Sigdel 1&2 Flashcards
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
Regeneration
Replace fluid in this phase (1/3 fatalities here), regenerations, flattened cells, high NC ration, LOTS OF URINATION HERE
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
3 phases
Initiation, maintenance, regeneration
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
Initiation
Degeneration cells, fluid build up, loss of microvilli
Chronic pyelonephritis
Chronic obstructive pyelonephritis morphology (2nd most common cause)
Multiple irregular scars
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
Ischemia
Late:
Regeneration, flattened epithelium, dilated lumen, large nuclei with nucleoli
Pyelonephritis
Chronic findings
Fibrosis, THYROIDIZATION, chronic inflammatory cells, irregular scars, papillae blunting
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
MC causes
Ischemic and toxic injuries
Acute pyelonephritis
Gross
Petechiae, renal abscesses, thinned cortex, blunted papilla
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
Ischemia
Pathology, morphology
Vasoconstriction, dec GFR, TUBULORRHEXIS, has skip areas
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)/Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN)
Maintenance
Suppression of fxn, oliguria, dialysis (2/3 OF FATALITIES IN THIS PHASE), sloughed cells, apoptosis, necrosis,, cast formation
Light chain cast nephropathy
Stain for amyloidosis
Congo red stain
Chronic pyelonephritis
Morphology
Irregular scars (fibrosis) ass. With anatomical abnormalities, blunted calyces
Acute pyelonephritis
Clinical signs
Systemic signs, costovertebral angle tenderness, WBC CASTS IN URINE
Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis
Cause
Proteus (don’t confuse with renal cell carcinoma)
Drug induced interstitial nephritis
Causes
Synthetic penicillins
Acute pyelonephritis
Histology
Collections of neutrophils and casts
Drug induced interstitial nephritis
Histology
Eosinophils casts surround tubules
