Week 8 (Exam 3) Flashcards
Etiology of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)
probably from both bladder outlet obstruction from BPH
And detrusor muscle overactivity secondary to BOO somehow
ANCA associated Small Vessel Vasculitises
Microscopic Polyangiitis
Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener’s)

Indications for Cyclophosphamide
Malignancies
Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome in Pediatric patients who are confirmed on bx and cant take /don’t respond to adrenocorticosteroids
Which ADPKD is involved in Cell-Cell or Cell-Matrix Interaction?
Defective PDK1 on Chr 16p13.3 (polycystin 1): integral membrane glycoprotein
85% of cases
Medium Vessel Vasculitises
Polyarteritis Nodosa
Kawasaki Disease
Adverse reactions of Rituximab
Lymphoid malignancies, RA, renal toxicity w/ Cisplatin
What staging of bladder cancer is bad?
T2-T4: muscle invasion is the major prognostic factor
Associated conditions of Nephritic Syndrome
SLE
Bacterial Endocarditis: Acute Proliferative Glomerulonephritis
Goodpasture: Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
HSP: IgA Nephropathy
What is renal scarring and what are the complications?
Loss of parenchyma between the calyces and renal capsule
HTN, decreased renal function, proteinuria, ESRD
Renal US findings in CKD
Atrophic or small kidneys
Cortical thinning
Increased Echogenicity
Elevated resistive indices
Nephrotic syndrome complications
Edema Hyperlipidemia Infection (from loss of IgG) Thrombosis Vitamin D Deficiency (urinary loss of Vit D) Anemia (loss of transferrin and EPO)
Urinary pattern of ATN
Renal tubular epithelial cells
Transitional epithelial cells
Granular or Waxy casts
Clinical manifestations of AKI
Rapid decline in GFR
Most severe forms have oliguria or anuria
Maybe from glomerular, interstitial, vascular, ATN
Reversible or goes to CKD
Pathogenesis of Membranous Nephropathy
In Situ Immune Complex Formation PLA2R Ag (mostly primary disease)
Nephrotic/Nephritic Syndrome Diagnostic method
Renal Biopsy
Which diseases often progress to Chronic GN?
90% Crescentic GN
50-80% Focal Segmental Glomeruloscerosis
50% Membranoproliferative GN
Kidney Stone Recurrence Likelihood over time
15% at 1 year
35-40% at 5 years
50% at 10 years
ESRD clinical manifestations
GFR blow 5% of normal
End stage of uremia
What 4 drug classes are used for managing BPH?
a1 blockers: improves in 1-2 weeks
5a-Reductase inhibitors: improves in 6-12 months
Anticholinergic agents
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Treat a UTI
Not acutely ill: cefixime, cefdinir 3-4 days
Acutely ill: Ceftriaxone 10-14 days
Fosfomycin
Single dose tx for UTI
Hypersthenuria
Consistently high specific gravity
Due to deprivation of water
Urinary pattern of vasculitis or GN
Dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts
Hyposthenuria
Consistently low specific gravity (<1.007)
From Concentration problem
Genes associated with bladder cancer
CDKN2A (encodes p16/INK4a and ARF for p53 fxn)
PTCH (negative to hedgehog)
TSC1 (negative to mTOR)
FGFR3 and RAS (on chronic 9, two-pathway model)
Pathalogic diagnosis of anti-GBM disease requirement
Diffuse linear IgG staining along the GBMs in the setting of crescentic glomerulonephritis on immunofluorescence
Contraindications of cyclophosphamide
hypersensitivity, urinary outflow obstruction
ANCA staining patterns
PR3 causes C-ANCA with Cytoplasmic pattern
MPO causes P-ANCA with Perinuclear pattern
Main complications of Anti-GBM disease
Lungs: Hemoptysis from Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage
Respiratory Failure
Crescentic, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
EGPA / Churg-Strauss symptoms
Necrotizing vasculitis with granulomas in the upper and lower respiratory tract with asthma symptoms and eosinophilia
MPO Abs
Imaging findings of advanced renal hyaline arteriolosclerosis
Thickened, tortuous afferent arteriole
Amorphous (thickened) vascular wall
Why does urea go up in dehydration?
ADH binds V2R, increasing cAMP and therefore AQP-2 and Urea transporters on collecting duct
Pharmacologic treatments for Overflow Incontinence
Alpha Adrenergic Antagonists
