LM - diffuse capillary and basement membrane thickening

IF - granular

EM- spike and dome
Minimal change disease

lipiod nephrosis
Nephrotic

LM - normal glomeruli

EM - foot process effacement
focal segmental glomerular sclerosis
Nephrotic

LM - segmental sclerosis and hyalinosis
Diabetic nephropaty
Nephrotic

LM - Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodular lesions, basement membrane thickening, mesangial expansion, glomerular sclerosi

Calcium kidney stones
Radiopaque

oxalate crystals can result form antifreeze or vitamin C abuse

colorless octahedron/ envelope or dumbells
Ammonium magnesium phosphate
Struvite.

Radiopaque or radiolucent
worsend by alkauria (proteus, Staph, klebsiella)

Rectangular prisms - coffin-lid
Uric acid
Radiolucent

yellow- red/brown

rhombus/diamond
Cystine
2ndary to cystinuria

Radioopaque

flat, yellow, hexagons
Transitional renal cell carcinoma
most common tumor of urinary tract

Risks -
Phenacetin
Smoking
Aniline dyes
Cyclophophamide
Chronic pyelonephritis
Coarse, asymmetric corticomedullary scarring, blunted calyx

eosinophilic casts due thyroidization of kidney
Diffuse cortical necrosis
Acute generalized infarction of cortices of both kidneys

vasospasm and DIC

obstetric catastrophes, septic shock
Renal papillary necrosis
SEen with

Diabetes mellitus
Acute pyelonephritis
Chronic phenacetin use (acetominophen)
Sickle cell anemia
Fanconi's syndrome
Defect in proximal tubule transport of amino acids, glucose, phosphate, uric acid protein and electrolytes

Complications include rickets, osteomalacia, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis
Dialysis cysts
cortical and medullary cysts resulting form long-standing dialysis
Medullary cystic disease
Medullary cysts.

Small kidneys on ultrasound

poor prognosis

simple cysts are only in the cortex and are benign
MEdullary sponge disease
collecting duct cysts

good prognosis

no cysts in cortex, medulla only

sometimes stones seen on uti
Hyponatremia
disorientation, stupor coma
Hypernatremia
Neurologic - irritability, delirium, coma
Hypochloremia
Secondary to metabolic alkalosis.

Hypokalemia, hypovolemia, inc aldo
Hypercholermia
secondary to non-anion gap acidosis
Hypokalemia
U waves on ECG
flattened T waves
arrhythmias
paralysis
Hyperkalemia
Peaked T waves
wide QRS
arrhythmias
Hypocalcemia
Tetany
Neuromuscular irritability
Hypercalcemia
Delirium
Renal stones
Abd pain
Mannitol
Osmotic diuretic
Increases tubular fluid somolarity, producing inc urine flow

Used in shock, drug overdose, dec intracranial/intraocular pressure

Toxicitiy
pulmonary edema, dehydration
Contraindicated in anuria, CHF
Acetazolamide
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
Causes self-limited NaHCO3 diuresis and reduction in total body HCO3 stores

USed in glaucoma, urinary alkalinization, metabolic alkalosis, altitude sickness

Toxicities
Hyperchloremic metabolic acidsois
Neuropathy
NH3 toxicity, sulfa allergy
Furosemide
Sulfonamide loop diuretic. Inhibits cotransport Na,K, 2Cl systsem of thick ascending loop of Henle

Abolishes hypertonicity of medulla, preventing urine concentration.

Toxicities
Ototoxicity, Hypokalemia, Dehydration, Allergy (sulfa), Nephritis (interstitial), gout

OH DANG
Ethacrynic acid
Phynoxyacetic acid derivative
Works the same way as furosemide, but not a sulfa

Can be used in gout, unlike furosemide
Hydrochlorothiazide
Thiazide diuretic
Inhibits NaCl reabsorption in ealry distal tubule, reducing diluting capacity of the nephron.
Dec Calcium excretion

Used for HTN, CHF, idiopathic hypercalciuria, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

Toxicity
Hypokalemic metabolick alkalosis, hypnatremia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperurcemia,

Sulfa
K sparing diuretics
Spironolactone, Triamterene, Amiloride, eplerenone

Spironolactone is a competitive aldosterone receptor antagonist in the cortical collecting tubule

Triamterene and amiloride act at the same part of the tubule by blocking Na channels in CCT

Used for hyperaldosteronism, K depletion, CHF

Toxicity - hyperkalemia
spironolactone - gynecomastia, antiandrogens
