Uworld - Renal II Flashcards
confounding
part of exposure-disease relationship can be explained by another variable
lead-time bias
prolong of survival in patient who underwent screening test
-allowing earlier diagnosis - but did not improve diagnosis
recall bias
inaccurate patient recall of past exposure
selection bias
subject selected for study or from selective losses during follow up
ANG II vasc effect
constrict efferent arteriole
-maintain GFR
ACE Is vasc
promote efferent arteriole dilation
-GFR decrease
observer bias
investigator decision affected by prior knowledge
renal artery stenosis
activate RAAS
-get HTN
kidney disease with renal artery stenosis
only if B/L
unilateral can filter toxins
JG cells
modified smooth m cells
-synthesize renin
in afferent arteriole
chronic renal hypoperfusion
see hypertrophy and hyperplasia of JG cells
juxtaglomerular apparatus
macula densa
JG cells
mesangial cells
macula densa
monitor salt content and tubular flow rate
tx of BPH
benign prostatic HYPERPLASIA
alpha-adrenergic blocker - relax smooth m bladder neck
5 a-reductase inhibitor - reduced T > DHT
MOA 5-a reductase inhibitors
reduced T > DHT
creatinine
overestimate of GFR - moderate secretion by renal tubules
glucose, sodium, and urea
net tubular reabsorption
inulin and mannitol
no tubular reabsorption/secretion
-estimate GFR
bezold jarisch reflex
hypotension and bradycardia
can occur when initiate ACE I therapy
urine from umbilicus
allantois - connect UG sinus with yolk sac
-becomes urachus
patent urachus gives these sx
