of fever, rash, and eosinophils

antibiotic
treatment for AIN
STOP THE DRUG!!!!!!!!
This usually brings about an improvement in renal function.
In severe cases, a trial of Steroids may be of benefit, but no large trials have confirmed this
A chronic condition involving fibrosis of the interstitium and tubular destruction.
The final common pathway of most chronic renal diseases
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis (CIN)
if pt has a history of frequent pain who presents with proteinuria & elevated creatinine what should you think
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
in Chronic Interstitial Nephritis for kids, what do you have to look for
lead toxicity
if a pt has glucosuria with normal serum glucose, what should you think
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
what is the common cause of Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
Chronic Obstructive Uropathy-Ureteral Reflux

aka kidney stones block up the urethra and urine gets refluxed back up
Chronic Pyelonephritis
Chronic Renal Lithiasis
Medications-NSIADs, Lithium
Post Acute Tubular Necrosis
Autoimmune-Sjogren’s Syndrome
Radiation

all possible causes of what?
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
what is the hallmark of Chronic Interstitial Nephritis?
STERILE PYURIA

white blood cells in urine but no infection
most important treatment for Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
Blood pressure controll
DOC for Chronic Interstitial Nephritis
ACE-I or ARBs

control BP at level of kidney
most common cause of RENAL acute renal failure
Acute Tubular Necrosis
what happens in Acute Tubular Necrosis...what is it due to?
Necrosis of the tubules due to micro-thrombi.

This is frequently due to prolonged hypotension and augmentation of the immune system from sepsis.
number one cause of Acute Tubular Necrosis
Sepsis
urine sediment showing multiple muddy brown granular casts =
Acute Tubular Necrosis
treatment for Acute Tubular Necrosis?
Treat underlying condition (sepsis, volume depletion, hypotension)

remember from the quiz though that this apparently can get better on its own...
does Dopamine work for Acute Tubular Necrosis?
nope
Metabolic acidosis usually caused by a defect in renal tubular function
Renal tubular acidosis
what are the different types of Renal tubular acidosis?
One proximal type (type 2) & two distal types (1 & 4)
what is the anion gap like in RTA?
normal
what do the number type of RTA indicate?
Number indicates the serum K+ level

1 is low, 2 normal, 4 is high
in type 2 RTA what is the mechanism similar to?
Causes by a mechanism similar to acetazolamide

Decreases bicarbonate resorption in the proximal tubule
what is a cause of type 2 RTA for kids?
Fanconi Syndrome
what is Fanconi Syndrome and what is it associated with
Rare disorder of tubule function
Results in excess amounts of glucose, bicarbonate, phosphates (phosphorus salts), uric acid, potassium, sodium, and certain amino acids being excreted in the urine.

seen in type 2 RTA
mechanism of type 4 RTA?
Affects the Na/K-H exchange in the distal tubule
Hyperkalemic, hyperchloremic acidosis is associated with what RTA?
type 4
what causes type 4 RTA (mostly in kids)
Obstructive uropathy
Interstitial renal disease
Multicystic dysplastic kidneys
Patients become acidotic & hypokalemic in what?
Type 1 RTA
in this Tubulointerstitial Disease, children present with failure to thrive, and can cause kidney stones
type 1 RTA
A type of blood cancer in which plasma cells grow uncontrollably, usually inside the bone marrow =
Multiple Myeloma
the following are causes of renal failure due to what?

Cast nephropathy
Light chain deposition disease
Primary amyloidosis
Hypercalcemia
Renal tubular dysfunction
Volume depletion
Multiple Myeloma
what are the 2 main pathologic mechanisms in myeloma of the kidney
Intracellular cast formation
Direct tubular toxicity by light chains
Most common pathological diagnosis on renal biopsy in multiple myeloma?
Cast nephropathy

Occurs due to light chains binding with Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein, which is secreted by tubular cells in ascending loop of Henle forming casts
Light chain deposition disease is usually due to what?
kappa immunoglobulin fragments which deposit in kidneys

seen in multiple myeloma
Amyloidosis is usually due to what?
lambda light chains

seen in multiple myeloma

why does hypercalcemia occur in multiple myeloma
Hypercalcemia occurs in multiple myeloma due to bone resorption from lytic lesions

occurs in 15% of patients with multiple myeloma
