A

Acute nephritic syndrome

34
Q

Progression of renal failure over days to weeks, often in the context of nephritic syndrome. Does not have a specific cause, but involves proliferation of glomerular cells. Characterized by formation of crescents initiated by the passage of fibrin into the Bowman’s space as a consequence of increased permeability of the basement membrane.

A

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

35
Q

An autoimmune disease caused by the formation of antibodies to the basement membrane and is an example of RPGN.

A

Goodpasture syndrome

36
Q

Not a specific disease but a constellation of findings resulting from glomerular permeability and protein loss to the urine. Characterized by massive loss of proteinuria and lipiduria.

A

Nephrotic syndrome

37
Q

Oftentimes does not present with outward signs and symptoms. May be due to the presence of IgA immune complexes that result in glomerular inflammation.

A

Asymptomatic hematuria or proteinuria

38
Q

A hereditary form of nephritis associated with mutations in the collagen biosynthesis pathway genes. Most commonly inherited as an x-linked autosomal dominant trait.

A

Alport syndrome

39
Q

Characterized by persistent proteinuria with or without hematuria and slowly progresses to chronic renal failure. Characterized by irreversible and progressive glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

A

Chronic glomerulonephritis

40
Q

Disorders that affect interstitial space surrounding the renal tubules. May be either acute or chronic.

A

Tubulointerstitial disease

41
Q

An infection of the kidney tissue and pelvis, usually by bacteria. Bacteria are usually gram negative and come from GI tract.

A

Acute pyelonephritis

42
Q

Often occurs as a result of hematogenous spread of bacteria and infection via the urethra or instrumentation.

A

Acute pyelonephritis

43
Q

May be idiopathic or associated with renal obstruction or reflux (substances that have descended down the ureter then come back up). Obstructions may be kidney stones, neurogenic or congenital such as strictures. Represents a progressive disease characterized by scarring and deformation of the renal calyces.

A

Chronic pyelonephritis

44
Q

Most common cause of acute kidney injury characterized by a rapid decline in renal function. Typically see elevations in BUN levels and creatinine with a decline in urine output.

A

Acute tubular necrosis

45
Q

Acute tubular necrosis is classified into these 2 categories:

A
  1. Ischemic

2. Nephrotoxic

46
Q

Results from a decreased perfusion or inadequate oxygenation to the renal tubules.

A

Ischemic atn

47
Q

Results from a number of agents that directly and specifically damage the renal tubules .

A

Nephrotoxic atn

48
Q

Three phases of ATN:

A
  1. Initiation
  2. Maintenance
  3. Recovery
49
Q

This phase of ATN is dominated by the initiating cause of ATN and azotemia. Usually lasts for several years.

A

Initiation phase

50
Q

This phase of ATN is characterized by oliguria. Lasts for about a week. Most fatalities occur in this phase.

A

Maintenance

51
Q

This phase of ATN is characterized by profuse diuresis with continues recovery of renal function. Full recovery may take years.

A

Recovery phase

52
Q

2 forms of poly cystic kidney disease:

A
  1. Adult autosomal dominant form

2. Infantile autosomal recessive form

53
Q

This is one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases.

A

PKD

54
Q

Involves the obstruction of urine flow as it exits from the kidney toward the bladder.

A

Obstructive disorders

55
Q

Obstruction of urine outflow can also give rise to:

A

Hydronephrosis or dilation of the renal pelvis resulting in atrophy of kidney

56
Q

Most common cause of upper urinary tract obstruction.

A

Renal calculi

57
Q

This is released by the posterior pituitary and is released in response to either low blood pressure or increased concentration of salts.

A

ADH

58
Q

This results in fluid overload or a dilution syndrome.

A

SIADH

59
Q

A condition in which kidneys are unable to conserve water. Patients have polydipsia and polyurea.

A

Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of:

A

ADH

61
Q

Types of diabetes insipidus:

A
  1. Central

2. Nephrogenic

62
Q

Is characterized by a decrease in kidney function resulting in insufficient filtration of products from the blood.

A

Renal failure

63
Q

This is characterized by an acute insult that produces a rapid loss of function. It is often reversible with adequate treatment.

A

Acute renal failure

64
Q

This is the progressive deterioration of function. Is usually not reversible.

A

Chronic renal failure

65
Q

Renal failure is determined by a decrease in this:

A

GFR

66
Q

Indicated that the underlying cause is due to the blood supply to the kidney.

A

Prerenal

67
Q

Indicates that the underlying cause is within the kidney itself.

A

Intrinsic or intrarenal

68
Q

Indicates that there are problems with the urinary tract or the outflow from the kidney.

A

Postrenal

69
Q

Is manifested by oliguria and a disproportionate elevation of BUN relative to serum creatinine levels.

A

Prerenal failure

70
Q

Most common cause of intrinsic or intrarenal disease is:

A

ATN

71
Q

Results from obstruction of urine outflow from the kidneys:

A

Postrenal diseas

72
Q

The progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years.

A

Chronic kidney disease

73
Q

As kidney function decreases:

A
  1. Bp may increase
  2. Urea accumulates leading to azotemia
  3. Hyperkalemia
  4. Anemia and fatigue
  5. Fluid volume overload
  6. Elevated phosphate
  7. Hypocalcemia
74
Q

Refers to a general condition of elevated serum levels of nitrogen containing substances in the blood including urea, creatinine, and Uric acid.

Q

Refers to the clinical syndrome of renal failure with azotemia:

A

Uremia

76
Q

77
Q

The bladder is innervated by this but under the control of this.

A

Autonomic nervous system

CNS

78
Q

This is characterized by a failure to store urine and results from neural lesions above the level of the sacral cord.

A

Spastic bladder

79
Q
