signs and symptoms of ureteral (kidney) stones
intense renal colic pain abrupt in onset and may radiate
hematuria
sweating
kidney stone causes
solute supersaturation

What are kidney stones made of?
calcium crystal aggregates of organic and inorganic material, uric acid, struvite, cystine, etc
What is the cause of Polycystic Kidney disease?
Genetic
S/S of Polycystic Kidney disease
evident at birth
big kidney
respiratory distress
hypertension
What chromosome is Polycystic Kidney disease affected by?
Chromosome 6p, 16 and 4
What causes Polycystic Kidney disease and what does it lead to?
lowered Ca+ levels and too much cAMP
creates cysts in the liver
Polycystic Kidney disease clinical manifestation (3)
hypertension
can’t concentrate urine
pain
What is the etiologic cause of acute Glomerulonephritis?
immune response which attract immune cells to lyse everything in their path
Whtat’s the pathophysiology of acute Glomerulonephritis?
immune cells call over immune cells. A battle begins and lysosomal degradation happens in the basement membrand and mesangial cells contract because less surface area for filtration
Clinical manifestations of acute Glomerulonephritis?
azotemia
hypertension
oliguria
proteinuria
edema
what happens in post infectious acute Glomerulonephritis?
follows impetigo and throat infections,
developing countries usually
common in kids
coffee colored urine
(berger disease) aka?
IgA nephropathy
Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
RPGN (rapidly progressive Glomerulonephritis)
Causes of Crescentic Glomerulonephritis?
drugs exposure
hallmark of Crescentic Glomerulonephritis?
crescent shaped lesions
what happens to the blood in acute onset of crescentic Glomerulonephritis?
hematuria
proteinuria
red cell cases
decline in renal function w/in 6 mos
Progress of chronic Glomerulonephritis?
sclerosis and kidney fibrosis progresses into end-stage renal disease
What does uric acid crystals of kidney stones mean?
gouty arthritis
From what area is the most common type of pyelonephritis?
ascending infection from lower UT
What is the most effective way to prevent pyelonephritis?
take catheters out early
What is acute pyelonephritis caused by?
uti cases infection of renal pelvis
What is a risk factor for pyelonephritis ?
pregnancy
S/S for acute pyelonephritis?
CVA tenderness
fever/chills
anorexia
fever-induced dehydration
urosepsis- organism in the b/s from UTI
what infection does the presence of WBC casts mean?
upper UTI
Difference between acute and chronic pyelonephritis?
acute: UTI infection
chronic: reflux or obstructive leads to scarring
what can chronic pyelonephritis turn into?
CKD
what happens with inflammation from chronic pyelonephritis ?
scarring and loss of functional nephrons
S/S of pyelonephritis?
abdominal/flank pain,
fever, malaise,
anorexia
What are the most common obstructions for the UG tract?
stones
tumors
prostatic hypertrophy
strictures
What are some characteristics of AKI?
sudden kidney function loss
disruptions influid/electolytes, pH
retention of nitrogenous waste
increase serum creatinine
decreased GFR
Three sites of Disruption of AKI?
renal perfusion (prerenal)
urine flow after kidney (postrenal)
problem with kidney vessels, tubules, glomeruli, or interstitium (intrinsic)
What are some causes of prerenal AKI?
Burns, drugs and diretics (ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II blockers, NSAIDS
What are some S/S of prerenal kidney injury?
hypovolemia, hypotension, HF,
Renal artery obstruction
fever, vomiting, diarea
prolonged prerenal ARF can lead to what?
acute tubular necrosis
Diagnosis of prerenal kidney injury
low GFR, oliguria, high urine gravity
osmolality
low urine sodium
What causes post renal kidney injury
obstruction with urinary cases Bowman capsule pressure, impeding glomerular filtration
What can prolonged postrrenal ARF lead to?
acture tubular necrosis and irreversible kidney damage
What is the most common result with intrinsic KI?
acture tubular necrosis
What does acute tubular necrosis cause?
Nephrotoxic insult (contrast media)
iscemic insults (sepsis)
What are two pathologies for acute tubular necrosis?
vascular and tubular
What happens in vascular intrinsic kidney Injury?
decrease in renal blood flow
hypoxia
vasoconstriction
What happens in tubular intrinsic kidney Injury? Pathophysiology
inflammation and reperfusion injury causing cases, obstructing urine flow, tubular backleak
What are the three phases of Acute Tubular
Necrosis?
prodromal
oliguric
post-oliguric
What are some s/s of prodromal phase of Acute Tubular Necrosis?
normal or declining pee output
What are some lab signs of Acute Tubular Necrosis?
serum BUN and creatine increase
What characterizes the oliguric phase of Acute Tubular Necrosis?
usual urine
oliguria (less)and uremia (protein)

tubular function impared
azotemia
What is the post-oliguric phase of Acute Tubular Necrosis?
in recovery 2-10 dyas and full recover takes 1 year until BUN and creatine levels normalizes
