TEST 3 Flashcards
rate at which a substance is excreted in the urine
renal clearance measures
glomerular filtration rate is measures
the volume of plasma that is filtered each minute
what tells you when a patient is in renal failure
GFR- glomerular filration rate
GFR normal kidneys
anything 60 or above
GFR kidney disease
15-60
GFR kidney failure
15 or less
what does blood urea nitrogen BUN tell you
dehydration- the higher the number the more dehydrated the patient is
what does this serum creatinine tell you
how the kidney is functioning/filtering
wastes product from muscles
creatinine
comes from protein breakdown
urea
ratio of bun to creatinine
10:1
why should protein not be in the urine
protein is a big substance so for it to be filtered that means there is something wrong with the filtration rate
proteinuria
protein in the urine
osmolarity and specific gravity
tells you about particles whether the solutes in the urine are concentrated or not ; anything greater than 1.10
higher the specific gravity in a urine test
more dehydrated ; higher the number the more solutes than water
antidiuretic hormone
doesn’t let you diurease ; not pee; against the release of water
normal pH of urine
4.5-8
complete absence of development of one or both kidneys (unilateral RA or bilateral RA respectively
renal agenesis
renal agenesis is a change in what gene
Pax2 gene- mutation
renal agenesis is an autosomal
dominant
most life threatening component of potter syndrome is
pulmonary hypoplasia; lungs not forming
The kidneys are small in size and have less than the normal number of calyces and nephrons
renal hypoplasia
Common cause for pediatric renal failure and adult onset disease
renal hypoplasia
enlargement of the kidney. urine collects in the infected kidney so it forms fluid like sacs
multicystic dysplastic kidney disorder
first thing they see in a child with multi cystic dysplastic kidney disorder is a
palpable abdomen
if you know they have a wilms tumor you never want to what
palpate
children who survive MDKD are at more risk for
hypertension and wilms tumor
Most common of all inherited kidney disease
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
ADPKD manifestations
progress is slow and chronic kidney disease is uncommon before 40; hypertension (RAAS), hematuria, kidney stones; flank pain
characterized by cystic dilation of the cortical and medullary collecting tubules
autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
what causes the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
mutation in the PKHD1 gene
manifestations of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
excessive urine, hypertension, enlarged spleen w low rbc and high wbc/platelets, breathing problems
fluid-filled sacs (cysts) develop deep within the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney disease with kidney failure.
medullary cystic kidney disease / nephronophthisis
who does medullary cystic kidney disease affect
children
Excessive thirst and abnormal urine starts in which ?
nephronophthisis
what happens with adolescence with medullary cystic kidney disease
turns into autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease
What is the main concern with Simple and Acquired Renal Cyst
differentiate them from malignancies
an inflammatory response in the glomeruli of the kidney
Acute Nephritic Syndrome
what is the most causative organism for acute nephritic syndrome
Group-A beta-hemolytic streptococci
what does the glomerulus do
filters waste product from the blood
how do you diagnose a person with acute nephritic syndrome
serum test, urinalysis
manifestations of acute nephritic syndrome
sudden onset of hematuria, coke urine, oliguria, diminished GFR
less than 400 ml in a 24 hour period
oliguria
how much urine per hour
30 ml per hour
What is the best treatment option for an individual with acute nephritic syndrome?
antibiotics
Provide supportive care
mishaping of the monocytes and macrophages
Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
manifestations for Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
progress rapidly 3 mo, weak immune system
Why would plasmapheresis be beneficial for the Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis patient?
a process that filters the blood and removes harmful antibodies; immunosuppressed so dont have anything to fight off
What organs does Goodpasture syndrome affect?
basement membrane; lungs and kidneys
1 risk factors for good pasture
smoking
an increase in the glomerular permeability causing albumins (plasma proteins) to be excreted in the urine.
nephrotic syndrome
