Urinary 4 Dz of Kidney and Lower Urinary Tract Flashcards
What are your 2 inherited abnormalities in renal tubular function?
Primary Renal Glucosuria
Basenji dog Fanconi Syndrome
Which breed of dog will you see the primary renal glucosuria
Norwegian elkhounds
What do you need to distinguish the primary renal glucosuria from?
diabetes mellitus
Acute tubular necrosis is due to? (9)
Nephrotoxic pigments Heavy metals Drugs Fungal toxicns plant toxins chemical vitamins and minerals bacterial toxins *ischemia*
What are you’re two proteins responsible for nephrotoxic pigments?
Hemoglobin
Myoglobin
Hemoglobinuria occurs with hemolysis when? (4)
Copper tox in sheep
Lepto/babesia cattle
Babesia/AIHA dogs
Red maple tox in horses
What happens with extensive acute muscle necrosis?
Myoglobinuria nephrosis
Myoglobinuria occurs with extensive acute muscle necrosis and is seen with? (3)
Exertional myopathy in horses
Capture myopath in wild animals
Severe muscle trauma
What type of acute tubular necrosis is an important wildlife dz?
Heavy metal tox
What kind of histologic changes will you see in heavy metal tox?
Tubular necrosis
Degeneration
intranuclear inclusion bodies
When will you see drug toxicity in acute tubular necrosis?
When they are administered at an excess dose or too frequently
How does drug tox effect the tubules?
direct tubular epiethelial injury or hypoxic injury by vasoconstriction and reduced RBF
What kind of drugs can be toxic?
Antimicrobials: Aminos
NSAIDs
Immunosuppressive drugs: cyclosporin
Antineoplastic chemo drugs
What is the pathogenesis behind NSAID nephrotoxicity?
NSAIDs decrease synthesis of renal Prostaglandins (they maintain normal RBF)
Renal vasoconstriction that causes ischemia which leads to tubular degeneration and necrosis and acute renal failure
they can also cause renal papillary necrosis
What kind of fungal toxins (mycotoxins) affect the tubules?
Where can animals get this from
Aspergillus-aflatoxin
Feed contaminants
