135
Q

When should the primary care pediatrician refer to a specialist for renal cases

A

-dilating VUR grades III-V, if obstructive uropathy present, when renal abnormalities identified, when kidney function impaired, if HTN, if bladder and bowel dysfunction refractory to primary care measures

136
Q

How do you calculate the urine anion gap

A

Sodium + potassium - chloride

137
Q

What does a negative urine anion gap indicate

A

Non renal cause for acidosis

138
Q

What do you look at if the urine pH is > 5.5

A

Urine anion gap; if negative -> extrarenal loss of base; if positive -> look at serum K -> if decreased, Type 1 RTA; if increased -> generalized tubular defect or ureteral obstruction

139
Q

A

Lithium, toluene, amphotericin

140
Q

What does RTA type I do to NH4 levels

A

Decreased in urine; causes urine pH >5.5

141
Q

What are ppl with RTA I prone to

A

Hypocitraturia and hypercalcuria -> nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and bone dz

142
Q

What makes RTA IV worse

A

Any drug that affects RAAS, increase potassium intake and potassium sparing diuretics

143
Q

How do you prove RTA IV

A

II

145
Q

What can cause RTA II

A

Carbonic anhydrase deficiency, fanconi, Wilson, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency lead, drugs

146
Q

What is a generalized tubular defect

A

Both H and K secretion are impaired; elevated serum K; urine pH >5.5 associated with interstitial kidney dz (SLE, sickle cell, obstructive uropathy)

147
Q

What is the urinary pH in someone with diarrhea

A

Increased; hypokalemia increases renal production of NH4

148
Q

What is chronic tubulointerstitial disease characterized by.

A

Isothenuria with polyuria, moderate proteinuria, Type I, II, or IV RTA; broad waxy casts, small kidneys
CAUSES: prostate obstruction, analgesics, VU reflux, lead, gout, myeloma

149
Q

where are the deposits found in MPGN I and II

A

I: subendothelial
II: intramembranous

150

A

MPGN: leukemia/lymphoma
Membraneous: solid

151
Q

What do cystine crystals look like

A

Hexagon shape

152
Q

What do tyrosine crystals look like

A

Spiny

153
Q

What are the complications of mucinous adenocarcinoma

A

Thrombotic

154
Q

In someone who has polycystic kidneys, what needs to be done in terms of tx for pyelonephritis

A

Prolonged abx

155
Q

A

Proteus

156
Q

Is irritative voiding usually a sign of cancer

A

No

157
Q

What is the MOA of damage in HTN nephropathy

A

RAAS and hyperfiltration leading to inflammation and fibrosis
