Membranous nephropathy
Neprotic syndrom: increased deposit of immune complexes, non inflammation, immune mediated , thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, proteinuria, 30-40% unresponsive to treatment, 30-40% progress to renal failure- common in adults- 85% time unkown other times infection.
Features of nephritic syndrom
edema, hypertension, hematuria, increased creatine levles, proteinuria
Nephritic syndrom: accute glomeulonephritis
Caused_ 1-2 weeks after strep throat. Ag-ab complex deposit into the glomerular basement membrane and attrack immune complexes ( macrophages, neutrophils, etc...); there is an increase in cells in the glomeruli - including mesangial cells. Decrease urine outflow; increased water and NA retention: the macula densa cells send signals to release renin- increase water and Na absorption - increased blood pressure. There is loss of albumin- edema, increased proteinuria and hematuria- recovery most recover soon less then 10 % kidney failure- mostly seen in adults
Nephritic syndrome: Crescentic glomerulonephritis
Occurs after focal nephrosis of capilliaries in goodpastures syndrome ( lung and renal disease); Ab in the basement membrane cause there to be holes: there is anuria; capillaries are compressed- decreased blood flow - prognosis not good- dialysis
Diabetis mellitus
Glomerulos: protein sugar complex deter the basement membrane- inside they irretate the mesangium - secretes collagen. There is a thickened basement memebrane- glomeruloscleoris. Mesangial expansion - Kimmelsteil wilsons disease. Vascular_ arteriols walls thicken, lumen narrows, ischemia and atrophy. Bacterial infection - pyelonephritis- kidney- Proteinuria. this usually takes 10-20 years to develop in a diabetic
Pyelonehritis
caused by: ascending infection fron the ureter and bladder (common in women), or hematogenous ( spread of -ve bacteria from GI tract or spesis).
accute pyelonephritis- supprative infection, abcess in kidneys ( pus permeates throughout kidney into renal pelvis), Chronci - evloved from accute results in destruction of kidney, scar tissu, shrinkages - loss of function.
Renal cell carcinoma
85% of cancers, cause unkown
nodules or masses demarcated from normal parenchymal cells, invades through the capsule and into the surrounding tissues, usually obstructs the renal vein, will be yellow in color from lipid deposits. Triad- flank pain, hematuria, and abdominal mass
Can diagnosis with CT. Not a good cancer
Most common renal carcinoma
wilms tumor- common in infants
mutation in the WT-1 gene tumor supressor. Mass growa uncontrollably- it presents like a small kidney with immature glomeruli, meschyme and tubles. Usually found on palipiation, very malignant requires surgery and chemo
Renal stones: types
Calcium: most common; improper metabolism of Ca2+ thryroid and parathyroid- or kidney problem; sturvite- largets type of stones; poor converion of urea to ammonia; Uric acid- patients with have gout, Cycstein not very common associated with cystonosis.
Pathology of kidney stones
Urinary bladder or renal pelvis; less then 3 mm size except struvite stones, more common in men ages 20-30, sympotoms hematuria and renal colic; bladder stones- chronic infeciton
Cystitis
Infection of the urinary bladder:usually caused by ground negatice bacteria. Accute- there is visible congestion, hemorrage somtimes pus- treat with antibiotics. Chronic- hemorrage, ulcers, fibrosis, scarring- resistant to antibiotice ( diabetes, stones, or prostate), common in youger women and older men
Benign prostatic hypertrophy ( BPH)
Cause- increase in E/T ratio with age: estrogen potentiates the growth the prostate. while present with soft pliable nodules and hyperplasia. Symptoms- increased frequency of urination, pain while urination (dysuria), increased urgency, chronic cystitis, hydrouretor. Prostate may become trabeculated ( grow into the bladder) and increased in fibromuscular stroma around the prostate.
What is the most common cause of vaginal bleeding?
DUB- dysfunctional uterine bleeding- occurs at puberty and again at menopause- no ovulation
What is the most common benign tumor of uterus?
Fibroids- leiomyoma- almost always benign. Depends on location of the tumor. Small tumors are assymptomatic, Large tumors mass effect- pressure on the retum and bladder- constapation, menstral irregularities and heaviness in the abdomin
Endometrial hyperplasia
Due to excess estrogen present but responds to progesterone: causes anovulatory cycles, polycistic ovulatory dises, and exogenous estrogen. Type of PCO: simple, complex- no atypis and complex with atypis- carcinoma need to remove the uterus does not repsonde to progesteron
Two types of endometrial carcinomas
Endometroid- responds to estrogen and there is hyperplasia. Serous carcinoma does not respond to estrogen occurs in atrophic endometrium there is a mutation in the P53 occurs in older women and there is a poor prognosis
What increases your risk to endometrial carcinomas
obesity, diabetes, hypertension, age ( 55-60), infertility.
Achondroplasia
defect in endochondral ossification - dwarfisim; growth of long bones are retarded not trunk- autosomal dominant
osteogenesis
defective bone formation; mutation in the gene coding fro collagen: dominant or recessive- show up with blue sclera, thin skinn and thin enamel
Osteomylitis
bacterial infection- staph, TB or mixed flora in drug addicts. metaphysis is the area where the blood supply comes- pain in joints- presure and increased exudate
sequestra versus involucrum
S - dead bone
I- new bone formation to protect against infection
Osteoporosis
bone normal but thinned out- big pores. reduction in mass; more prevalent in women. Due to changes in hormones; decreased estrogen, increased thyroig, increased coritsol, diet
osteomalacia
Adults- soft bone- demineralization of the organic portion of the bone- due to Vit deficiency and decrease phosphate. In young people rickets. New bone formed without minerals- osteoid. Adults- muscle spasm (tetany) adn fractures; children bow legs
simple fracture
one line fracture bone not exposed
compound fracture
one line fracture- bone exposed
comminuted
multple fracturs bone not exposed
complete
fracture right through the bone not exposed
partial complete
half way through- green stick
cause of fracture
trauma or disease- tumor etc..
Osteosarcoma
Most common bone cancer- young people metaphysis- long bones- knees; srugery chemo 5 year survival mimics bone remodelling
osteoarthritis
Primary cuases - unknown; 2nd cuased abnormal weight barring on joints. Cracks in the cartilage- bones don't slide smoothly over one another
Wear and tear. Mechanical stress moves down the bones- causing remodelling0 ostephytes- new bone grows like spkies- pain
rheumatoid arthritis
Autoimmune; associated with other systemic features ( fibrosis in the pleural space of the lungs), deformed joints, ulnar drift, immobilization of joints ( destruction of cartilage and bone), increased Ab ( change in blood composition), symmetrical change, increased risk in women
