25 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

brush border cells

hair like structures that increase surface area in proximal convoluted area


help to reabsorb sodium, maintain pH, exchange bicarbonate


excretes organic acids

loop of henle

create concentration gradient so water leaves loop as it descends and sodium stays in


in ascending loop it is impermeable to water so reabsorbs ions but not water- uromodulin produced which bind to ecoli to protect against renal calculi- reabosrbs ions

distal convoluted tubule

regulates water and potassium and sodium and calcium


Aldosterone, PTH, ADH

glomerulus

afferent enters


stuff is filtered out to bowman's capsule or stays in blood


filtrate is water, sodium, chloride, potassium, bicaronate, glucose, creatinine, and urea

urine

contains mostly waste products


mostly water, sodium, potassium chloride, creatinine, urea,


should not containe glucose, proteins, blood, bacteria


could indicate disease

urinalysis

study of urine sample for major constituents


should be clear to yellow


can see reddish brown because of hemoglobin or drugs (antibiotics), or beets, porphyria can lead to this


white/ greenish- pyuria (puss), probifal medication


purple- purple urine syndrome from bacteria that create chemical that converts sulfate into indigo


leukocyte esterase- presence of white blood cells from lysis of wbc and macrophages. suggests infection


nitrite- produced from bacteria, from conversion of nitrate to nitrite for energy


protein- could indicate injury to glomerulus, preeclampsia, hypertension,


pH- wide range is normal, low pH for metabolic acidosis,


glucose- plasma glucose above 180 ml/dl (glycosuria)


white blood cells- infection


rbc- kidney stones, trauma, glomerular disease


bacteria- infection


crystals- uric acid crystals, gout, toxic ingestion of ethylene glycol (antifreeze),


floresine chemicals- ethylene glycol (antifreeze),

ADH

responsible for controlling final concentration, from posterior pituitary, increases water reabsorption

Aldosterone

synthesized by adrenal cortex, stimulates distal convoluted tubule to reabsorb sodium and therefore water

atrial natriuretic peptide

secreted from right atrium in response to increased pressure


inhibit renin to increase excretion of water


increases pressure in glomerular capillaries


stimulates distal convoluted tubule to decrease sodium reabsorption


increases aldosterone production

urodilatin

from distal convoluted tubules in response to increase mean arterial pressure



vitamin D

can be ingsted from tuna, eggs, samon, cheese, mushroom


calcium regulation


bone and muscle strenght


muscle reactivity




deficiency: osteomalacia, osteoporosis

erythropoietin

glycoprotein


controls formation of rbc


produced from fibroblast in kidneys


hypoxia stimulates this

types of UTI

lower UTI- cystitis (acute)


bladder infection




acute hemorrhagic cystitis




acute pyelonephritis- kidney infection




urosepsis- systemic response to UTI

acute cystitis

bladder infection


inflammation of bladder


fecal colonization of urethra


ecoli- 80-85%


staphrophidicus- 10-20%


fungal infections- candida albicans


viral is pretty uncommon




uropathogenic ecoli- specialized to infect urinary tract, invade umbrella cells- multinulceated and line the bladder, adhesive organelles attach to umbrella cells through fimbriae that adhere to the cells, have adhesins attached to fimbriae. Once in form IBC (intracellular bacterial communities) and cover with biofilm that protects them. once it reaches capacity, goes out to infect other tissue




toll like receptors and cd 14 bind to bacteria which leads to burst of cytokines which cause inflammation and signal for neutrophils to come to help kill bacteria. ROS are produced leading to exfoliation of bladder epithelium which can lead to blood in urine during infection

schistosomiasis

parrasite that can cause bladder infection


from bathing in water with the parasites

acute cystitis symptoms

sometimes asymptomatic, urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, suprapubic pain, hematuria




diagnosed through history, or urinary sample.

pyelonephritis

can be caused from kidney stone


reflux from bladder goest to kidneys


common during pregnancy


CVA tenderness, percus over angle and if pain is produced it can mean it

pyelonephritis treatment

need antibiotics through IV, pain medicine, percutaneous nephrostomy to remove stone

renal calculi

kidney stones, accumulation of stones made of crystals, proteins or other materials, located in kidney, ureter, nephrolithiasis


in bladder it is asymptomatic until in urethra


floride in water may lead to it


stones are formed from super saturation when there is more solute than can be held in the solution. more of a given solute becomes super saturation leading to crystals

chelaters

decrease rate of kidney stone formation


peptides that can surround and inactivate cations making it hard to get into stone


citrate is natural chelater

types of stones

calcium oxylate- supersaturation of urine with calcium from high levels of intake and low levels of secretion


struvite- ammonium magnesium phosphate, chemical caused by bacteria, use urease to split urea which alkalynizes urine forming struvite, stag horn calculi


uric acid crystals- purine- gout, meat, cheeses, alcohol, alkaline urine



signs and symptoms of kidney stones

flank pain, groin pain, waxing/ waning pain, urgency, frequency, dysuria, hematuria, nausea

glomerulonephritis

inflammation of glomerulus


primary- ischemia, ROS, toxins, vasculitis, infection


secondary- systemic, diabetes mellitus, lupus, HIV,




types: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis- genetic (6 genes- actin binding, cytoskeletal structure, APOL1- defense against african sleeping sickness), patchy sclerosis of glomerulus, hardening


s/s peripheral edema, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, protein urea. Kidney biopsy done for diagnosis


lasiks, Ace inhibitors, steroids




membranous glomerulonephritis- result of thickened basement membrane of glomerulus secondary to IGG. idiopathic, can be lupus, malaria, hep B, medications (ace inhibitor), mercury poisoning, tumors. Trigger complement 5b and c9 to form attack complex which targets glomerular cells.


s/s: edema, proteinuria, hypertension, renal failure


immunosuppression




post-infectious glomerulonephritis, after strep pyogenes infection, 10-14 days later. pharyngitis. type 3 hypersensitivity reaction producing antigen antibody complexes. Complement activated to destroy basement membrane


s/s the same


self resolving. supportive treatment

acute kidney disease

accumulation of waste products, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine.


pre renal azotemia- decrease in volume loss, vomitting, heat loss, sweating, marathon, hemmorhage


treatment: fluid replacement




acute tubular necrosis- injury to tubular system, IV contrast for CT scan, ischemia, antibiotics, myoglobin (muscle protein) can clog tubes, chronic hypertension, inflammation of blood vessels


elevation of BUN and creatinine, eosinophils in urine
