Urinary Tract obsturction Flashcards
Hydronephrosis
dilation of renal pelvis/calyces with progressive atrophy of kidney due to obstruction to urine outflow
What does hydronephrosis of kidney show in kidney
- marked dilation of pelvis and calyces
- thinning of renal parenchyma
Obstructive uropathy does what to the kidney
renal atrophy
hydronephrosis
what type of obstruction is usually painful
acute obstruction
what are clinical symptoms for bilateral complete obstruction
oliguria/ anuria
what is obstructive uropathy
time course and degree of obstruction determines
- dilation
- degree of renal impairment
- ability to restore renal function following relief
What is Urolithiasis
renal calculi
renal stone in kidney
are urolithiasis usually bilateral or unilateral
unilateral
where can urolithiasis occur
renal calyces
pelvis
bladder
what is a characteristic of a urolithiasis
staghorn calculi ( large branching stone)
what is colic
smaller stones passed into ureters
What are 4 types of urolithiasis
calcium oxalate/phosphate
Struvite
uric acid
cystine
Calcium oxalate/phosphate urolithiasis forms in what type of envirnment
acidic
calcium oxalate crystals look like what
envelopes
-octahedron
Magnesium ammonium phosphate stones ( struvite) are caused by what bacteria
urea-splitting bacteria
- proteus
- some staph
What type of environment causes struvite urolithiasis
alkaline urine
what does “ triple stone” struvite look like under microscope
coffin lids
Uric acid crystals in urolithiasis occurs in what envirnment
acidic
how does uric acid crystals show up on X-ray
radiolucent ( can’t see)
how does calcium stones show up on X-ray
radiopaque ( can see)
What environment does cystine stones show up in
-acidic
What causes cystine stones
genetic defects in renal reabsorption of AA
What are 3 types of kidney transplant rejection
hyperacute
acute: cellular and humoral
chronic
How fast does hyperacute reaction occur
minutes to hours
what occurs in hyperacute rejection
antigen-antibody rxn at level of vascular endothelium
what is seen microscopically in hyperacute rejection
fibrin thrombi and WBC
How long does it take for acute rejection to occur
days to weeks
What happens in acute cellular rejection ( acute)
T-cell
Interstitial mononuclear cells infiltration, edema and parenchymal injury
what happens in acute humoral rejection
rejection vasculitis, antibody mediated
neutrophils, fibrin, thrombi
DEPOSITION OF C4D
when is C4d produced
during activation of antibody dependent classical pathway
how do you treat both cellular and humoral rejection
cellular: increase immunosuppressive therapy
humoral: B cell depleting agents
Histo: what is seen in acute humoral rejection
thickened vessels
fibroblasts
foamy histocytes
