Q

what is primary VUR

when the valve formed between the ureter and bladder doesn’t close properly leading urine reflux to the ureter and kidney

54

CKD

59
Q

gradual decline in GFR that progesses over a period of years

60

renal funciton is insufficient to maintain homeostasis

61
Q

A

nope :(

62
Q

name 5 causes of CKD

A

diabetes
hypertension
FSGS
genetic mutations
immune disorders

63
Q

many CKD forms involve what

A

glomerular injury

64
Q

what is the filtration barrier in the glomerulus

A

3-layered structure that allows small molecules to pass through while blocking larger ones

65
Q

what are the 3 parts of the filtration barrier

A

fenestrated endothelial cells
glomerular basement membrane
podocytes

66
Q

molecules over what MW are not freely filtered

A

over 10 000MW

67
Q

does the glomerular capillary basement membrane have fixed negative or positive charges

A

negative

68
Q

why is albumin not filtered out

A

because both it AND the basement membrane of the glomerulus are negatively charged so they repel

69
Q

what cells tend to take the brunt of the injury in a lot of kidney diseases

A

podocytes

70
Q

what are 3 risks of proteinuria

A

kidney failure
heart disease
high blood pressure

71
Q

what is a primary glomerulopathy

a disorder taht affects glomerular structure/function in the absence of a multi-system disorder

72
Q

what do primary glomerulophaties result in

A

74
Q

Nephritic syndrome

A

group of disorders that cause swelling or inflammation of the internal kidney structures

75
Q

what are the 3 categories of albuminuria

A

A1- microalbuminuria
A2 - macroalbuminuria
