A

ASYMETRIC KIDNEY SIZE - small atrophic unilateral kidney

22
Q

ASYMETRIC KIDNEY SIZE - small atrophic unilateral kidney. CAUSE?

A

Renovascular HTN/renal artery stenosis

23
Q

Elevation of Cr in 30 proc. when used ACEI/ARB. Cause?

A

renal artery stenosis

24
Q

High plasma aldosterone/renin ratio > 20:1. In what disease?

A

PRIMARY HYPERALDOSTERONISM

25
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism abbreviation?

A

stones, bones, abdoninal groans and psychiatric overtones.

26
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism. MCC?

A

80 proc = parathyroid adenoma.

27
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism. Why hypercalcemia?

A

incr. renal calcium absorption + GI Ca absorption + bone reabsorption.

28
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism. Symptoms?

A

Kidney stones, neuropsychiatric symptoms, MUSCLE WEAKNESS, polyuria, polydipsia, constipation, abdominal pain.

29
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism. Mechanism of HTN? 3

A

Increased renin secretion
Sympathetic hyperresponsiveness
Peripheral artery constriction

30
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism. HTN Tx?

A

Treat hyperparathyroidism –> HTN resolves

31
Q

Thyroid. What HTN predominantly in hyperthyroidism?

A

systolic HTN

32
Q

Thyroid. What HTN predominantly in hypothyroidism?

A

diastolic HTN

33
Q

Thyroid. Hyperthyroidism on Ca?

A

increased calcium due to increased bone turnover

34
Q

Thyroid. Hypothyroidism on Ca?

A

normal Ca. Hypothyroidism does not have significant effect on serum Ca concentration.

35
