Q

how RAAS works and effects

A

juxtaglomerular cells reelase renin in response to - decrease Na reaching macula densa, or sympathetic, or decrease perfusion pressure by baroreceptors
Renin converts AG1 to AG2 which increase aldosterone which; increases ENaC, constricts afferent and efferent arterioles, increase NHX, increase thirst via ADH, decrease bradykinin

Q

what is symptoms and pathology of syndrome of inappropriate ADH. treaat?

A

increase ADH leads to increase BP. Retention of water but not solute results in hyponatremia which leads to N&V, lethargy, seizures
treat with ADH receptor anatgonists

Q

how is corticopapillary osmotic gradient made?

A

inner medulla has higher osmolarity than cortex or outer medulla

1) ascending limb impermeable to water and therefore solutes enter medulla. filtrate hypotonic
2) descending limb impermeable to salts and therefore water enters medulle. filtrate hypertonic.
3) vasa recta absorbs salt and water.

Q

calcium stones risk factors

A

decreased urine, hypercalcaemia, high oxalate consumption

27
Q

renal stones symptoms

A

haematuria, pain colic

28
Q

how test for uti

A

urine dipstick increase nitrates and leukocytes esterases

29
Q

actiosns of loop, thiazide and K sparing diuretics and eg

A

loop - NaKCl. decresae Ca reabsorb. e.g. furosemide
thiazide - NaCl. increase ca reabsorb. e.g. bendroflumethiazide
K sparing:
1) ENaC blockers - e.g. amiloride
2) aldost antag - e.g. spironolactone

30
Q

what diuretic for HF, liver failure, HT, conns?

A

conns - aldost antag
HF - loop e.g. furosemide
liver failure - aldost antag and loop
HT - thiazide e.g. bendroflumethiazide

31
Q

pathology and causes of conns

A

increased aldosterone leads to increase Bp and hypokalaemia. Vision, headaches, strokes, MI, AKI
cause - adrenal adenoma, adrenal hyperplasia

32
Q

thiazide ADRs

A

hypokalaemia, hypercalcaemia, hyperuricaemia, ED

33
Q

aldost antag ADRs

A

hyperkalaemia, gyno

34
Q

all diuretics ADRs

A

hyponatremia, hypovolemia, anaphylaxis

35
Q

acidic and alkalemic symptoms

A

acidic - hyperkalaemia, arrhythmia, decrease hepatic function
alkalemia - tetany, parasthesia, death

36
Q

how is hydrogen buffered in urine

A

phosphate and ammonia.

37
Q

how hyper and hypokalemia affects ph?

A

hyper is acidosis

hypo is alkalosis

38
Q

effects of aldosterone on K. How doe K stimulate aldosterone release

A

increases K excretion

high K in plasma stimulates aldosterone release

39
Q

what is internal and external balance of K

A

internal - in and outof cells

external - kidneys

40
Q

K shift into cells

A

alkalosis via KHX, exercise, insulin, aldosterone, increase K ecf

41
Q

K shift out of cells

A

acidosis, decrease K ECF, trauma, plasma hyperosmolarity

42
Q

causes of hypokalaemia

A

alkalosis, vomiting, diarrhoea, diuretics, conns

43
Q

symptoms, ECG and treat hypokalaemia

A

symptoms - paralytic ileus, muscular weakness, CD dysfunction
ECG - shallow T wave to prominent U wave to ST depression
treat - oral/IV K, K sparing diuretic

44
Q

hyper Kalaemia causes, ECG and treat

A

causes - CKD, NSAIDs, acidemia
ECG - tall tented T waves, prolonged PR, widened QRS, VFib
treat - IV calcium gluconate, insulin, oral K binding resin, decrease intake

45
Q

Bladder PS, somatic and symp innervations

A

PS - S2-4
somatic - S2-4 pudendal
symp - T10-L2 hypogastric

46
Q

what controls micturition

A

pontine micturition centre

47
Q

what is stress urge and overflow UI

A

stress - excess pressure on bladder leads to leaking
urge - urgent desire + leaking
overflow - no urge to pee, overfull bladder + leaking

48
