Q

What happens to GFR, vasodilatory prostaglandins and angiontension II with the use of NSAIDs?

A

Low GFR, loss of vasodilatory prostaglandins increasing afferent resistance (vasoconstriction), increased angiotension II (vasoconstriction)

17
Q

What happens to GFR, vasodilatory prostaglandins and angiontension II with the use of ACE-I or ARB?

A

Low GFR, slightly increase vasodilatory prostaglandins (vasodilation) and decreased angiotension II (vasodilation)

18
Q

What are three major causes of intrinsic acute kidney injury (AKI)?

A

Sepsis, Ischemia, and nephrotoxins

19
Q

Which of the following is not a common key element of progressive nephropathies in CKD?
A. Increased filtration area
B. Increased glomerular capillary pressure
C. Proteinuria
D. Glomerulosclerosis

A

A. Increased filtration area

20
Q

Which of the following are key abnormalities that give rise to CKD-MBD?
A. Hypercalcemia
B. Impaired phosphate excretion
C. Decrease production of active Vit D
D. Decreased PTH production

A

B. Impaired phosphate excretion
C. Decrease production of active Vit D

21
Q

Which of the following is most important in CDK patients along with Vit D?
A. Sodium
B. Potassium
C. Calcium
D. Magnesium

A

C. Calcium

22
Q

What illness is due largely to the accumulation of organic waste products that are normally cleared by the kidneys?

A

Uremia

23
Q

Identify the following for nephrotic syndrome:
-Onset
-Edema
-BP/Venous pressure
-Proteinuria
-Hematuria
-RBC casts
-Serum albumin

Explain the etiology

A

-Onset: Insidious
-Edema: High (++++)
-BP/Venous pressure: normal
-Proteinuria: High (++++)
-Hematuria: variable
-RBC casts: absent
-Serum albumin: low

High proteinuria leads to lower serum albumin which increases edema

24
Q

Identify the following for nephritic syndrome:
-Onset
-Edema
-BP/Venous pressure
-Proteinuria
-Hematuria
-RBC casts
-Serum albumin

Explain the etiology

A

-Onset: abrupt
-Edema: slight raise (++)
-BP/Venous pressure: Raised
-Proteinuria: slight raise (++)
-Hematuria: Raised (+++)
-RBC casts: Present
-Serum albumin: Normal/slight reduce

Increased RBC casts leading to hematuria

25

A. Pyelonephritis
B. Glomerulonephritis
C. Nephrolithiasis
D. Interstitial Nephritis

B. Glomerulonephritis

26
Q

What condition presents inflammation of kidney tissue with causes from bacteria from blood or urinary tract?
A. Pyelonephritis
B. Glomerulonephritis
C. Nephrolithiasis
D. Interstitial Nephritis

A
