Urinary 1-3 Review, Start of Dz of Kidney Flashcards
What are the 2/5 developmental anomalies he mentioned that he stressed about?
Renal dysplasia and Polycystic Kidney
Basenji Dog Fanconi Syndrome
Whats happening here?
Abnormal brush border membrane structure of the Proximal tubular epithelium
What does Fanconi Syndrome cause clinically?
Glucosuria
proteinuria
metabolic acidosis
endocrine disorder
Most important cause of acute renal failure?
acute tubular necrosis
CS of Acute Tubule Necrosis?
Oliguria/anuria with
severe azotemia
Causes of acute tubule necrosis-main one
Ischemic or nephrotoxic injury
also heavy metal, drugs, toxins, etc
Causes of death from Renal Failure
Metabolic acidosis
Pulmonary edema
hypERkalemia
Clinical indicators of renal failure
Urine quantity-poly urine quality-isos Proteinuria azotemia uremic syndrome
Why do you have polyuria in renal failure?
failure of resorption of Na and water by the tubules
When does isosthenuria occur in renal failure?
Loss of renal fxn, failure to concentrate
Uremia can cause systemic lesions, by what 2 mechanisms?
Endothelial injury: vasculitis, thrombosis, infarction
Caustic injury to epithelium of mucosal surfaces due to production of large amounts of NH3 by urea-splitting bacteria
Bacteria which might cause tubular necrosis?
LESS-P Lepto E. Coli Staph Strep Proteus
Tubular necrosis results in further renal injury by what 2 mechanisms?
Leakage of tubular filtrate into renal interstitium
Intratubular obstruction-resulting from sloughed necrotic epithelium (casts)
3 major causes for intrarenal falure
Acute tubular necrosis
Acute
Glomerulonephritis
Acute Pyelonephritis
What is acute pyelonephritis caused by?
Ascending bacterial infxn from teh urethra, ureters, and renal pelvis
What are the 3 main reasons of postrenal failure
Urolithiasis
Tumors
Iatrogenic
Post renal obstructions can lead to what 2 conditions?
Hydroureter
Hydronephrosis
What is a hematological result of CRF
Non-regenerative anemia
reduced EPO production
What is a biochemical result of CRF?
Altered Ca-P metabolism.
↓ GFR → ~HypERphosphatemia~ → Ca precipitation → ~Hypocalcemia~ → ~stim of Parathyroid Hormone secretion~ → ~Ca mobilization by osteoclastic bone resorption~ → reduced bone mineral density ~(Osteopenia)~ known as ~Renal 2° Hyperparathyroidism~ & Chronic Hyperparathyroidism → ~Fibrous Osteodystrophy~
Renal 2ndary hyperparathyroidism:
Which ions does it affect
Hows is the gland affected?
Hyperphosphatemia
Hypocalcemia
Bilateral hyperplasia
4 portals of entry into the kidney?
Ascending from ureter
Hematogenous
Glomerular filtrate
Direct penetration
In an ascending entry from ureter, what usually gets into the kidney via this route?
Infections.
Suppurative pyelonephritis
In hematogenous route, what gets into the kidney via this route?
Bacteremia–embolization and nephritis.
Metastesis
Glomerular filtrate-what stuff gets into the kidney via this route?
Substances secreted into the filtrate can be bad-toxins, drug metabolits (NSAIDs, chemo, aminos)
What is the most important barrier in defense mechanisms of the kidney?
GBM
How does the GMB protect the nephron?
Filters out most circulating bacteria and inflammatory cells
How does the mesangium protect glomerulus?
They are a component of the monocyte-macrophage system, which can remove macromolecules from teh ciruclation by phagocytosis
What is those most harmful thing to the tubular basement membrane?
Ischemia-it usually destroys the TBM.
What are the 2 defense mechanisms of the renal interstitium?
Humoral Ab
Macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells
