Q

How to distinguish PIGN from MPGN and lupus?

A

PIGN has normal C4
(MPGN and lupus have low C4)
(All 3 have low C3, although C3 returns to normal within 6 weeks for PIGN - i.e. acute)

Q

In rhabdomyolysis, what are the values of ?
- Potassium
- Phos
- Calcium
- Uric acid
- Albumin

A
  • HIGH potassium
  • HIGH phos
  • LOW calcium (as calcium phosphate was deposited within the injured muscle)
  • HIGH uric acid
  • LOW albumin

17
Q

What is the first step of evaluation for an adolescent with secondary enuresis

A

Screen for stress and abuse

18
Q

Which serum lab values are elevated in nephrotic syndrome? (2)

A

Serum cholesterol
Serum triglyceride

19
Q

Undescended testes, GU anomalies, hypoplasia of abdominal musculature
What is the condition?

A

Prune belly syndrome

20
Q

Most common causes of morbidity / mortality in patients with prune belly syndrome? (2)

A

Hypoplastic lungs -> respiratory insufficiency
Renal failure

21
Q

Abdominal U/S shows enlarged, uniformly hyperechogenic kidneys with poor corticomedullary differentiation in an infant.

What is the condition?
What is the common cause of death in neonate with this condition?
What is the universal complication when this infant grows up?

A

ARPKD
(autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease)

Common cause of death in infants = pulmonary hypoplasia (from severe oligohydramnios)

Liver involvement is universal in patients with this disorder

22
Q

What is the treatment of patient with HUS who presents with signs of fluid overload, anuria, or hypertension ? (thus preclude aggressive hydration)

A

Dialysis

23
Q

What are the complications associated with nephrotic syndrome?

A

Thromboses
(due to loss of proteins regulating clotting, such as protein C and protein S)

24
Q

What is the “silk glove sign” associated with?

A

Inguinal hernia

(when layers of the hernia sac are palpated, sliding over each other, it mimics the feeling of a silk glove - arguing against the differential which is hydrocele)

25
Q

Hearing loss, microscopic hematuria
What is the diagnosis?
What is the late-stage renal complications? (2)

A

Alport syndrome
(aka hereditary nephritis)

Late-stage complications = end-stage kidney disease and proteinuria

26
Q

Dystrophy of thumbnails + Hypoplastic patellae

What is the associated abnormal lab?
What is the condition? What is the late stage complication?

A

Nail-patella syndrome
Abnormal lab = proteinuria

Late-stage = end-stage kidney disease

27
Q

Electrolyte abnormality associated with shortened QT interval

A

HYPERcalcemia

28
Q

Electrolyte abnormality associated with prolonged QT interval and AV block

A

HYPOcalcemia

AV block

29
Q

Electrolyte abnormality associated with prolonged QRS interval, prolonged QT, and ST-T wave changes

A

HYPOkalemia

30
Q

Nasal and oral ulcers, bilateral conjunctival injection, chest XR shows increased lung markings with no consolidation, fever/cough for couple weeks.

What is the condition?
What are 2 diagnostic criteria?

A

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)

Diagnosis criteria - must meet 2 or more:
- Abnormal chest imaging
- Hematuria / red-cell cast
- Vascular granulomatous inflmmation on biopsy

31
Q

What is the type of antibody found in GPA?

A

ANCA

32
Q

A young baby with thin, translucent membrane extending from posterior fourchette to below the clitoris, asymptomatic

What is the condition? What is the treatment?

A

Labial adhesion
Apply topical estrogen cream to the membrane

33
Q

Which renal disease associated with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss?

A

Alport syndrome

34
Q

Flattened nose, recessed chin, low-set ears, prominent epicanthal folds

What is the underlying issue? What is the cause?

A

Potter sequence
Caused by oligohydramnios from decreased fetal urine output due to some renal issues (or chronic leakage of amniotic fluid)

35
Q

Besides kidney and hearing loss, what is another organ involved in Alport syndrome?

A

Ocular defects

36
Q

When a varicocele needs surgical repair? (3 conditions)

A

1 - affected testicle to be smaller than the other
2- reduced sperm count
3 - causing significant pain

37
Q

What are 2 indications or surgical intervention of hydrocele?

A

1 - Hydrocele that presents past 1 year of age (normally the communication between the inguinal canal and the abdominal compartment should close by then)
2 - Acquired hydrocele (not there before)

38
Q

Hypospadia + undescended testes

What is the concern?
What labs should be sent? (6)

A

C/f defects in sexual differentiation

Labs:
1 - FSH
2 - LH
3 - Testosterone
4 - Karyotype
5 - Urine 17-ketosteroids
6 - 17-hydroxycorticosteroids

39
Q

Abnormal location of urethral opening

What is this called?

A

Hypospadia

40
Q

What is the appropriate time window for hypospadia surgical repair?

A

3 months - 18 months
