Renal

Matching:

Nephritic vs. Nephrotic syndromes

Decreased osmotic capillary pressure

nephrotic

Portal HTN

Neither

Increased glomerular capillary permeability

Both

Proteinuria

Both

Edema

Both

Hyperlipidemia

nephrotic

Hypoalbuminemia

nephrotic

Systemic vasospasms with HTN

nephritic

Glomerular damage

Both

Increased risk of atherosclerosis

nephrotic

Acute vs. Chronic Pyelonephritis (PN)

Cause: bacterial infection

Acute PN

Treatment: antibiotic; push fluids; hygiene

Acute PN

Onset: sudden (flu-like symptoms)

Acute PN

Pain; fatigue

Acute PN

Bladder irritation

Acute PN

Rarely leads to ARF

Acute PN

Cause: bacteria along with other factors (blockage)

Chronic PN

Renal scarring

Chronic PN

Comes to medical attention late (w/ renal insufficiency already present)

Chronic PN

May progress to renal failure

Chronic PN

Loss of tubular function to concentrate urine

Chronic PN

Multiple choice:

Constricting the glomerular efferent arteriole will decrease:

Renal blood blow

Which are the normal constituents of urine?

Potassium

Neurogenic bladder may be associated with:

All of the above: UTI, Over-distention of the urinary bladder with ischemia of the bladder wall, Spinal cord injury, and Loss of bladder muscle tone

Acute renal failure may be associated with:

All of the above: Decreased GFR, Decreased nephron reabsorption, Necrosis of tubular epithelium, Metabolic acidosis

All of these may be manifestations of uremia except:

Metabolic alkalosis

Uremia may be associated with:

All of these: Anemia, Increased creatinine, and HTN & CHF

Acute renal failure may be caused by:

All of these: Hypovolemia, Toxins, Obstruction of urinary tract, End-stage liver failure

Constriction of the glomerular afferent arteriole will decrease:

All of these are decreased: GFR, PGC (hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillary), and RBF (renal blood flow)

Which of the following could delay the onset of end-stage renal failure

Low protein diet

Short answer:

Clinical manifestation:

Incontinence

Site:

Bladder

Mechanism:

Drug --> helps bladder to contract @ appropriate times --> control of urination --> no incontinence --> regain bladder control

Site:

Spinal cord

Mechanism:

Drug --> increased neuron activity --> increased neuron communication --> bladder receives messages to empty --> regain bladder control

Why does anemia develop in patients with renal failure?

Diseased kidney cannot produce erythropoietin --> no bone marrow stimulation --> no RBC production --> anemia

List some causes of acute renal failure:

-decreased blood flow


-hypovolemia


-exposure to certain drugs


-exposure to certain toxins


-dehydration


-heart failure


-shock

Third spacing may develop in patients with renal disease. Give a specific cause for third spacing to develop in renal disease and the mechanism for its development.

Cause:



Mechanism:

Cause:

Plaque

Mechanism:

Plaque --> obstruction --> fluids cannot get through --> no filtration --> back up of fluid --> increased pressure --> 3rd spacing

Your patient is going into a coma. Give the mechanism for a patient to go into a coma for the patient with uremia.

Uremia --> build up of urea in blood --> urea crosses blood-brain barrier --> toxicity to brain --> coma

Systemic hypotension may develop in patients with renal failure. Give a specific cause for systemic hypotension to develop in renal failure.

Cause:



Mechanism:

Cause:

Renin NOT released (inhibited)

Mechanism:

Renal failure --> renin not released (inhibited) --> cannot constrict blood vessels --> decreased blood pressure --> systemic hypotension

Bleeding tendencies may develop in patients with renal failure. Give the mechanism for the development of bleeding tendencies in renal failure.

Renal failure --> impaired synthesis of erythropoietin --> impaired platelet aggregation --> impaired clotting --> bleeding tendencies



Renal failure --> increased urea in blood --> toxic coagulation --> bleeding tendencies

Hepatic encephalopathy

Neither

Increased ammomia blood levels

Neither

Systemic HTN

nephritic

Reflux

Chronic PN

Your patient has neurogenic bladder. Give the main clinical manifestation. Give a drug to treat it, the site of treatment, and the mechanism.

Clinical manifestation:



Site:



Mechanism:
