Renal Approach To Proteinuria And Polyuria - Dr. Grin Flashcards

1
Q

3 layers of glomerulous

A
  1. Fenestrated Capillary Endothelium : keep out cells (RBC, WBC)
  2. Glomerular BM : keep out plasma proteins (albumin)
  3. Podocytes : keep out plasma proteins

Q

minimal change disorder

A

most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children (idiopathic or post infection)

24
Q

focal segmental glomerulonephritis can be caused by

A

HIV, heroin use, chronic reflux 1

25
Q

DX nephrotic syndrome is done with what

A
  1. serum Cr = GFR
  2. urinalysis micoscopy (not dipstick, to see casts and cells)
  3. urine albumin/cr, protien / cr
  4. HIV, Hep B/C, SPEP - amyloid, lipids, A1C testing
26
Q

Membranous nephrotic syndrome is causes by `

A

(HEP b,c, syphilis, SLE, solid tumors)

27
Q

TX nephrotic syndrome

A
  1. immunosuppressants
  2. loop diuretic + Na restriction (edema)
  3. control BP + ACE/ ARBs (proteinuria)
  4. statin (hyperlipidemia)
28
Q

ACE/ ARBs should be used when

A

protective agains renal failure in nephrotic syndrome

= should not be used if renal failure has progressed to hyperkalemia

29
Q

nephritic syndrome is what

A

immune response damaging capillary endothelium = RBC and WBCs leak into Glomerulus
= RBC casts
= Pyuria (from WBC)

30
Q

nephritic syndrome sx

A
  1. inflammation –> oliguria* (low GFR) –> AKI*
  2. Azotemia
  3. pyuria (WBC)
    = increase renin = rapid HTN*
  4. Hematuria **
31
Q

when is AKI from nephritic syndrome usually seen

A

in ANCA conditions

and Goodpasture’s

32
Q

immune complex problems in nephritic syndrome

A
  1. low complement :
    - Post infection (strep) +
    - SLE nephritis
  2. normal complement :
    - IgA nephropathy
33
Q

SLE can cause what (kidneys)

A

rapidly progressive glomeruolnephritis = EM (nephritic syndrome)

can also cause membranous nephrotic syndrome

34
Q

IgA nephropathy does what to kidney

A

hematuria (nephritic syndrome) DURING URI infection

not after like in post strep nephritic syndrome

35
Q

pulmonary renal syndromes and what can they do

A

ANCA
Anti - GBM
= can progress to rapidly progressive GN

36
Q

3 things causing nephritic syndrome that are ANCA

A
  1. Wegners
  2. microscopic polyangiitis
  3. eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
37
Q

nephritic syndrome DX how

A
  1. serum Cr : GFR
  2. urinalysis microscopy
  3. urine albumin/cr, protein/ cr
  4. ANCA, Anto-GBM, ANA, complement testing
38
Q

active vs bland urine

A

nephritic syndrome : ACTIVE (RBC, WBC, RBC casts) only some protein

nephrotic syndrome : BLAND : high proteins

39
Q

nephritic syndrome TX when rapidly progressing GN

A

renal consult
HIGH STEROIDS
Plasma exchange

40
Q

Polyuria is what

A

more then 3L urine in 24hrs

41
Q

serum osmolality is regulated by what

A

thirst and ADH

42
Q

ADH

A

released from hypothalamus and released from PP
= bind to vasopressin receptor 2
= increase aquaporins to open
= increase water back to blood (decrease osmolality)

43
Q

4 causes of polyuria

A
  1. osmotic diuresis
  2. central diabetes insipidus
  3. nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
  4. primary polydipsia
44
Q

central diabetes insipidus is what

A

low ADH = cant concentrate urine

45
Q

nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

A

kidneys dont respond to ADH that binds

46
Q

primary polydipsia

A

patient is drinking excessive water

47
Q

osmotic diuresis

A

high solutes in blood

= glucosuria (high glucose in tubules)—-> more water into tubules

48
Q

Osmotic diuresis from glucosuria DX

A

Dipstick : high glucose + high urine osmolality > 300mOsm/L

49
Q

Diabetes Insipidus sx

A

large diluted urine output
tasteless
= you drink more water a lot

50
Q

Central Diabetes Insipidus causes that can cause it

A

trauma
tumor
congenital

51
Q

Central Diabetes Insipidus what happens when they are thirsty overnight

A

no change in ADH levels

52
Q

Central Diabetes Insipidus TX

A
  1. drink more water

2. Desmopressin to administer ADH

53
Q

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus can be caused by what

A
  1. Lithium (medication for bipolar disorder)**

2. congenital abnormal vasopressin Rs or aquaporins

54
Q

Diabetes Insipidus and NA level

A

hypernatremia usually however can be compensated with drinking water

55
Q

Primary Polydipsia SX

A

urine osmolality is low

and this increases over night

55
Q

Primary Polydipsia SX

A

urine osmolality is low

and this increases over night

56
Q

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus TX

A
  1. drink more water

2. Thiazide diuretics
