Renal Exam II Path Flashcards
2 major processes for tubular injury
ischemic and toxic (aki) or inflammatory (tubulointerstitial nephritis)
what are the 4 causes of AKI
ischemia, direct toxic injury to tubules, hypersensitivity reaction, urinary obstruction
focal tubular epithelial necrosis at multiple points
ischemic AKI
when can you see tubulorrhexis, what is it?
ishchemic AKI - rupture of basement membranes
this causes occlusion of tubular lumens
brown granular casts
the Tamm hors fall protein composes?
hyaline casts
3 main substances that cause toxic AKI
mercuric chlrodie, carbon tetrachlroide, ethylene glycol
where do you see injury during toxic AKI
proximal convoluted
This causes large acidophilic inclusions within cells, cells can be sloughed into lumen and have calcification
mercuric chloride
this substance causes accumulation of neutral lipids
carbon tetrachlroide
this causes marked ballooning and hydropic or vacuolar degeneration of proximal convoluted tubules
ethylene glycol
what type of crystals are see in with ethylene glycol ingestion
calcium oxalate crystals
what are the clinical findings of AKI
oliguria, increased BUN and creatine, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis
What drugs cause acute tubulointerstitial nephritis
penicillins, dirutetics, NSAIDS
what are clinical presentations of tubulointerstitial nephritis
eosinophilia in urine, edema, rash,
this is characterized by chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and renal papillary necrosis
analgesic nephropathy
what people generally get analgesic nephropathy
women, recurrent headaches, muscle pain, neurotic patients, factory workers.
what are the three types of irate nephropathy in people with hyperuricemic disorders
Acute uric acid nephropathy, Chronic irate nephropathy, nephrolithiasis
this is likely to occur in those with leukemias or lymphomas undergoing chemo (collecting ducts)
acute uric acid nephropathy - precipitation of uric acid crystals
this forms birefringeent needle like crystals and induce a typhus within distal tubules and collecting ducts
chronic urate nephropathy (gout)
hypercalcemia is caused by
hyperparathyroidism,multiple myeloma, vitamin d intox, metastatic cancer, excess calcum intake
where is the earliest damage with nephrocalcinosis seen?
mitochondiral distortion
someone preparing for a colonoscopy might get?
acute phosphate nephropathy
what is light chain cast nephropathy?
bence jones proteins combine with urinary glycoprotein under acidic conditions to form large tubular casts that obstruct lumen and induce inflammation
multiple myelomas can cause
light chain cast nephropathy
pink- bus amorphous masses?
bence jones tubular casts
