Renal Vascular disease Flashcards
What does benign nephrosclerosis effect
medial and intimal thickening due to hyaline deposition
What is a granular appearance on the outside of a kidney most likely?
benign nephrosclerosis
Who is at risk of Benign Nephrosclerosis causing renal insufficiency
African descent
severe hypertension
underlying disease (diabetes)
What is the gross appearance of the kidney in malignant hypertension
“flea bitten” from petechial hemorrhages
Histology of malignant nephrosclerosis?
fibrinoid necrosis
hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
Unilateral renal artery stenosis causes?
Renin release which leads to ATII release
This causes HTN due to aldosterone holding Na and H2O
What is most likely to cause Renal artery stenosis in men and women
Men-atherosclerotic plaque
women- fibromuscular dysplasia
What do you see in unilateral renal artery stenosis
Affected kidney has heightened renin levels
Opposite kidney has hyaline arteriolosclerosis
If you have normal renal function with hyalinized glomeruli and fibrosis and thickening, what is the diagnosis?
benign nephrosclerosis
HUS results from
endothelial injury leading to platelet aggregation and thrombosis
What happens in typical HUS
Shiga-like toxin causes injury
What happens in atypical HUS
excessive activiation of complement rom mutations
What causes TTP
platelet aggregation from multimers of vWF
due to deficiency of ADAMTS13 metalloprotease
What causes HUS
E.coli 0157-H7
What can cause atypical HUS
anti-phospholipid Ab syndrome
