Renal Inflammation Flashcards
What is the functional criteria of Acute Kidney Injury?
Increase in serum creatine by 50% within 7 days
or
Increase in serum creatine by 0.3 mg/dl within 2 days
or
Oliguria
What are the causes of AKI?
Hypoxia inducing illnesses
Intravascuplar Volume Depletion and Hypotension
Decreased Effective Intravascular volume
Hepatorenal syndrome
Sepsis
Renal vascular disease
What is the major cause of acute renal failure?
Ischemic acute kidney injury leading to metabolic acidosis and ATP depletion
How are DAMPs released?
Released from parachymal kidney cells during ECM degredation
What binds DAMPS and activates the classical complement pathway?
C-reactive Proteins
How do DAMPS induce innate immune response and renal inflammation?
Binding to toll-like receptors
What are the examples of DAMPS discussed?
HMGB1
Uric Acid
HSPs (Exosomes)
S100 protein (cytoplasm)
Hylauronans in ECM
What cell is activated during acute kidney injuries and infections?
Dendritic Cells
What cell is activated during IC-GN, diabetes, and sepsis?
Endothelial cells
What to endothelial cells release as part of an inflammatory response?
TNF, IL-6, Chemokines, and IFNa
What are the pattern recognition receptors discussed?
Toll-like
NOD like
C-type lectin
What do M2 cells release as part of the anti-inflammatory response?
What is the overall function of an M2 cell?
Arginase-I
IL-10
Clearance of apoptotic cells
What activates a classically activated M1?
PAMPS and DAMPS through binding of TLR and other PRRs
IFN-y also promotes differentiation
What factors reprogram an M2 cell?
CSF-1 (M-CSF)
IL-10
What induces M2 activation?
IL-4 and IL-13
