Tubulo-interstitial Renal Disease Flashcards
normal BUN and creatinine
BUN: 7-21
creatinine: 1
> 3.5 urine protein/creatinine ratio
nephrotic syndrome
____ cardiac output goes to the kidney
25%
kidneys produce ____L of urine a day
1.5L
2 main acute tubular injury causes
- ischemia
- direct toxic injury
involvement of intrarenal blood vessels
decreased effective blood volume
ischemia
can be due to endogenous (myoglobin) or exogenous (drugs) agents
direct toxic injury
causes vasoconstriction and decreased GFR and urine output
ischemia
3 consequences of acute tubular injury:
- tubular backleak
- sloughed cells
- interstitial inflammation
____ causes both decreased GFR and urine output
obstruction
first thing you see clinically with acute tubular injury
oliguria
increased BUN
2nd thing you see clinically with acute tubular injury
oliguria
increased BUN
Na+ and H2O overload
hyperkalemia
metabolic acidosis
what happens during recovery of acute tubular injury
excessive renal output
loss of Na+ and H2O and K+
bacterial infections
burns
crush injuries
shock due to procedures
ischemic causes of acute tubular injury
Antibiotics
anesthetics
chemotherapy
heavy metals
radiographic agents
ethylene glycol
nephrotoxic causes of acute tubular injury
hemoglobinuria
myoglobinuria
combined ischemic and nephrotoxic causes of acute tubular injury
cell necrosis
occlusion of lumen
interstitial edema
leukocytes in vasa recta
epithelial regeneration
morphology of acute tubular injury
what 2 parts of tubular system of kidney are most affected by acute tubular injury
PCT and thick ascending limb
damage from acute tubular injury
nucleus degeneration seen in PCT
early acute tubular necrosis
advanced acute tubular necrosis
edema (interstitial debris)
extreme case of acute tubular necrosis
