  1. 1#Schistosomiasis-haematobium: North + sub-Saharan Africa + middle east - urinary terminal hematuria + dysuria; hydronephrosis, pyelo, + SCC of bladder
    -mansoni: above + south America and caribbean - #intestinal diarrhea + ab pain, intestinal ulceration and IDA, hepatosplenomegaly, periportal pipestem fibrosis and portal HTN
    -japonicum: Asia; same as mansoni
    -not in US bc don't have freshwater snails that incubate inf larvae
    #-mature in liver and adults stay in blood vessels and release eggs that penetrate and get excreted in location of preference, eggs then inf snails
    #-TH2 granuloma rxn, eosinophils, and macrophages --> fibrosis
  2. 2#Fabry's disease-X linked lipid storage disorder --> alpha galactosidase A deficiency needed to break down globotriaosylceramide (sphingolipid)
    -Gb3 accumulates in vasc smooth muscle, glomerulus/distal tubule cells, cardiac myocytes and dorsal root /autonomic ganglia
    -early (teens): neuropathic pain/burning, hypohidrosis, distal loss of hot/cold sensation, angiokeratomas (dark red non blanching macules in clusters on butt, groin, umbilicus), telangiectasias
    -late (adulthood): TIA, stroke, LVH, and proteinuria/polyuria (renal failure)
  3. 3Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis-macrophages and T cells pass into Bowman's space --> leakage of fibrin
    -damage to glomerulus and BM
    -fibrin deposits and parietal cells proliferate (macrophages mediate) --> fibrosis
    -severe renal injury w/in weeks/months and irrev loss of fxn
  4. 4Type I RPGN-goodpasture's syndrome
    -C3 and IgG deposited in glomerular BM
    -immunostain: linear deposition of immune complexes
  5. 5Filtration fraction-fraction of plasma flowing through glomerulus that is filtered into the Bowman space (usu 20%)
    -FF = GFR/RPF
    -GFR est by clearance of creatinine or inulin (amount excreted = amount filtered bc no reabsorption or secretion)
    -RPF est by clearance of PAH (mostly tubular secretion --> amount excreted > amount filtered) but is still filtered
  6. 6Clearance calculation= ([urine conc of x] x [urine flow rate]) / plasma concentration of x
  7. 7Catheter inf risk-duration of catheterization most sig factor for UTI
    -reduce risk by avoiding unnecessary cath, sterilization techniques, and removing ASAP
    -antibiotic coating, bladder irrigation, and routine replacement not helpful
    -prophyllactic antibiotics reduce risk but increases MDR
  8. 8Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis-risks: AA, obesity, heroin, steroids, hepatitis, HIV
    -slerosis of some portions of the glomeruli
  9. 9Horsehoe kidney-incr risk of uretopelvic jxn obstruction, recurrent inf, urolithiasis, Wilms tumor in children, and RCC in adults
    -central isthmus gets caught in IMA
  10. 10RBFRBF = RPF/ (1 - hematocrit)
    1 - hematocrit represents volume occupied by plasma (excluding RBCs)
  11. 11#Henoch Schonlein purpura-most common systemic vasculitis in kids
    -IgA ICs deposit in walls of small vessels and renal mesangium --> mesangial proliferation and crescent formation
    #-activate complement in alternative/lecithin pathways
    #-leads to organ dysfunction and palpable purpura (usu on LEs); also lower GI bleeding, bowel wall edema, and intussusception; self limited migratory arthralgias and arthritis
    #-condition is self-limited and clears when ICs clear --> just supportive therapy
  12. 12Fetal hydronephrosis-usu not clinically sig, due to high compliance of fetal renal pelvis (fetal kidney is susceptible to dilation)
    -most common pathological cause of unilateral hydronephrosis is narrowing of proximal ureter at the ureteropelvic jxn (last segment to canalize)
    -babies will have palpable abdominal mass from the dilated enlarged kidney
    -obstruction from persistent membrane at posterior urethral valves most common cause of bilateral hydronephrosis (defect of Wolfian duct and only occurs in males)
