Q

Risk factors for renal cell carcinoma

A

Smoking
Obesity
Age
Male
Genetics

16
Q

When does diagnosis of renal cell carinoma usually happen

A

Once the cancer cells have metastized

17
Q

Renal cell carcinoma clinical manifestations

A

Early - NONE
Late -
1. CVA tenderness
2. Hematuria
3. Possible palpable abdominal mass

18
Q

Where does renal cell carcinoma usually metastize to

A

Bones or lungs

19
Q

How is renal cell carcinoma treated

A

Surgery to remove kidney

renal cell carcinoma is usually resistant to chemotherapy

20
Q

Risk factors for urethelial carcinoma

A

Smoking
Male
Occupations with exposure to toxins
Low fluid intake

21
Q

Clinical manifestation of urethelial carcinoma

A

Early - Hematuria
Late -
1. Frequency
2. Urgency
3. Dysuria

22
Q

Types of chemo treatments for urethelial Carcinoma

A

Stage 1 - Intravesical chemo
Advanced stages - Systemic chemo

23
Q

BCG vaccine

Indications, MOA, and adverse effects

A

Indications: 1st stage of urethelial carcinoma
MOA: Stimulates inflammatory response to the bladder
Adverse effects: Bladder irritation, systemic infection

24
Q

BCG Vaccine

Patient instructions

A
  1. Empty bladder
  2. Instill BCG vaccine into the bladder through I/O Catheter (Dwells for 2 hours)
  3. Change positions q 15 minutes
25
Q

BCG vaccine

safety precautions

A

Live vaccine - Contraindicated in immunocompromised

HIV, AIDS, etc

26
Q

Type 2 vs Type 3 Sensitivity Reactions

A

Type 2: Reactions occur on the cell surface and result in cell death or malfunction
Type 3: Immune complexes are deposited into tissues and the resulting inflammation destroys the tissue

27
Q

2 Types of injuries resulting in glomerulonephritis

A
  1. Antibodies attach to antigens of the glomerular basement membrane (“Anti-GBM Antibodies) - 5%
  2. Antibodies react with circulating antigens and are deposited as immune complexes in the GBM - 95%
28
Q

Clinical manifestations of acute glomerulonephritis

A

Hematuria
Azotemia
Retention of Na+ and water (decreased uOP leads to HTN and edema)
Proteinuria

HARP

29
Q

Causes of acute glomerulonephritis

A

Poststreptococcal infection
Berger disease
Goodpasture syndrome
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Vasculitis

30
Q

Pathogenesis of acute glomerulonephritis

A
  1. Trigger
  2. Immune complexes form
  3. Complement activated
  4. release of mediators
  5. tissue injury
  6. Hematuria, proteinuria, decreased GFR
31
Q

Prognosis for chronic glomerulonephritis

A

Slow progressive desruction of glomerulus leading to ESRD

32
Q

What is nephrotic syndrome?

A

The glomerulus is too permeable leading to plasma proteins leaking into the urine

Elimination of >3g of protein per day into the urine

33
Q

What diseases cause nephrotic syndrome

A

Glomerulonephritis
Diabetes mellitus

34
Q

Pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome

A
  1. Increased glomerular permeability
  2. Proteinuria
  3. Hypoalbuminemia
35
Q

Clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome

A
  1. Edema
  2. HTN
  3. Liver problems -
    * Hyperlipidemia
    * Hypercoagulation
    * Loss of antithrombin III and plasminogen (DVTs and PE)
36
Q

DM complications r/t nephrotic syndrome

A

Diabetic neuropathy
* Major complication
* Gross thickening of GBM
* Ultimately leads to ESRD

37
Q

HTN complications r/t nephrotic syndrome

A

Hypertensive glomerular disease
Decreased renal perfusion leads to scarring of glomerulus

38
Q

Clinical manifestations of glomerulopathy

A

FLuid retention
increased BUN/Cr ratio
Proteinuria
Decreased albumin (blood protein)
