Renal Pathology II Flashcards
vascular resistance controlled in –
arterioles
factors that influence bp
blood volume, vascular resistant e, cardiac output, sodium content
T/F: renal disease can cause HTN and may be a cause of HTN
true
95% of HTN is –
primary, essential, idiopathic, benign
5% of HTN has - cause
renal or adrenal
mechanism of secondary HTN
renal artery stenosis
renal artery stenosis: – blood flow
decreased
renal artery stenosis has decreased blood flow –> pressure in afferent arteriole
decreased
renal artery stenosis induces
renin secretion
renal artery stenosis increases –
sodium reabsorption
HTN accelerates – in large and medium vessels
atherogenesis
HTN causes degenerative changes in –
medium vessels
How is small vessel HTN disease distinct from large vessel disease
arteriolar nephrosclerosis (expanded intima)
feature of arteriolar nephrosclerosis (in small vessel disease)
intimal hyalinosis (hyaline accumulates in tissues)
arteriolar nephrosclerosis causes –
loss of glomeruli through ischemia
ischemia activates –
renin secretion
T/F: glomerular loss results in loss of entire nephron
true
how are nephrons replaced?
by small areas of scarring
gross presentation of the result of small foci of scarring in benign nephrosclerosis
granular cortical surface
advanced renal disease is associated with people with chronic –
diabetes
clinical syndromes of diabetes
non-nephrotic proteinuria (not as high as nephrotic 3.5 g), nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal failure
HTN in diabetics increase the chance of –
diabetic nephropathy
what reduces diabetics’ risk for developing advanced renal disease?
better glycemic control
features of diabetic nephropathy
glomerular lesions
tubular lesions
vascular lesions
pyelonephritis
glomerular lesions in diabetics: thickened –
capillary loop BM
glomerular lesions in diabetics: diffuse –
mesangial sclerosis/expansion
glomerular lesions in diabetics: – glomerular sclerosis
nodular
nodular glomerular sclerosis aka
Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesion
what can reverse some changes of diabetic nephropathy?
pancreatic transplant
T/F: diabetes can affect all areas of kidney
true
what is the classic glomerular lesion?
nodular glomerular sclerosis
types of tubulointerstitial disease
acute tubular necrosis
tubulointerstitial nephrisits
obstruction (hydronephrosis)