    -nonobstructive cause: incomplete closure of intravesicular portion of ureter during bladder contraction --> vesicoureteral reflux
  13. 13Acyclovir nephrotoxicity-5-10% of pts getting IV
    -toxicity can lead to crystallization and renal tubular damage --> acute rise in serum creatinine
    -prevent with aggressive hydration and slowing the rate of IV infusion
  14. 14Acute ureteral obstruction and FF-GFR decreased when obstruction causes pressure in Bowman's capsule to rise
    -GFR decreases more than the compensatory increase in RPF --> FF also decreases
  15. 15#Urea-filtered than reabsorbed passively (20-50%)
    -no Tm/transporters
  16. 16#Pelvic sgx risk-ureter close to pelvic vessels (iliac) where pelvic nodes are resected --> can be damaged in hysterectomy w/ pelvic LAD
    -accidental ureter ligation causes obstruction w/ hydronephrosis and flank pain (ballotable mass)
    #-urine output and cre normal bc other kidney compensates
  17. 17#Vesicoureteral reflux#-complication of prostatectomy or bladder sgx or congenital right angle of the valve
    -can lead to pyelonephritis and hydroureteronephrosis --> renal scarring/atrophy of upper and lower poles #(compound papillae in these regions are always open and are more vulnerable)
  18. 18#Post strep GN-subepithelial humps on EM
    -granular depositions w/in mesangium and glomerular capillary walls on IgG/C3 immuno (alternative complement pathway)
    -neutrophils/monocytes infiltrate mesangium --> hypercellular appearance
    -worst prognosis is older age --> less likely to resolve
    #-due to antigens i.e. strep pyogenic exotoxin B
    #-gross kidney swelling and surface punctate hemorrhages
  19. 19Acid buffers in urine1) HPO4-: titratable acid that combines w/ H+ to form H2PO4-
    2) NH3: generated by proximal tubular cells via metab of glutamine --> NH4+ (more impt bc kidneys can greatly incr NH3 in chronic acidosis)
    -allows kidney to excrete acid w/o changing pH too much
  20. 20Urine dilution and concentration throughout the nephron-DCT relatively impermeable to water and reabs of solutes continue to occur --> urine is most dilute in dehydrated states
    -in dehydrated states, the collecting ducts contain most conc urine
  21. 21Membraneous Nephropathy-nephrotic
    -85% idiopathic
    -other causes: diabetes, solid tumors, SLE, drugs (gold, penicillamine, NSAIDs), infs (hepatitis, malaria, syphilis)
    -diffuse thickening of capillary wall w/o incr in cellularity
    -spikes on EM
    -immuno: IgG and C3
  22. 22Multicystic kidney dysplasia-nonhereditary renal malformation
    -multiple cysts of varying size in kidney
    -absence of normal pelvocaliceal system
    -assoc w/ ureteral or ureteropelvic atresia
    -affected kidney is nonfunctional but can be compensated by normal kidney
    -abdominal US of fetus or newborn is diagnostic
  23. 23Minimal change disease-nephrotic
    -most common cause in kids
    -usu occurs after resp inf, immunization, insect bite --> T cell dysfunction --> glomerular permeability factor (cytokine) --> damages podocytes and decreases negative charge of lining --> selective loss of albumin
    -negative heparin sulfate usu repels anions
    -no changes on LM, EM --> foot process effacement and fusion
    -no immune complexes or IgG
  24. 24Pyelonephritis-usu unlikely unless predisposition i.e. vesicoureteral reflux
  25. 25Renal papillary necrosis-obstruction of small renal vessels --> ischemia
    -grey/yellow necrosis distal renal pyramids
    -sloughed papillae visible as tissue flecks
    -dark, bloody urine and colicky flank pain
    CAUSES:
    -sickle cell disease or trait: otherwise healthy pt w/ acute onset gross hematuria
    -analgesic nephropathy: NSAIDs decr prostaglandins which vasoconstrict and decr renal blood flow
    -diabetes, pyelo, and obstruction
  26. 26Fanconi syndrome-polyuria, acidosis, and hypophosphatemia
  27. 27Kimmelstiel Wilson Nodules-diabetic nephropathy
    -hyaline acellular deposits made of plasma proteins
    -glomerular BM thickening, increased mesangial matrix deposition
