Tricky + Riskfactors Flashcards
Risk Factors: CKD Chronic Kidney Disease
Family Hx Age (Increased) Male African American HTN, DM, Smoking Obesity or overweight
Cholelithiasis: Risk factors
- Gender (little higher in females)
- Age (<40)
- Estrogen (higher)
- Lifestyle (obese or sedentary)
- Diet (cholesterol + fat, low fiber)
- Family History
Other Causes of Cholecystitis
- Prolonged immobility/fasting
- Bacterial infection
- Parenteral nutrition
- Diabetes mellitus (DM)
Pancreatitis: Risk Factors
Middle Aged African American (3X)
Chronic Glomerulonephritis Drugs
Corticosteroids:
-prednisone
Diuretics
Immunosuppressants
Anti-hypertensives:
-ARB or ACE
Other:
- Dialysis
- Diet (low Na, K+)
Glomerulopathy (2 causes)
Diabetic Nephropathy
- Major complication
- Underlying Pathology: Gross thickening of GBM
Hypertensive Glomerular Disease
-Underlying Pathology: Decreased renal perfusion
-Sclerotic glomerular changes
Nephrolithiasis: Risk Factors
Medications 20-30 White Family Hx Congenital urinary defect Weather (hot/dehydration) Obesity
Pyelonephritis/Upper UTI: Symptoms
Sudden onset of
- Fever, chills, CVA tenderness
- Lower UTI: dysuria
- N/V
- Anorexia
Renal Cell Carcinoma: Risk Factors
Smoking (#1) Obesity (#2) Age (increasing) Male Genetics/Fam Hx
Urothelial Carcinoma: Risk Factors
Smoking (#1)
Male
Occupations with toxin exposure
Low fluid intake (toxins chill)
What Disorder is characterized by H.A.R.P symptoms
Acute Glomerulonephritis
- Hematuria
- Azotemia
- Retention: sodium + water, Oliguria, leads to HTN and Edema
- Proteinuria
Acute pancreatitis complications
- Pseudocyst
- Abscess
- Pulmonary complications
- Pt not taking deep breaths (pain/fluid/enzymes) - Hypotension
- leaking vessels - Tetany from hypocalcemia
- Lipase causes fat necrosis» FFA bind to calcium - Increased risk for clotting
Symptoms of Pancreatitis
- N/V, abdominal distension, hypoactive bowel sounds
- Fever
- Hypotension, tachycardia (loss of fluid/pain)
- Jaundice
Pancreatic Treatment w/drugs, which ones?
Morphine
Dicyclomine (bentyl)
-antispasmodic (anticholinergic)
Antacids (decrease HCL + pancreatic enzymes)
H2-receptor antagonists (Zantac, Pepsid)
Pancrelipase (Creon)
-replacement of enzymes
Insulin
-If DM occurs
Early + Late manifestations of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Early
- None
- some found on abdominal CT by accident
Late:
CVA tenderness
Hematuria (cola colored)
Palpable abdominal mass
