28
Q

Potter sequence (syndrome) - pulmonary hypoplasia - mechanism

A

compression of chest and LACK of aspiration of amniotic fluid into fetal lung

29
Q

The fetal urine and lungs

A

The fetal urine is critical to the proper development of the lungs by aiding in the expansion of the airways - alveoli

30
Q

Potter sequence (syndrome) - cause of death

A

pulmonary hypoplasia

31
Q

causes of Potter sequence (syndrome)

A
  1. ARPKD
  2. obstructive uropathy (posterior urethral valves)
  3. bilateral renal agenesis
  4. chronic placental insuficiency
32
Q

Potter sequence (syndrome) - mnemonic

A
POTTER 
Pulmonary hypoplasia
Oligohydramnios (trigger)
Twisted face 
Twisted skin
Extremitiy defects 
Renal failure (in utero)
33
Q

MC congenital renal abnormality

A

Horseshoe kidney

34
Q

Horseshoe kidney - defnition

A

interior poles of both kidneys fuse abnormally

35
Q

Horseshoe kidney - function?

A

normally

36
Q

Horseshoe kidney - location

A

As they ascend from pelvis during fetal development, horseshoe kidneys get trapped under inferior mesenteric artery and remain low in the abdomen

37
Q

Horseshoe kidney is associated with

A
  1. hydronephrosis (eg. ureteropelvic junction)
  2. renal stones
  3. infection
  4. chromosomal aneuploidy syndromes (Turner syndrome, trisomies 13, 18, 21)
  5. renal cancer (rarely)
38
Q

Unilateral renal agenesis - mechanism and defintion

A

ureteric bud fails to develop and induce differentation of metanephric mesenchyme –> COMPLETE ABSENCE OF KIDNEY AND URETER

39
Q

Unilateral renal agenesis - definition

A

complete absence of kidney and ureter

40
Q

Unilateral renal agenesis - diagnosis

A

often perinatally via ultrasound

41
Q

Multicystic dysplstic kidney - mechanism and defintion

A

Ureteric bud fails to induce differentiation of metanephric mesenchyme –> nonfuctonal kidney consisting of cysts and connective tissue

42
Q

Multicystic dysplstic kidney - definiton

A

nonfuctonal kidney consisting of cysts and connective tissue

43
Q

Multicystic dysplstic kidney - diagnosis

A

often perinatally via ultrasound

44
Q

Duplex collecting system - mechanism/defintion

A
  • Bifurcation of ureteric bud before it enters the metanephric blastema creates a Y-shaped bifid ureter.
  • Duplex collecting system can alternatively occur through two ureteric buds reaching and interacting with metanephric blastema
45
Q

Duplex collecting system - is strongly associated with

A
  1. vesicoulateral refelx
  2. ureteral obstruction
  3. high risk of UTIs
46
Q

Congenital solitary functional kidney - defintion/mechanism

A

Condition of being born with only one functional kidney

47
Q

Congenital solitary functional kidney - clinical presentation

A

Majority asymptomatic with compensatory hypertrophy of contralateral kidney, but anomalies in contralateral kidney are common –> increased risk of rena failure later in life

48
Q

which kidney is taken during donor transplantation (and why)

A

Left kidney is taken during donor transplantation because it has a longer renal vein (implantation advantage)

49
Q

kdiney - shape

A

bean shaped organ

50
Q

Renal blood flow

A

renal artery –> segmental artery –> interlobar artery –> arcuate artery –> interlobular artery –> afferent arteriole –> glomerulus –> efferent arteriole –> vasa recta/peritubular capillaries –> venous outflow

51
Q

peritubular capillaries are

A

tiny blood vessels that travel alongside nephrons allowing reabsorption and secretion between blood and the inner lumen of the nephron

52
Q

Arcuate arteries of the kidney - location

A

border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.

53
Q

glomerulus structure - inner of vessel lumen (to collecting system)

A

endothelial cells –> basement membrane –> podocytes (visceral layer) –> Bowman space –> Parietal layer of Bowman capsule

54
Q

glomerulus structure - outer of vessel lumen (away from the collecting system)

A
  • Juxtraglomerular cells (next to afferent arteriole)–> Macula densa –> distal convoluted tubule
  • mesangial cells
55
Q

Components of glomerular filtration barrier (only the components)

A
  1. Endothelial cells
  2. Basement membrane
  3. Podocytes (visceral layer)
56
Q

Bowman capsule - layers (and location)

A
  1. Podocytes (visceral layer) –> to vessel lumen

2. Parietal layer of Bowman capsule –> away from the vessel lumen

57
Q

mesangial cells function

A
  1. remove trapped residues and aggregated protein from the basement membrane thus (filter free of debris)
  2. The contractile properties of mesangial cells have been shown to be insignificant in changing the filtration pressure of the glomerulus
58
Q

ureters: coarse

A

RETROPERIOTENEAL
the ureters pass UNDER uterine artery (women) or UNDER vas deferens on the way to the urinary bladder at the ureteral orifice
mneomoni: Water (ureters) under the bridge (uterine artery, vas deferens

59
Q

ureters: coarse –> mneominic: Water under the bridge - water? bridge?

A

water –> ureters

bridge –> uterine artery, vas deferens

60
Q

Gyeclogic procedures - uteres course –> clinical significance

A

Gynecologic procedures (eg. ligation of uterine or ovarian vessels) may damage ureter (ureters pass UNDER uterine artery) –> ureteral obstruction or leak