    -over time the nodules compress the capillaries --> decr fxn
    -urine sediment usu normal i.e. neg for hematuria and casts, pos for proteinuria
    -nodules are eosinophilic and PAS+
  28. 28Work up of metabolic alkalosis-check pts volume status and urine chloride
    -can lose HCl from vomiting or nasogastric suction --> hypovolemia and low urine Cl- [saline responsive]
    -thiazides and loop diuretics make you lose NaCl at first but then aldosterone kicks in --> high Cl- in urine then low [saline responsive]
    -mineralocorticoid excess i.e. Conn syndrome or Cushing --> K and H loss and high urine Cl- bc of pressure natriuresis (HTN) [salt unresponsive bc aldosterone is autonomous]
  29. 29Urachus-remnant of the allantois that connected the yolk sac to the urogenital sinus
    -can be patent leading to straw colored urine discharge from the umbilicus
    -can form a sinus or a cyst
  30. 30Leukocyte adhesion def-decr expression of neutrophil call adhesion proteins (beta2 integrins)
    -neutrophils fail to adhere to vessels and cannot move to inf
    -delayed separation of umbilical cord > 1 month, and omphalitis (infection of the umbilical stump)
  31. 31Embryonic kidney-comes from intermediate mesoderm
    -ureteric bud from the caudal mesonephric duct forms collecting tubules --> ureters
    -metanephric blastema forms everything up to the DCT
  32. 32Serum Cre vs GFR-balance b/t cre syn in muscle and excretion via GFR (relatively constant and dependent mostly on GFR)
    -nonlinear relationship: when GFR is normal, changes result in little change in cre
    -when GFR is abnormal, small changes result in large changes in cre --> more sensitive
  33. 33Uric acid-can be released along w/ phophorus, and K due to tumor lysis syndrome
    -uric acid precipitates in low pH (lowest at DCT and collecting duct)
    -prevent w/ urine alkalinization and hydration + allopurinol
  34. 34Constriction of the efferent arteriole-increases GFR and decreases the RPF --> increases the FF
    -as resistance increases though, a decr RPF causes more time for filtration --> high oncotic pressures overwhelm the hydrostatic pressure --> GFR falls at very high efferent arteriole resistances
  35. 35Blood supply to ureters-proximal = branches of renal artery
    -distal = branches of superior vesical artery
    -in between: gonadal, common and internal iliac, aorta, and uterine arteries
  36. 36Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity-i.e. cyclosporine and tacrolimus
    -dose dependent renal vasoconstriction and tubular cell damage --> acute renal failure
    -cyclosporine metab via liver and guy cytochrome p450 CYP3A (inhibited by grapefruit juice)
  37. 37Aging kidney-renal function will decline but since muscle mass also declines --> cre can be normal
    -always caution w/ dosing in elderly
  38. 38Digoxin pharmacokineticsInfluencing factors:
    -intestinal absorption (gut bacteria can degrade)
    -excreted primarily unchanged by kidney (not cleared by liver)
    -less than 1/3 is protein bound
    -muscle mass primary source where digoxin is stored
  39. 39Cholesterol emboli-blue toe, livedo reticularis following invasive vascular procedure
    -cholesterol from large arteries lodge into small arteries --> ischemia
    -AKI common after esp in elderly but no frank pain or hematuria bc cholesterol are small and needle shaped
  40. 40Cystinuria-suspect in case of recurrent stones in young patient
    -AR disorder of sodium indep dibasic a.a. transporter (cystine, ornithine, lysine, and arginine) [others are pretty soluble and do not form stones]
    -hexagonal shaped crystals in urine or sodium cyanide nitroprusside test (add cyanide to urine to convert cystine to cysteine --> nitroprusside reacts to -SH and color changes to red/purple)
    -tx: hydration and urine alkalinization
  41. 41Orthostatic proteinuria Transient proteinuriaORTHOSTATIC
    -usu adolescents
    -higher protein excretion in upright position < 1 g/day (normal supine)
