Altered mental status with acute renal failure in conjunction with oxalate crystals is consistent with?
Ethylene glycol poisoning
eythelene glycol is what
a toxic alcohol that is found in antifreeze, engine coolants and brake fluids
symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning
initially: ethanol intoxication
next: acute renal failure symptoms (oliguria, flank pain) - 24 to 72 hours from ingestion
ethylene glycol itself is non toxic but it is metabolized to?
glycolic acid and oxalic acid (which leads to toxicity)
how does acute kidney injury occur in ethylene glycol toxicity?
it is metabolized to glycolic acid which causes direct tubular cytotoxicity
the oxalic acid it is metabolized to crystalizes and causes obstruction to the tubules
combined this results in acute tubular necrosis
histologically has does acute tubular necrosis present
cell ballooning and vacuolar degeneration with normal glomeruli
what are the lab findings in eythleneb glycol toxicity
elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis
elevated osmolar gap
what are the lab findings in eythleneb glycol toxicity
elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis
elevated osmolar gap
water deprivation/ dehydration results in _ release from the posterior pituitary gland
ADH (anti diuretic hormone)
anti diuretic hormone (against peeing) is released from the PP and stimulates what receptors?
V2 receptors on the principal cells in the collecting ducts causing aqua-Orin 2 channels to translocate into the apical cell membrane.
Aquaporin 2 spans the _ membrane and enhances?
luminal
water permeability of the principal cells
in the presence of high ADH meaning we dont want to pull out water describe the tubular fluid changes throughout the nephron
the proximal tubule: water is reabsorbed along with electrolytes so the fluid is isotonic with plasma (300)
descending loop of henle: free water is drawn out of the tubules into the intersitium so this makes the tubular fluid hypertonic (>300)
thick and thin ascending loop of henle: primary region go urine dilution and are impermeable to water: electrolytes are passively resorbed in the thin ascending limb and actively reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb, the tubular fluid is hypotonic (less than 300)
the distal convoluted tubule: is impermeable to water so the tubular fluid remains hypotonic and reabsorption of the solutes/electrolytes such as NaCl: most dilute lesson the nephron (100)
collecting duct: highly permeable to water so water leaves the tubular fluid and hypertonic urine is formed (1200)
GTP is synthesized by what reaction in the TCA cycle
succinylcholine CoA to succinate in the TCA cycle
during gluconeogenesis phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase uses GTP to synthesize _ from _
phosphoenolpyruvate from oxaloacetate
the majority of ATP used for cellular processes is generated by the oxidation of?
acetate in the TCA cycle
the enzymes of the TCA cycle are located in the ?
mitochondria (and generate NADH and FADH2)
