Renal disorders Flashcards
what is renal blood flow
1200ml/min
what percent of blood goes to the cortex
90
what percent of blood goes to the medulla
1-2
how many L of blood is filtered in 24 hours
180L
when do children reach adult GFR proportions
2 years old
what is the GFR
rate at which plasma moves through the golmerular capillaries
why do men have a higher GFR
due to the higher Body Surface Area
what is the driving force for GFR
glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure
what is the formula for GFR
Kf (Pgc -(Pt +COPgc))
what does Kf stand for
ultrafiltration coefficient
what does Pgc stand for
glomerluar capillary pressrue
what does Pt stand for
tubular pressure
what does COP stand for
colloid osmotic pressure
what does UFP stand for
net filtration pressure
what is the gold standard of substances used to measure GFR
inulin
what is the clinical standard of substances used to measure GFR
creatine
what are the 3 substances used to measure GFR
inulin
Creatinine
Cystatin C
GFR=
(Uin * V)/ Pin
what secretes creatinine
proximal tubules
what is the range of normal plasma Cr
50-110 umol/L
Plasma creatinine relects GFR in what kind of kidney disease
Chronic
plasma creatinine does not accurately reflect GFR in what kind of kidney disease
Acute kidney injury
what is the normal GFR range
90-120mL/min/1.73m^2
what is AKI
sudden decrease in GFR to a level insufficient to maintain homeostasis
factors upstream of the kidney with AKI is known as
pre-renal failure
intrinsic renal failure factors with AKI are known as
primary renal failure
factors downstream of the kidney with AKI are known as
post-renal failure
what are pre-renal failure usually related to
decreased perfusion, CHF or low BP
intrinsic renal failure is usually due to
toxins, obstructions to blood flow, RPGN
post renal failure is typically due to
obstruction of urine flow
what is the RIFLE criteria used for
classifying acute kidney injury due to the degree of impairment present
what does RIFLE stand for
risk
Injury
failure
loss
end stage renal disease
Risk definition (RIFLE)
serum creatinine increased 1.5 times or urine production of under 0.5ml/kg for 12 hours
Injury definition (RIFLE)
doubling of creatinine or urine production under 0.5 ml/kg for 12 hours
Failure definition (RIFLE)
tripling of creatinine or creatinine under 355 umol/L (with a rise of over 44) (over 4mg/dl) OR urine output below 0.3ml/kg for 24 hours
Loss definition (RIFLE)
persistent AKI or complete loss of kidney function for more than 4 weeks
End stage renal disease definition (RIFLE)
complete loss of kidney function for more than 3 montsh
Kidney stones and prostate enlargement are both what kinds of kidney disorders
post renal
what is nephrolithiasis
kidney stones
what are kidney stones made out of
calcium oxalate
struvite
uric acid
etc
what things can cause prostate englargement
cancer
BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasisa)
what two things typically cause kidney stones
low fluid intake
dietary protein/sodium, oxalate, grapefruit juice (acidity)