    -renal function is normal
    TRANSIENT
    -change in blood flow through glomerulus due to exercise, fever, stress, or cold exposure
    -common in young adults w/ normal renal fxn
    -disappears in repeat testing
  42. 42Idiopathic membraneous nephropathy-PLA2R antibodies that are mainly IgG4 --> immune deposition in glomerulus (not in secondary membraneous nephropathy)
    -is a transmembrane R found on podocytes
    -secondary causes: class V lupus nephritis
  43. 43Mixed cryoglobulinemia-assoc w/ HepC
    -IgM deposition in glomerulus --> BM thickening and cellular proliferation
  44. 44Calcium oxalate tx-thiazides prevent excretion of Ca --> less Ca in urine to form stones
    -although acetazolamide alkalinizes urine, it causes a metabolic acidosis which releases Ca from bone (potassium citrate is better)
  45. 45IgA nephropathy-most common GN
    -usu older children/YA w/in 5-7 days for URI
    -painless hematuria lasts for several days, subsides and recurs with another URI
    -mesangial hypercellularity and mesangial IgA deposits
  46. 46JG hyperplasia-JG cells = modified smooth muscle cells w/ renin containing zymogen granules located in the wall of afferent arteriole
    -long standing renal hypoperfusion i.e. renal stenosis leads to incr renin production and JG hyperplasia
  47. 47Stones after colectomy-decreased absorption of bicarb from gut --> chronic metabolic acidosis and increased acid excretion from the kidney and increased bicarb reabs from kidney --> acidic urine (exacerbates certains stones i.e. uric acid)
  48. 48Urea and vasopressin-cortical collecting ducts are impermeable to urea but vasopressin activates urea transporters in the medullary collecting duct (passive) --> increases medullary osmotic gradient which maximally concentrates the urine
    -normally: passively reabs in PCT and medullary collecting duct; also secreted by thin regions of the loop of Henle
  49. 49Calcium handling-majority is passivley reabs in the PCT and ascending loop of Henle
    -reabs from DCT stimulated by PTH
  50. 50Foscarnet-used to treat gancyclovir resistant CMV
    -can chelate calcium causing hypocalcemia
    -also induces the wasting of Magnesium which can also decrease calcium
    -changes in these --> seizures
  51. 51Amphotericin B toxicity-nephrotoxic (decr GFR and direct tubular damage)
    -can decrease EPO --> anemia
    -increased membrane permeability of distal tubule --> hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia (weakness and arrhythmias)
  52. 52Complications of chronic kidney disease-renal osteodystrophy/low calcium due to low vit D --> osteopenia or osteomalacia
    -accumulation of uremic toxins decr peripheral conversion of T4 --> T3 (hypothyroidism)
    -build up of uremia toxins --> fatigue, weakness, and itching
  53. 53Renal vein thrombosis-flank pain, hematuria, and left testicular varicocele in setting of nephrotic syndrome bc loss of anticoagulant factors i.e. antithrombin III
    -also incr LDH bc of ischemia
  54. 54Citrate and stones-high urine citrate binds to calcium preventing crystallization and facilitating excretion
    -low citrate can occur in metabolic acidosis i.e. distal renal tubular acidosis and chronic diarrhea bc of incr citrate reabsorption
  55. 55Thiazide diuretics and calcium-causes hypercalcemia
    -inhibition of the NaCl symporter reduces the Na inside DCT cells --> incr activity of basolateral Na/Ca exchanger (Na goes out, Ca goes in)
    -volume depletion can also increase Ca reabs in the PCT
  56. 56Analgesic nephropathy-modest elevation in cre, mild proteinuria, polyuria/nocturia (microscopic hematuria and sterile pyuria may be present)
    -NSAIds conc in medulla and papillae --> uncouple oxidative p'ation --> deplete glutathione --> lipid peroxidation/damage --> chronic interstitial nephritis (fibrosis, tubular atrophy, papillary necrosis)
    -calcium may deposit in areas of inflammation
  57. 57Ischemic tubular necrosis-usu acutely after prolonged hypoTN (post sepsis, sgx)
