|
|
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. |

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.

|
|
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
