Renal tubular disease Flashcards
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) def
metabolic acidosis caused by impaired acid secretion by kidneys
Type 1 RTA
Inability to excrete H ions in the distal tubule
Type 2 RTA
Defective HCO3 reabsorption in the proximal tubule
Type 3
type 1+2
Type 4 RTA
Low renin
Low aldosterone
Causes of type 1 RTA
SLE
Sjogrens
Amphotericin (antifungal)
Type 1 RTA sx
Rickets/osteomalacia (buffering of H with Ca)
UTIs
Calcium phosphate stones
Ix for type RTA
urine pH <5.5 despite metabolic acidosis
Rx of type 1 RTA
Calcium bicarb or citrate
Dx of type 2 RTA
IV sodium bicarb
high fraction of excreted HCO3 (>15%)
Rx of type 2 RTA
high dose bicarb
Type 4 RTA causes
Addisons
Diabetic nephropathy
Interstitial nephritis
Type 4 RTA rx
Rx cause
Rx hyperkalaemia
Fanconi syndrome pathophysiology
proximal tubular defect
Loss of amino acids, glucose, PO4, HCO3 in urine
Effect of Fanconi syndrome
dehydration
metabolic acidosis
osteomalacia/rickets
Congenital causes of Fanconi
Wilson’s
Tyrosinaemia
Lowe syndrome
Acquired causes of fanconi
heavy metal poisoning
gentamaicin
myeloma
amyloid
Sjograns
Fanconi rx
replace missing stuff
remove cause
Heridetary hypokalaemic tubulopathies
Bartter syndrome
Gitelman syndrome
Bartter
low K
metabolic alkalosis
high urine Ca
Inherited version of LOOP DIURETICS effect
Gitelman
Low K
Metabolic alkalosis
low urine Ca
Inherited version of THIAZIDEs effect
