25
Stage of CRF w/ normal kidney function (GFR \>90 ml/min); HTN
stage 1 CRF
26
systemic manifestations seen due to urea accumulation because of renal dysfunction
uremic syndrome/uremia
27
What lab work will be seen w/ glomerular disease?
- decreased GFR - increased plasma creatinine and urea - reduced creatinine clearance
28
Treatment of kidney stone
- high fluid intake - decreased dietary intake of stone-forming substances - stone removal
29
persistent or recurring episodes of acute pyelonephritis that leads to scarring
chronic pyelonephritis
30
Stage of CRF w/ mild kidney damage (GFR 60-89 ml/min); possible elevation of BUN and creatinine and HTN
stage 2 CRF
31
most common metastasis sites of RCC
- lung - liver - bone - thyroid - CNS
32
inflammation of the glomeruli
glomerulonephritis
33
occurs with urinary tract obstructions that affect the kidneys bilaterally
post renal acute kidney injury/failure
34
Stage of CRF w/ moderate kidney damage (GFR 30-59 ml/min); mild w/ HTN
Stage 3 CRF
35
clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome
- hypoalbuminemia -\> edema - hyperlipidemia and lipiduria (low albumin stimulates lipoprotein synthesis by liver) - vitamin D deficiency (decreased D activation by kidneys) - proteinuria - microscopic hematuria and RBC casts
36
3 causes of urinary tract obstruction
- stones (calculi) - stricture (narrowing of structures) - tumor
37
ESRF w/ GFR \< 15 ml/min
Stage 5 CRF
38
benign encapsulated tumors located near the cortex of the kidney
renal adenoma
39
symptoms of pyelonephritis
- fever/chills - flank or groin pain - other symptoms characteristic of a UTI
40
Stage of CRF w/ severe kidney damage (GFR 15-29 ml/min)
Stage 4 CRF
41
moderate to severe pain often originating in the flank and radiating to the groin
renal colic
42
symptoms of interstitial cystitis
- bladder fullness - urinary frequency - small urine volume - chronic pelvic pain - dyspareunia
43
mechanical forces on an over-distended bladder (ex. BPH or DM)
overflow incontinence
44
most common renal neoplasm
renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
45
glomerular damage causes what 2 things
- decreased glomerular membrane surface area - decreased glomerular capillary blood flow
46
continuous loss of urinary control; bladder is incapable of holding any urine; most severe type of incontinence
total incontinence
47
how long after obstruction does renal function begin to be affected?
about 7 days
48
kidneys can adapt until function decrease to what?
less than 25% of function
49
acute kidney failure can cause what kind of metabolic dysfunction
metabolic acidosis
50
organisms associated w/ acute pyelonephritis
- E. coli - Proteus - Pseudomonas
51
most common bladder malignancy
transitional cell carcinoma
52
acute infection of the renal pelvis and interstitium; most common cause is vesicoureteral reflux
acute pyelonephritis
53
narrowing of the lumen of the urethra and occurs when infection, injury, or surgical manipulation produces scar tissue; more common in men
urethral stricture
54
symptoms are renal cancers
- usually no early symptoms - later sxs include gross, painless hematuria and dull, achy flank pain
55
sudden decline in kidney function w/ decrease in GFR and urine output and accumulation of nitrogenous waste produces in blood (elevated BUN and creatinine)
acute kidney failure/acute kidney injury
56
most common types of urinary calculi
- calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate - struvite - uric acid
57
Explain how glomerular disorders can lead to edema
increased glomerular capillary permeability -\> passage of plasma proteins into urine -\> hypoalbuminemia -\> decreased vessel oncotic pressure and fluid moves into interstitial space -\> edema
58
most common cause of acute kidney injury/failure and caused by sudden and severe drop in renal blood flow
prerenal acute kidney injury/failure
59
What determines the severity of urinary tract obstruction
- location - involvement of upper urinary tract - completeness - duration - cause
60
urine output less than 50 ml/day
anuria
61
rare tumor that arises in the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis
renal transitional cell carcinoma (RTCC)
