Renal Pathology - Dr. Dobson Part 1 Flashcards
most sensitive time in utero
week 3-9 peaking 4th and 5th
cause most commonly for glomerular and tubular and interstitial renal disorders
Glomerular = immunological
Tubular + interstitial = toxic or infectious
glomerular capillary filtration barrier 3 layers
- endothelium :
- BM :
- foot processes Podocytes:
glomerular endothelium is made up of what
fenestrated and permeable to water, small solutes, small proteins (not cells, large proteins, plts)
= - charges (repel albumin

= - charges (repel albumin
the endothelial cells of Bowmans capsule release what chemical substances
- NO = vasodilator
- Endothelin-1 = vasoconstrictor
(control Renal plasma flow RPF)
the basement membrane is composed of what
- charge matrix
= charge selective barrier
= also size barrier
kidney role in endocrine ways
erythropoietin, renin, PGE, regulates Vit D metabolism
6 warning signs of kidney disease
- Cr and BUN high
- GFR < 60
- blood, protein in urine
- high BP
- high urination, painful urination
- puffy eyes or hands or feet
distal tubule role
secretes H+ and reabsorbs the HCO-3
buffers for H+
HPO4 and NH3 = H2PO3 + NH4+
Azotemia
elevated BUN and Cr
from decreased GFR
Uremia
Azotemia that has sx
uremic frosting can be seen
BUN is made how
Urea N broken down in liver from protein making BUN
it then goes to the kidneys
ideal BUN : Cr ratio
10:1 - 20:1
prerenal azotemia
CHF burns GI hemorrage Shock, stress dehydration
renal level azotemia
GN Pylo DM Nephrotoxic drugs renal failure anabolic steroids
Post renal azotemia
stones , neoplasm
bladder urethral abnormality
bladder outlet obstruction (BPH)
GFR is what and normal
how much blood passes glomeruli each minute
- estimated from serum cr
= 90mL/min/1.73m2 or higher
proteinuria Nephritic syndrome SX
- hematuria + RBC casts
- HTN
- low GFR
- mild proteinuria
Proteinuria Nephrotic Syndrome
- heavy proteinuria
- hypoalbuminuria = edema
- hyperlipidemia, lipiduria
dip stick use
usually only in EM
AKI
rapid decline in GFR (hours to days)
= fluid electrolyte dysregulation
= high CR and BUN
= low or no urine can happen (ATI)
CKD
low GFR under 60 for at least 3mos,
= also albuminuria can happen
CKD is end stage of what
chronic renal parenchymal disease
CKD usually effects what pts
DM and HTN
Wilms tumor effects
developmental abnormalities in kidney and urinary tract
most common cause of chronic kidney disease in children
renal dysplasias and hypoplasias
Prune Belly Syndrome prevalence and 5 common SX
male
- Hydroureteronephrosis
- Vesicourereral reflux (VUR) bilateral
- renal dysplasia
- cryptochidism bilateral
- UTIs common
Bilateral agenesis
usually un stillborn infants
only compatible with life if unilateral
unilateral agenesis of kidney can progress to what
glomerular sclerosis or hypertrophy nephrons
renal hypoplasia is common when
in low birth weight infants
ectopic kidney can be found where
pelvis, iliac fossa, abd or thoracic cavities, contralateral positions
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
most common and serious anomaly
= high chance of pylo + loss of renal function
= can cause congenital vesicouterine fistulae (dilation of ureter)
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ) SX children
most common cause of hydronephrosis in infants
- UTI
- Hematuria
- FTT
- Sepsis
- azotemia
- Hydronephrosis
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ) what happens
ureter gets obstructed and compressed by a renal artery like the inferior segmental artery
Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ) SX adults
women
- UTI
- hematuria
- ABD pain or V from intermittent obstruction
3 sites that have high risk of constriction of the ureter
Ureteropelvic junction (as it exits kidney)
Crossing the iliac artery and pelvic brim
When entering bladder
renal diverticuli
pouches forming in bladder or ureter
= 1cm-10cm
= can cause infection and rare carcinoma
Extrophy of bladder
NO anterior wall development for abd and bladder
= exposed bladder mucosa
Extrophy of bladder can cause what
the exposed mucosa can go through colonic glandular metaplasia (adenocarcinoma) + infections to upper GU
urachal cyst
