Renal Pathology Flashcards
what does the BUN/Creatine ratio have to be to be pre renal problems
> 20
what kind of casts are seen in nephrotic syndrome
fatty casts
why is there hyperlipidemia in nephrotic syndrome
because of the lack of transfer proteins
what is one of the first proteins to be lost in nephrotic syndrome
antithrombin 3
what makes the glomerulus negative in charge
antithrombin 3
what casts are found in nephritic syndrome
RBC and neutrophil
azotemia is seen in nephritic syndrome why
because the nitrogenous waste builds up in the system due to the decreased GFR
the 5 nephritic syndromes
Alport syndrome IgA Nephropathy Acute strep glomerulonephritis rapidly progressive GN membranoproliferazive GN
5 nephrotic syndromes
-Diabetic GN
-Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
-Minimal Change disease
Membranous nephropathy
-Amyloidosis
erythropoietin is made where in the kidney
in the peritubular capillaries
respiratory alkalosis is fixed with what drug class
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
what are the two drugs that fix respiratory alkalosis and make the blood more acidic by not allowing the reabsorption of HCO3
- Azetozolamide
2. Dorzolamide
what are UDE of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
- kidney stones
name the four loop diuretics
- Furosemide
- Ethacrinic Acid
- Torsemide
- Bumetanide
which loop diuretic has the least amount of sulfa
Ethacrinic Acid
what is a UDE of loop diuretics
electrolyte imbalance because electrolytes are left in the tubules because these are antihypertensive drugs
where do thiazide diuretics work
distal convoluted tubule
what pump do thiazide diuretics work on
Ca+/Na+ counter transporter
what pump do thiazide diuretics activate
Ca+/Ca+ pump
what are two UDE of thiazides
hyponatremia
hypercalcemia
which drugs are given to decrease the chance of kidney stones
thiazides
which diuretics can block the beta cells in the pancreas and cause hyperglycemia and should not be used in diabetic patients
thiazide diuretics
what drugs block the aldosterone receptor
spironolactone and epleronon
