Familial amyloidosis has been characterized in these 3 cat breeds

Abyssinian


Siamese


Oriental

What breed of cats have polycystic kidney disease

Persian

How old are Abyssinian cats with familial amyloidosis when they develope CRF?

with in the first 3 years of life

Besides amyloid depositis in the kidney's, where else can it be deposited with Abyssinian cats?

adrenal


thyroid


pancrease


colon



- generally not clinical to the syndrome

In Siamese and oriental shorthair cats, where is amyoid deposted?

more commonly liver


The amyloid AA protein is a little different than Abyssinian cats and might explain why it prefers the liver

PKD in Persians is a ____ trait (inheritance)

autosomal dominant

Where do cysts form in PKD?



What happens over time?

proximal and distal tubules


renal cortex and medulla



increase in number and size

How early can PKD be detected in cats?

6-8 weeks of age U/S


but absence of custs does not preclude their developement at a later age

Do cats with PKD have hypertension

no

What familial renal disease do samyed dogs get?

heridatary nephritis


abnormal collagen linking of the basement membrane

What familial disease do soft coated wheaten terriers get?

PLE


PLN


or both


immune complex glomerulonephritis


TX of cystinuria


SX


Medical


RX

- mechanical removal


- dietary dissolution of calculi (dissolve in alkaline urine)


- D-penicillamine (make more soluable in urine) - more GI upset


2-mercaptopropinoylglycine (2-MPG)

Dogs with DCM have defective biosynthesis of this non-essential AA which generally occurs in dogs that also have cystinuria

carniturua (carnitine deficiency)

What animals get hyperuricosuria?

Dalmations and primary hepatic disease

How do dogs with primary hepatic disease develope hyperuricosuria

Reduced conversion of uric acid to allantoin and ammonium to urea.



Most common with PSS

How does Allpurinol work?


What should be avoided?

reduce the serum and urine uric acid concentrations


administered to dogs consuming a purine restricted diet to avoid formation of xanthine calculi

How long until urate uroliths are dissolved

3.5 months

What animals will allopurinol not work for?

hepatic defects


possibly will resolve with PSS correction

How is primary renal glucosuria diagnosed?

serial blood glucose measurements or fructosamine R/O hyperglycemia.

This is an inherited proximal tubular defcet that results in glucosuria, amonoaciduria, proteinuria, phosphaturia, and phyophosphatemia.

Fanconi syndrome in humans

What breed of dog has inherited fanconi syndrome

basenji

What diseases/drugs can cause acquired Fanconi Syndrome?

gentamicin


ethylene glycol


primary hypoparathyroidism

What abnormalities does Fanconi Syndrome Cause?

glucosuria


aminoaciduria (cystine)


proteinuria


abnormal absoroption of HCO3, Na, K, and urate

What is the sex prediliction for Fanconi syndrome?
females 3:1

Diagnostic testing for Fanconi Syndrome show initially and late disease:

glucosuria


euglycemia


isostenuria



as the disease progresses


hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and renal failure

TX for Fanconi Syndrome:


What breeding enthusiasts want


Urinary alkalization option


Goals of HCO3 levels and K levels

Supportive


- Administration of sodium bicarbonate - exacerbates bicarbonaturia.


- Urinary alkalization with potassium citrate is helpful.


- Goal is to keep HCO3 above 12 and potassium 4-6 mEq/L


- TX: Renal failure

Prognosis for Fanconi Syndrome

Depends on the degree of azotemia at diagnosis


short term - guraded to good


long term - poor

How do the renal tubules regulate acid base hemostasis (2)?

1. absorption of 90% of HCO3- in the proximal tubule


2. excretion of H and ammonium in the distal renal tubule

What is type II RTA?

inability of the proximal tubule to prevent loss of HCO3-

What is type I RTA?

inability of the distal tubule to excrete H

What is renal tubular acidosis

rare tubular disorders that lead to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis

What occurs at the cellular level(transporter) that causes proximal RTA.

defect in the basolateral membrane Na/HCO3- cotransporter with leakage of HC)3- into the tubular lumen resulting in priximal RTA

Why is proximal RTA self limiting?

metabolic acidosis is self-limiting because the distal tubule's ability to excrete acid. If oral sodium bicarbonate is added, the HCO3- presented to the distal tubule overwhelms the distal buffering system and results in bicarbonateuria.

How is proximal RTA diagnosed?

acidic urine pH


hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis


identification of other tubular defects (euglycemia, glucosuria, aminoaciduria)

TX for proximal RTA

potassium citrate

What can the kidneys not do with type 1 RTA in response to systemic acidosis?

in response to systemic metabolic acidosis, unable to acidify the urine.

This type of RTA is associated with hypoaldosteronism

Type IV distal RTA

What occurs at the molecular level of Type IV RTA

loss of aldosterone stimulated H/ATPase pump and loss of distal Na absorption

How is type I RTA diagnosed

hyperchloremic metabolic acisosis with alkaline urine


failure to acidify the urine in response to an ammonium chloride challenge

TX for type I RTA

administration of a alkali source


potassium and sodium citrate

Under what two situations is ADH released

hyperosmolality


hypovolemia

Where dose ADH act in the nephron and what does it do?

collecting tubules and collecting ducts



makes them become more permable to free water resulting in more concentrated urine

What are some causes of acquired NDI?

E.coli - endotoxin - receptor interference


RX - glucocorticoids/chemotherapy


low K high Ca


tubular injury


medullary washout


What is congential NDI

rare


deficiency of ADH receptors

Why dose dietary sodium restriction help with NDI?

reduces the amount of solute presented to the kidney that must be excreted therefore, decreasing water loss.
