Q

Kidney development

A

Pronephros –> mesonephros (vas def) –> gives off ureteric bud (CD-ureter) –> interacts with metanephric messenchyme/blasthema –>(glomerulus-DCT)

*abn interaction –> Multicystic dysplastic kidney (unilat, congenital)*

*if man is missing one vas def, he may be missing that kidney*

Q

ANP: - released by/why - mechanism

Causes type I (distal) renal tubular acidosis

(also can make EPO, arrythmyas, normocytic anemia)

43
Q

Type I renal tubular acidosis (distal)

A

CD

Alpha-intercalated cant secrete H+ → retention of H+

→ no K//H exchange → K+ lost in urine

→ acidosis causes bone resorption

→ urine is basic >5.5

→ 5.5 + Ca and PO4 –> CaP stones

Causes:

amphoteraxcin B, analgesic nephropathy, urinary tract obstructions

pH > 5.5

44
Q

Proximal/Type 2 renal tubular acidosis

A

Defective PCT HCO3- absorption @BL –> cant resorb Na with it (Na/HCO3 cotransport) –> Na gets resorbed at CD, so K+ lost

Metabolic acidosis from HCO3- loss

Hypokalemia from Na CD resorption

K+ tried to get resorbed in exchange for H+ @ alpha-intercalated (K//H) –> acidifies urine

Causes: Fanconi syndrome, CAH inhibitors (acetazolamide)

pH < 5.5

45
Q

Hyperkalemic (type 4) renal tubular acidosis

A

Hypoaldosteronism –> no Na resorption in CD in exchange for K+ –> hyperkalemia –> high K+ to less K+//H+ activity –> cant secrete acid –> acidemia

  • K+ also decreases PCT NH3 synthesis and thus decreases urine NH4+ levels –> acidic urine

Causes:

  • hypoaldosteronism (ACE-I, ARB, NSAIDS, DM hyporeninism, adrnal insufficiency, heparin, cyclospirin)
  • Aldosterone resistance (K+ sparing diuretics, obstructoin nephropathy, TMP/SMX)