the urachal canal and bladder is connected by allantois that is obliterated however if not it makes the urachus cyst (metaplastic glandular epithelium cyst on umbilicus)
urachal cyst can become
adenocarcinoma
Malformation of urethral groove
ventral (Hypospadias) or dorsal (epispadias) opening of penis
Hypospadias and epispadias can cause what
ascending infection of urinary tracts
or if as base of penis can cause X ejactulation
Cryptorchidism
partial or complete failure of testes to descend into scrotal sac
= usually unilateral
Cryptorchidism can cause what
testicular cancer
= also can at times present in hypospadias
4 diseases that usually effect the glomerulous
- DM
- HTN
- SLE
- Fabry disease
Basement membrane layers
- Lamina rara interna (loose)
- Central Lamina densa
- Lamina rara externa (loose)
layers from capillary to urine lumen (tubule)
- capillary fenestrated endothelium
- BM (3 layers)
- Podocytes and foot processes (visceral epithelial cells)
Acute response to glomerular injury is what
- mesangial and endothelial cells swell and proliferate + WBCs come proliferate = Endocapillary proliferation
- glomerular epithelial cells proliferation from injury that causes plasma proteins leakage into urine —-> activate coagulation = CRESCENTS formation + WBCs go into these
Chronic Response to glomerular injury
THICKENING OF BM or CAPILLARY WALLS :
- immune complexes deposition, fibrin, amyloid, cryoglobulins deposition in GBM
- Protein synthesis in GBM= Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
- More layers (matrixes) form in BM = Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN)
Hyalinosis
ECM amorphous material leak into glomerulous
= can obliterate capillary lumens if glomerular tuft
= usually from endothelial or epithelial injury + end stage
Sclerosis
EXM collagenous matrix leak deposition in mesangial cells or capillary loops
= in Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
= can obliterate capillaries
Sclerosis
EXM collagenous matrix leak deposition in mesangial cells or capillary loops
= in Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
= can obliterate capillaries
Podocytopathy
loss of podocytes which have limited replication capability
= seen in FSGF and diabetic neuropathy
= causes proteinuria
Podocytopathy can happen from what things happening
immune complex deposition
when does progressive renal disease happen
once nephrons are destroyed so GFR is 30%-50% normal = progression starts independent or original disease
progressive renal disease causes what 2 things to happen
- Sclerosis : secondary FSGS, after many renal injuries (proteinuria + loss of renal function)
- Tubulointerstitial Injury : interstitial inflammation (in GN) + Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (Diabetic nephropathy)
decline in renal function is more correlated to what
extent of tubulointerstitial damage then glomerular damage
Acute Proliferative (Post-infectious and Infection-Associated) GN is what and caused by
immune complexes + glomerular cell proliferation
= most common for strep (Group A B-hemolytic Strep (GABH)
Acute Proliferative (Post-infectious and Infection-Associated) GN immunoflorescent staining
speckles from granular deposits of C3 (N that cause “humps”)
Rapidly Progressive GN (Crescentic) is what
fast loss of renal function (NEPHRITIC) + oliguria
Rapidly Progressive GN (Crescentic) Immunoflorescent stain
crescents glomeruli seen (know what this looks like) from PAS
= proliferating epithelial cells and WBS in BC
Type 1 Anti-GMB Abs is what
GOODPASTURE SYNDROME
= AB against a3 of collagen4
= can effect lungs (pulmonary hemorrhage)
Type 1 Anti-GMB Abs prevalence
male 20yo, often smokers
= autoimmune
glomerular lesions are formed from what 3 autoimmune diseases and what is seen in this
- Goodpasture
- Microscopic polyangiitis
- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegner’s)
= glomerular necrosis + crescent formation** + scarring sclerosis
Rapid Progressing GN (RPGN) types
- Type 1 Anti-GMB Abs = (GP syndrome)
- Type 2 Immune complex = (SLE, Henoch - Schönlein Purpura, IgA nephropathy BERGER, post-infectious GN)
- Type 3 Pauci- Immune = (Wegner GPA + Microscopic PA, Membranous nephropathy, Minimal change disease, FSGS, MPGN)
