Urinary Flashcards
How do you define nephrotic syndrome?
Presence of proteinuria (>3.5 g/24 hours), hypoalbuminaemia (<30 g/L)
and peripheral oedema
Key differentiating feature of nephrotic syndrome induced oedema? What simple test can give you an idea?
Facial as can lay flat, simply measure urine for protein as this is not high in CCF or Liver disease
Most common idiopathic type of nephrotic syndrome?
If primary how treated?
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 30-50%
Primary responds to immunosuppresion
Most common cause of CKD?
Diabetes and HTN is second
How is CKD stage 1 and 2 defined?
stage 1 Egfr >90 but evidence of kidney damage such as proteinuria/haematuria or other evidence
Stage 2 the same but from 60-89 Egfr
Note: without evidence these are normal Egfrs
45-60 Egfr stage ckd?
Stage 3a regardless of damage or not (moderate)
Stage 3b CKD?
30-44ml Egfr
Severe CKD?
Egfr 15-29
End stage renal failure Egfr?
<15ml
Presentation of CKD?
Fatigue due to reduced epo and anaemia
Nausea due to increased urea
Pruritis due to urea
Foamy urine - protein
Management of HTN in CKD?
If ACR >30 offer ACEi or ARB
If ACR <30 manage under normal guidelines
ACR of >70mg what to offer?
ACEi or ARB regardless of BP
For people with hypertension and CKD and an ACR of 70 mg/mmol or more and 70 or less, ideally aim for BP?
130/80 and 140/90
When to offer statin in CKD?
If egfr <60 or ACR>3 use 20mg atorvostatin
CKD diagnosed when what is persistent how long?
egfr <60 for 3 months or persistent proteinuria (ACR>3mg for 3 months
Older adults with nephrotic syndrome most common cause?
Membranous nephropathy
Focal segmental nephropathy 1 and 2 both benefit from?
ACEi
IgA nephropathy?
Recurrent visible haematuria after URTI or Gastoenteritis
painless haematuria, but may have loin pain, can get an AKI usually 20-30 years old
What must be done in IgA nephropathy?
Renal biopsy
Management of IgA nephropathy?
If BP high acei, if good BP control but proteinuria >1g day can have steroids
Haematuria, sub-nephrotic protein urea and HTN?
Nephritic syndrome
When does IgA nephropathy occur?
few days post infection
Post strep nephropathy occurs?
1-2 weeks after
30% of men undergoing a TURP do so for what?
Obstructive prostatic retention
Worsening LUTS and then retention?
Acute prostatic urinary retention
Confusion, Hyponatraemia, fatigue, nausea after Prostate surgery?
TURP syndrome
Pain relief of choice in renal colic? What is this is not suitable?
Diclofenac 75mg IM
Can use morphine if contraindicated
Other than pain relief offer what in renal colic?
Metoclopramide 10mg IM (reduce doses in renal impairment)
Or Cyclizine 50mg IM
Investigation of choice in Renal/Ureteric colic?
CT-Non contrast, initially a urine dipstick to support diagnosis
Symptoms of renal/ureteric colic?
Pain lasts minutes to hours and occurs in spasms, with intervals of no pain or dull ache.
Is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and haematuria.
Some of worst pain experienced
Cannot lie still
