Q

drug induced pathologies with kidney papilli

A

papilli are at the apex of the renal pyramids

cause necrosis and then they get blocked and urine can’t get out

Q

what are afferent and efferent arterioles sensitive to?

A

afferent: epinephrine
- constriction of afferent arteriole leads to decreased filtration (GFR decreases)
efferent: angiotensin-2
- constriction of efferent leads to increased pressure in glomerulus

Q

What is interesting about K excretion in distal tubule?

A

if hyperkalemia, nephron can regulate and can pump K from blood to urine in distal tubule

25
oxidative deamination | reductive amination
amino acid to alpha keto acid (removing N) | alpha keto acid to amino acid form (adding N)
26
what are ALT and AST enzymes dependent on?
vit B6
27
what do transamination reactions do?
removes amino group from amino acid, leaving behind it's alpha keto acid free amino group is transferred to a waiting alpha keto acid to form a new amino acid
28
urea cycle occurs where? | what does it do?
liver | gets rid of free CO2 and NH4
29
what happens if there is excess CO2 and NH4?
toxic encephalopathy
30
what part of urea cycle happens in mitochondria? | what part happens in the cytosol?
mitochondria: induction phase, ornithine is made with carbamoyl phosphate synthase, NH4 and CO2 and pumped out as citruline.
31
what enzyme hides CO2 and HH4 in mitochondria during urea cycle?
carbamoyl phosphate synthase phosphorylates N and C groups and puts them in a package that can encounter ornithine. ornithine decarboxylase dephospharylates N and C onto ornithine
32
What happens to citruline when it gets outside of mitochondria in the urea cycle?
goes through many transamination reactions until it forms arginine
33
what does arginine do when it is acted on by arginase?
urea is made with left over portion of NH4 and CO2
34
what is happening in cytosol portion of urea cycle?
citruline undergoes various transamination reactions to form urea and ornithine residue restarts the whole cycle
35
backdoor for N residues?
amino shuttle that doesn't use urea oxidative deamination takes off N group and it is shuttled out of kidney with glutamine and then it finds H ions in urine and you pee out ammonia
36
acute glomerulonephritis is caused by what?
strep derm, ortho joint, kidney/heart symptoms can happen after non-treated strep and this points towards post-strep glomerulonephritis
37
IgA nephropathy/Berger's
increased IgA in response to viruses, bacteria (GI and lungs) end up with hematuria, proteinuria, and chronic glomerulnephritis due to too much IgA
38
Henoch Schonlein Purpura
in children | respiratory illness prodrome, high IgA = sore joints, get leaky kidney, and get purpura
39
Goodpasture's
rapid GN with auto-antibodies to basement membrane | young men who smoke
40
nephrotic syndrome
proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, lipiduria foamy urine
41
pyelonephritis
infection in kidneys (renal pelvis) ascending fecal flora due to blockage (pregnancy, BPH) medical emergency
42
hydronephrosis
swollen ureter or renal pelvis due to obstruction (stone)
43
what type of stones show up on X-ray?
Ca oxalate
44
uric acid calculi is secondary to?
gout
45
cystitis vs interstitial cystitis?
cystitis due to local flora (e. coli) | interstitial cycstitis: autoimmune attack on inner lining of bladder (punctate hemorrhages)
46
adenocarinoma/hypernephroma
painless hematuria | cigarette smokers
47
Wilm's Tumor
common primary renal tumor in kids | large abdominal mass, painless hematuria
48
what do kidneys secrete?
EPO to increase RBC production in bone marrow
49
What do kindeys do?
``` filter blood secrete EPO volume regulation vit D activation gluconeogenesis in starving state ```
50
where are the kidneys located?
in retroperitoneal space - deep to 12th rib - r is lower due to liver
51
blood supply to kidney
aorta -> renal artery ->
52
what do kidneys secrete?
EPO to increase RBC production in bone marrow
53
What do kindeys do?
``` filter blood secrete EPO volume regulation vit D activation gluconeogenesis in starving state ```
54
where are the kidneys located?
in retroperitoneal space - deep to 12th rib - r is lower due to liver
55
blood supply to kidney
aorta -> renal artery -> segmental -> interlobar -> arcuate -> interlobar -> affarent -> efferent -> vasa recta -> renal vein goes into inferior vena cava
56
innervation of kidney
sympathetic via splenic n
57
what does kidney arise from?
mesoderm -> urogenital ridge -> ovaries and tests and nephrogenic cord -> holonephros -> pronephros, metanrphros, mesonephros
58
what do the pronephros, metanephros, and mesonephros turn into?
pronephros: regress mesonephros: wolfian duct -> bladder and vas deferens, seminal vessicles, ejaculatory duct, epididmis metanephros: from mesonephros: renal ureters, pelvis, calyces, collecting ducts
59
what forms the renal pelvis, calyces, collecting ducts?
metanephros via uretic bud
60
what gives rise to ovaries?
malarian duct via mesoderm and urogenital ridge
61
what gives rise to testes?
wolfian duct via mesonephros
62
what is blood glucose measure for diabetics?
over 160-200g/dL
63
what does collecting duct do?
ADH released from post pit to conserve water by increasing aquaporins H2O reabsorption to concentrate urine
64
What hormone is released in distal convoluted tubule?
PTH reabsorbs Ca from filtrate into blood
65
What hormone is released into proximal convoluted tubule?
PTH secretes phosphate into filtrate = secretion
66
capillary endothelium basement membrane slit diaphragm in basement membrane
- fenestrated so that only certain sizes can get through - charged heparin sulfate groups inhibit large molecules/proteins - podocyte feet last catch
