adult polycystic kidney
- bilateral
- autosomal dominant
- enlarged kidney
- APKD1/2
- associated with berry aneurysm, hepatic cysts and mitral valve prolapse
newborn polycystic kidney disease
- recessive
- congenital hepatic fibrosis and hepatic cysts (portal hypertension)
medullary cystic kidney disease
- cysts are in medullary collecting ducts
- shrunken kidneys
- autosomal dominant
hallmark of renal failure
- azotemia and oliguria
prerenal failure (labs)
- lower GFR, azotemia and oliguria
- high BUN:Cr (reabsorption still works)
- tubular function is intact - low FeNa
postrenal (labs)
- decrease GFR and azotemia
- early = high BUN:Cr and normal FENa
- late = decrease BUN:Cr ratio, high FENa, unconcentrated urine
ATN
- injury of tubules (detachment of cells from BM)
- azotemia with low BUN:Cr, high FENa
- muddy brown casts in urine
etiology of ATN
ischemia and nephrotoxicity
areas susceptible to ischemia
proximal tubule and medullary segment or thick ascending limb
causes of ATN
antibiotics, lead, crush, ethylene glycol, radiocontrast dye, urate (tumor lysis)
crystals in ethylene glycol poisoning
oxalate crystals
features of ATN
- oliguria with muddy brown casts
- high BUN and creatinine
- hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis
what happens post ATN
cells are stable, takes time to regenerate
acute interstitial nephritis
- drugs including NSAIDs, PCN and diuretics
- inflammation in interstitium
- eosinophils in urine
renal papillary necrosis
- gross hematuria and flank pain
- caused by aspirin, sickle cell
labs in nephrotic syndrome
- hypoalbuminemia (albumin >3.5)
- hypergammaglobulinemia
- hypercoagulable state (lose ATIII)
- hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia (blood is thin so fat goes in blood)
minimal change disease
- children
- associated with Hodgkins lymphoma
- loss of foot processes from cytokines
- normal glomeruli with no immune complexes
- no loss of immunobloblulin
- good response to steroids
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
- can be associated with HIV, heroin or sickle cell
- effacement of foot processes on EM
- no immune complexes
- progression of MCD
membranous nephropathy
- associated with hepatitis B/C, SLE or drugs
- thick glomerular basement membrane
- immune complex deposition (granular)
- spike and dome - subepithelial
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
- thick capillary membranes with tram-track appearance
- immune complex deposition (granular)
- mesangial cell is proliferating
- deposits can be anywhere
two types of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
type 1 - subendothelial (Hep B/C and tram tracks)
type 2 - within BM (antibody C3 nephritic factor - too much C3 convertase)
locations of immune complexes
- subepithelial - membranous nephropathy
- in BM - type 2 MPGN
- subendothelial - type 1 MPGN
grouping of nephropathies
- MCD and FSGN - effacement of foot process by cytokines
- membranous and MPGN - membranes with immune complexes
- diabetes and amyloidosis (systemic disease)
