Renal Diseases Flashcards
Deposition of immune complexes, formed in conjunction with group a streptococcus infection, on the glomerular membranes
Acute Glomerulonephritis
Deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders on the glomerular membrane
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Attchment of a cytotoxic antibody formed during viral respiratory infections to glomerular and alveolar basement membranes
Goodpasture syndrome
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody binds to neutrophils in vascular walls producing damage to small vessels in the lungs and glomerulus
Wegener granulomatosis
Occurs primarily in children following viral respiratory infections; a decrease in platelets disrupts vascular integrity
Henoch-schonlein purpura
Thickening of the glomerular membrane following igG immune complex deposition associated with systemic disorders
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Cellular proliferation affecting the capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane, possibly immune-mediated
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Marked decrease in renal function resulting from glomerular damage precipitated by other renal disease
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Deposition of IgA on the glomerular membrane resulting from increased levels of serum igA
IgA nephropathy
Disruption of the shield of negativity and damage to the tightly fitting podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of protein and lipids
Nephrotic syndrome
Disruption of the podocytes occuring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunization
Minimal change disease
Disruption of podocytes in certain areas of glomeruli associated with heroin and analgesic abuse and AIDS
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Genetic disorder showing lamellated and thinning glomerular basement membrane
Alport syndrome
Diagnosis to wegener granulomatosis is ..
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody
ANCA
Diagnosis to goodpasture syndrome is the presence of …
Antiglomerular basement membrane antibody
Damage to renal tubular cells caused by ischemia or toxic agents
Acute tubular necrosis
Inherited in association with cystinosis and hartnup diseas or acquired through exposure to toxic agents
Fanconi syndrome
Inherited defect in the production of normal uromodulin by the renal tunules and increased uric acid causing gout
Uromodulin-associated kidney disease
Inherited defect of tubular response to ADH or acquired from medications
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Inherited autosomal recessive trait.
Renal glucosuria
A procedure using high-energy shockwaves , can be used to break down stones located in the upper urinary tract into pieces that can then be passed to urine.
Lithotripsy
Ascending bacterial infection of the bladder
Cystisis
Infection of the renal tubules and interstitium related to interference of urine flow to the bladder, reflux of urine from the bladder and untreated cystisis
Acute pyelonephritis
Recurrent infection of the renal tubules and interstitium caused by structural abnormalities affecting the flow of urine
Chronic pyelonephiritis
