Shit - Renal Flashcards
Kidney development
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*
MC site of hydronephrosis in fetus
uretero-pelvic junction (last to canalize)
COD potters
Lung hypoplasia
Horseshoe kidney:
- point it get stuck
- associations
IMA.
Assoc: uretero-pelvic obstuction (hydronephrosis), renal stones, infections, chromosomal aneuploidy (13, 18, 21, XO), rarely renal cancer
JG cell location
between afferent arteriole and macula dense (DCT)
%s of body weight:
- TBWater
- ECF - plasma
- ICF - RBC vol
TBW = 60%
ECF = 20% (inulin); 75% interstitial fluid, 25% plasma (albumin)
ICF = 40%; 10% is RBCs
size barrier
fenestrated endothelium
charge barrier
GBM - lost in nephOTIC syndromes
Estimating GFR;
normal value
**Filtered, but NOT resorbed or secreted**
Estimate = creatinine (slight overestimate)
Better = inulin
GFR = 120ml/min
Estimating eRPF
Using eRPF to find RBF
PAH clearance because filtered AND SECRETED so all of it excreted
RPF = RBF * plasma%
RPF = RBF * (1-hct%)
RBF = RPF/(1-hct%)
FF
FF = GFR/RPF
FF = 20%
Filtered load
FL = GFR * plasma []
Excretion =
excretion = filtered + secreted - resorbed
Pregnancy and kidneys
Normal pregnancy can decrease PCT resorption of glucose and amino acids –> out in urine
glucose and kidney: threshold and Tm
Threshold = 200mg/dL
Tm = 375mg/dL
Hartnup’s =
NEUTRAL amino acid transporter problem.
In GIT and PCT
s/s = pellagra (no Tryp for B3) Rx = B3 supplements and high protein diet
DDX = fanconi anemia, which is ALL AA (i.e. proline)
contraction alkalosis
When volume low (contracted), ATII stimulates Na//H+, leading to volume restoration with Na+ but loss of H+ leading to alkalosis
Major role of PCT
- Resorb glucose/AA/PO4 (blocked by PTH)
- exchange with H+ (stim by AT-II)
- excrete bases i.e. NH3 (for Cl-)
- ISOtonic absorption
tAL
NKCC-T
MG and Ca
DCT
NaCl-T Ca//Na @ BL to resorb Ca (stim by PTH)
PTH locations and actions in kidney
Inhibits:
- PCT = Na/PO4
Activates:
- DCT = Na//Ca (@BL)
- PCT = 1-aOHase activity
CD
Principal:
- ADH @ AQP
- Aldosterone @ Na, K, Na//K
A-intercalated:
- H+ ATPase
- HCO3//Cl- @ BL
Fanconi syndrome: Where Lost S/s Causes
Where: PCT
Lost: all AA, glucose, HCO3-, PO4
S/s: prox. renal tubular metabolic ACIDosis
Causes: wilsons, tyrosinemia, glycogen storage diseases, expired tetracyclins, tenofovir, multiple myelomas, ischemia, lead poisoning
Bartters
Loop NKCC
Hypokalemia –> resorbed in CD –> exchange for H+ –> metabolic alkalosis Hypercalciuria
Gitelman
DCT hypokalemia –> metabolic alkalosis
Hypo Mg
Hypocalciuria (Ca absorbed)
Liddle
GAIN OF FUNCTION, AD
HTN, met. alk., hypo K, low aldosterone and renin
Rx = amiloride (to block ENaC)
Syndrome of apparent mineralocorticoid excess
Really just lacking 11-beta-HSD, so can’t turn cortisol to cortisone, so cortisol acts on mineralocorticoid receptors (aldosterone-like so like liddle’s)
Can be acquired from liquorice (glycyrrhetic acid)
ADH triggers and role
trigger = increased osmolarity and low BV
role = osmolarity (via AQP)
Aldosterone triggers and role
Trigger = low BV (via ATII) and high K+
roles = ECF volume and Na+ content (via ENaC, K+, K+//H+, H+ ATPase
Macula densa pathway (increase osm)
high NaCl to macula densa (DCT) –> cells swell –> release adenosine –>
1) A1-R: afferent VC
2) A2-R: efferent VD
3) decreased JG release of renin
Renin release signalled by:
1) beta1 activation (SNS)
2) decreased RAP
3) decreased NaCl to macula densa
AT-II mechanism
VC efferent –> decrease RPF and increase GFR –> increase FF (of Na+) –> so more Na+ must be resorbed later on –> resorbed with water –> increase BV/BP
ANP: - released by/why - mechanism
Release from atria via increased blood volume
Aff: cGMP –> smooth muscle relaxation –> increased GFR and RPF together, so NO increase in FF
DCT: blocks Na/Cl transporter -> lose Na+ so overall loss of Na+ and H2O
Causes of Hyperkalemia
Digoxin: block Na/K ATPase
Hyperosmolarity: K+ is high outside
Cell lysis (crush, rhabdo, cancer): leaks from cells
Acidosis
Beta-blockers: prevent insulin release
High blood sugar: low insulin
*insulin causes K+ to go into cells via Na/K ATPase activation*
Causes of hypokalemia
hypoosmolarity: less K+ outside
alkalosis
beta agonists (no decreasing insulin so insulin high)
High insulin (increases Na/K ATPase –> K+ into cells)
Hypertension with HYPOkalemia causes:
1’ hyperaldosteronism: high aldost, low renin
2’ hyperaldosteronism: high renin causing high aldosterone. Via RAStenosis, renin tumour, diuretic abuse
low renin and aldosterone: other things acting as mineralocorticoids i.e. CAH, deoxycorticosterone tumour, cushings, exogenous mineralocorticoids
Electrolyte Disturbances
Winter’s Formula
PCO2 = 1.5 [HCO3] + 8
if real PCO2 is within +/- 2 of the predicted CO2, then you have a pure metabolic acidosis
if it is outside +/-2, then it is a mixed acid/base disorder
Normal anion gap (8−12 mEq/L)
HARD-ASS:
Hyperalimentation
Addison disease
Renal tubular acidosis
Diarrhea
Acetazolamide
Spironolactone
Saline infusion
