Renal Urinary System part 2 Flashcards
Lupus Nephritis (SLE-systemimc lupus erythematosus with renal involvement)
x
syx
x
what are signs?
proteinuria, active urine sediment-(hematuria, RBC casts, RBC cells,) declining renal function
dx
x
what is required prior to guiding therapy?
kidney biopsy
signficant kidney involvement would show what?
proteinuria, active urine sediment-(hematuria, RBC casts, RBC cells,) declining renal function
what would complement levels show?
low serum complement (C3 and C4)
subtypes of lupus nephritis
x
what class is minimal mesangial involvemement, usually asyx, trx?
class I, no trx
what class is mesangial proliferative, with microscopic hematuria and proteinuria, trx?
class II, no trx
what class is focal with hematuria proteinuria, possible HTN, decreased GFR, variable prognosis, trx?
class III, immunosuppression with steroids (eg methylprednisolone, prednisone) and cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil
what class is diffuse histo pattern with poor prognosis , trx?
class IV, immunosuppression with steroids (eg methylprednisolone, prednisone) and cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil
what class is membranous and has nephrotic syndrome involved, trx?
class V, immunosuppression with steroids (eg methylprednisolone, prednisone) and cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil
what class is advanced sclerosing with progressive CKD with bland urinary sediment, trx?
class VI, no immunosupression
management
x
how do you track renal involvement and renal improvement with lupus nephritis?
anti-dsDNA (immune complexes that deposit on membrane) and complement levels (correlate well with disease activity)
Rhabdomyolysis
x
cause
x
what is the cause ?
muscular injury, PCP, trauma, toxin exposure
dx
x
what do the lab show?
elevated CK >10,000
what does the UA show?
blood with no RBCs (indicating myoglobinuria)
complications
x
what is a major complication of rhabdomyolysis?
AKI from myoglobinuria
trx
x
what is the major trx?
IV isotonic saline
Orthostatic Proteinuria
x
epid
x
most common cause of proetinuria in what age group?
adolescents
define
x
what is it?
abnoramlly high protein excretion during the day (when upright) but normal protein excertion at night (when supine)
dx
x
how do you ensure dx?
UA shows proteinuria and excludes hematuria, AKI
what makes you suspect orthostatic proteinuria?
24 h urine collection showing protien excretion, but not >3.5g/24 hr to make you think nephrotic syndrome
what is the test to dx orhtostatic proteinuria?
split (day and night) 24 hour urine collection , showing elevated daytime but normal nighttime protein excretion rates
management
x
what is the best management for orthostatic proteinuria?
benign condition, no further intervention, resolves with age
Hepatorenal Syndrome
x
pathophys
x
what is the pathophys?
cirrhosis develop decreased peripheral vascular resistance secondary to splanchnic vasodilation, which can cause the decreased renal perfusion of hepatorenal syndrome
cause
x
what is the cause ?
patients with cirrhosis
dx
x
what do you see on CMP?
elevated LFTs, acute elevated BUN and Cr
how do you dx?
by exclusion,
risk
x
what is a frequent percipitent of hepatorenal syndrome?
SBP (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis)
management
x
if patient has ascites and PMN>250, what do you do trx of hepatorenal?
paracentesis
Alcoholic Ketoacidosis
x
syx
x
what are symptoms?
AMS, confused, disoriented, generalized abd pain and thirst
