Renal Final SD3 Flashcards
What are the most common causes of renal kidney disease?
Intrinsic -> Tubular
Name the two types of Tubular Renal cell injury?
1.) Ischemia and inflammation
2.) Toxins
What are the causes of Ischemia and inflammation of renal tubular cell injury?
Sepsis, surgery, hypoperfusion
What type of toxins cause renal tubular cell injury?
Direct: aminoglycosides, cis platinum
Vasoconstriction: NSAIDs
Cyclosporin A, radiocontrast
What are the Urine sodium levels for Prerenal azotemia and acute tubular necrosis?
Pre-renal Azotemia urine sodium is less than 10-20 (low)
Acute Tubular Necrosis urine sodium is more than 20 -40 (high)
What are the Urine Osmolarity levels for Prerenal azotemia and acute tubular necrosis?
Pre-renal Azotemia is more than 500 (high)
Acute Tubular Necrosis is less than 350 (low)
What are the Fe sodium levels for pre-renal azotemia and acute tubular necrosis?
Pre-renal Azotemia is less than 1 (low)
Acute Tubular Necrosis is more than 1 (high)
What is the BUN/Cr ratio for pre-renal azotemia and acute tubular necrosis?
Pre-renal Azotemia is more than 20:1 (high)
Acute Tubular Necrosis is less than 10:1 (low)
What HST can you see in acute interstitial nephritis?
1 and IV
What are the signs and symptoms (inflammatory) of Acute Interstitial Nephritis?
Fever, Rash and arthralgias
What drugs cause Acute Interstitial Nephritis?
Antimicrobials: Beta-lactams (penicillin, ampicillin, methicillin)
NSAIDS
What are the G stages of eGFR?
G1 >90 underlying kidney
G5 <15 ESRD
G3a 45-59 mild moderately
G3b 30-44 moderate severely decreased
What are the findings on an ultrasound for ESRD?
Small, echogenic kidneys bilaterally (<10 cm) support diagnosis
Normal or even large (cystic) kidneys
What are the findings on an x-ray for ESRD?
1.) Renal osteodystrophy
2.) Subperiosteal reabsorption along radial sides of digital bones of hand
What is the cause for renal osteodystrophy?
secondary hyperparathyroidism where PTH levels have been elevated at least 1 year
What causes Renal Artery Stenosis?
HT; narrowing of one or both of the renal arteries most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.
What are the clinical features of renal failure?
Tachycardia, hypotension, decreased skin turgor and cool extremities
What is Fibromuscular Dysplasia?
Progressive twisting of the blood vessels throughout the body, typically in young women
What are the clinical features of Fibromuscular Dysplasia?
String of beads on an angiography
Severe HT, renal failure is unusual, if you stabilize the HT it will restore the kidney function completely (Revascularization)
What is Benign Nephrosclerosis?
Gradual decreased blood supply, finely granularity, the size is reduced or normal, grain of a leather appearance, fibrosis, irregular contracted kidney from HT, chronic inflammation
What is Malignant Nephrosclerosis?
Renal disease in an accelerated phase of hypertension (malignant HT – BP > 210/120 mm Hg