  58. 58Stones and urine and serum levels-usu just an increase in urine conc and not necessarily increase in conc in blood
    -i.e. calcium stones usu not due to hypercalcemia bc of regulation via PTH and vitD
    -same with uric acid
  59. 59ACEIs and acute renal failure-normally can expect serum cre to increase by 30%
    -can cause acute renal failure in pts with renal artery stenosis, decompensated HF, CKD, and volume depletion
  60. 60Drug induced kidney injury1) drug induced glomerular disease: usu immune mediated and not direct tox; heroin and pamidronate (FSGS) + gold (membraneous)

    -symptoms of alcohol intoxication, acute renal failure 24-72hrs after, high anion gap metabolic acidosis
    -UA: tubular casts and oxalate crystals
    -glomeruli are normal
  62. 62Multiple Myeloma kidney injury-cast nephropathy: free light chains precipitate with Tam Horsefall proteins and form obstructive, glassy, intensely eosinophilic casts
    -AL amyloidosis: deposition of light chain fragments in glomerular mesangium and capillary loops
  63. 63Ischemic acute tubular necrosis-during oliguric phase (24-36hrs) --> hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, decr sodium and calcium, incr phosphate and magnesium; urine --> muddy brown casts, low urine osmolarity, high urine Na and fraction of sodium excretion
    -tubular epithelial cells can regenerate --> recovery phase (1-2 weeks) --> vigorous diuresis, decr K, Mg, phosphate, and calcium; can become dehydrated (GFR fixed before absorption capability of the tubular cells)
    -straight portion of PCT and TALH most susceptible bc in medulla and has high O2 demand
  64. 64Kidney position in respect to ribs-12th rib false rib the overlies the parietal pleura medially and the L kidney laterally (fracture can lacerate the kidney)
    -L ribs 9-11 overlie the spleen
  65. 65Membranoproliferative GN-assoc w/ HepC inf
    -hypercellular glomeruli, thickening and splitting of GBM bc of subendothelial IC deposition
  66. 66Waxy casts-shiny tubular stuctures that form in dilated nephron tubules that hypertrophy in response to reduced renal mass
    -due to chronic kidney failure
  67. 67Acute hemolytic transfusion rxn-fever, chills, hypoTN, dyspnea, chest/back pain, hgb-nuria (red or brown urine)
    -usu mins to hrs w/in blood transfusion and usu due to ABO incompatibility
    -usu IgM --> complement --> shock and complement mediated cell lysis
  68. 68CKD and metabolic bone disease-decr kidney fxn --> incr phosphate levels --> decr in calcium and increased prod of FGF-23 --> decreases PCT phosphate reabs and decr calcitriol production
    -leads to elevated PTH --> osteitis fibrosa
  69. 69Risk factors for stones-incr protein intake --> acid load --> buffered w/ bone salts --> hypercalciuria (also increases citrate reabs causing hypocitruria)
    -incr sodium intake --> less reabs in PCT --> less calcium reabs --> hypercalciuria
    -pyridoxine useful for hyperoxaluria bc decreases endogenous production
  70. 70Net renal excretion rate=(GFR x plasma conc of X) - tubular reabsorption of X
  71. 71Psoas abscess-muscle: transverse processes/lateral vertebrae T12-L5 --> deep to inguinal ligament to insert onto lesser trochanter of the femur [hip flexor]
    -risk factors: diabetes, IV drug use, HIV, immunosuppression
    -signs: fever, flank or back pain, inguinal mass, difficulty walking
    -psoas sign = pain when extending the hip
  72. 72Fibromyalgia-abnormal central processing of pain stimuli
    -exercise can exacerbate but incremental aerobic exercise can help
    -TCAs and SNRIs considered when severe or refractory
    -most common in women 20-55
    -psych component
  73. 73Polymyalgia rheumatica-inflammatory disorder in >50
    -subacute pain/stiffness in shoulders, hips (not really soft tissue like fibromyalgia)
    -weight loss, fever, and malaise
  74. 74Polyarteritis nodosa-segmental, transmural inflammation of arterial wall with fibrinoid necrosis affecting small to medium arteries (not lung)
