Q

3 Steps for Urine formation in the nephrons

A

1) Filtration at glomerulus

Q

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) aka Vasopressin

A

Hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in response to changes in osmolality of the blood.

*decreased water intake causes ADH to tell the kidneys to increase reabsorption of water to return osmolality back to normal.
* increase water intake suppresses AHD so less water can be absorbed and you urinate.

Q

Renal clearance

A

the ability of the kidneys to clear solutes from the plasma.
* 24 hour urine collection is the test is used. It evaluates how well the kidney perform its excretory function

19
Q

Creatine
Normal Range: 0.7-1.3

A

a waste product of skeletal muscle that is filtered at the glomerulus and excreted through urine.
* used to measure GFR
* 24 hour urine is collected. Midway through the collection, the serum creatine level is measured.

20
Q

Erythropoietin

A

glycoprotein from the kidney that stimulates the bone marrow to produce RBCs, which carry oxygen throughout the body

  • it is released when the kidneys detect a decrease in oxygen in renal blood flow.
21
Q

Functions of the Kidney

A

-Control of blood pressure
-Control of water balance
-Excretion of waste products
-Regulation of electrolytes
-Regulation of acid–base balance
-Regulation of red blood cell production
-Renal clearance
-Secretion of prostaglandins
-Synthesis of vitamin D to active form
-Urine formation

22
Q

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

A

kidney damage or a decrease in GFR lasting for 3 months or more.

*Final stage is end stage renal disease (ESRD)

23
Q

Nephrosclerosis
(hardening of the renal arteries)

A

Two Types: Acute hypertensive and benign

Patho: Damage is caused by decreased blood flow to the kidney resulting in patchy necrosis of the renal parenchyma. Over time, fibrosis occurs and glomeruli are destroyed

Risk Factors: Prolonged hypertension, diabetes, aging, higher in African Americans

Medical management: antihypertensive therapy, ACE inhibitors

Labs: elevated BUN and creatine. Mild proteinuria

24
Q

Primary Glomerular Diseases

A

Two Categories: Glomerulonephritis and glomerulosclerosis

Primary: in the kidney’s glomeruli
Secondary: glomerular disease due to systemic diseases, like diabetes or lupus.

25
Q

Acute Nephritic Syndrome
* a type of glomerulonephritis

A

hematuria due to glomerular bleeding is seen as well as pus and cellular and granular casts in the urine.

Usually from post infection. Medications or antigen get deposited in the glomerli, increse the number of epithelial cells lining the glomerulus, causing leukocytes to infiltrate, to thickening and scarring, to lastly a decresed GFR.

Clinical Manfestations: hematuria, edema, azotemia (an abnormal concentration of nitrogenous wastes in the blood), and proteinuria. Edema and Hypertension

26
Q

Nephrotic Syndrome

A

increased glomerular permeability and is manifested by massive PROTIENURIA

Clinical Manifest: EDEMA. puffy eyelids and swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, lower abdomen, or other parts of your body. White foamy urine with WBC in it.

Medical Manage: Treat the underlying disease causing proteinuria. Diuretics (edema), ACE inhibitors (reduce protien uria), lipid reducing agents, and sodium restriction

27
Q

Polycystic Kidney Disease (Peds)
*cysts in the kidneys, which destroy the nephrons

A
  • Genetic Disease
  • no cure
  • Tolvaptan slows the decrease in kidney function
28
Q

Huntington Disease

A
  • A chronic progressive hereditary disease that results in choreiform movement and dementia
  • Transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait
  • Pathology involves premature death of cells in the striatum of the basal ganglia (control of movement) and the cortex (thinking, memory, perception, judgment)
29
Q

Parkinson’s Disease

A

*Slow, progressive neurologic movement disorder associated with decreased levels of dopamine

Manifestations:
- Cardinal: tremor (Pill-rolling tremor), rigidity, bradykinesia/akinesia, postural instability
- Autonomic: sweating, drooling, flushing, orthostatic hypotension, gastric and urinary retention
- Dysphagia
- Psychiatric changes: depression, anxiety, dementia, delirium, hallucinations

Treatment: control symptoms and maintain functional independence.
- LEVADOPA, Stereotactic Procedures; thalamotomy, pallidotomy
- Neural Transplant has ongoing research.

30
Q

Pyelonephritis

A

Bacterial infection of the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys.

31
Q

Urinary Incontinence

A

unplanned, involuntary, or uncontrolled loss of urine from the bladder.

32
Q

cystitis

A

inflammation of the bladder

32
Q

prostatitis

A

inflammation of the prostate gland

32
Q

urethritis

A

inflammation of the urethra

33
Q

Ureterovesical or Vesicoureteral Reflux

A

refers to the backward flow of urine form the bladder into one or both ureters.
- the urine backflow can bring bacteria from the ureters, which can cause a UTI. If bacteria gets to the kidney’s it can cause damage

33
Q

Signs and symptoms if UTI

A
  • burning
  • increased frequency
  • nocturia
  • incontinence
  • suprapubic or pelvic pain
  • sepsis. urosepsis (spread of infection from the urinary tract to the bloodstream)
  • shock
33
Q

Neurogenic Bladder

A

dysfunctional bladder

34
Q

6 types of urinary incontinence

A
  • Stress incontinence
  • Urge incontinence
  • Functional incontinence (physical or cognitive impairment)
  • Iatrogenic incontinence (medical, factors like medications)
  • Mixed incontinence (multiple reasons)
  • overflow incontinence
35
Q

Neurogenic Bladder

A

dysfunction that results from a disorder or dysfunction of the nervous system. this leads to incontinence.

Two Types: SPASTIC (loss of conscious sensation and cerebral motor control) and FLACCID (bladder muscles do not contract and overflows)

36
Q

Nephrotic Syndrome

A

Scarring but it has a lot of inflammation and protein in the urine compared to

37
Q

4 triggers of nephrotic syndrome

A
  • smoking
  • stress
  • sickness or sepsis
  • sun
38
Q

Glomerulonephritis

A

inflammation of the kidney.
causes STREP

39
Q

4 no’s of polynephritis

A
  • no douching
  • no spermicidal contraceptive
  • no bubble baths
  • no wiping back to front
40
Q

After shock wave lithotripsy to remove kidney stones what two findings are not normal

A

fever and chills.
