HISTOPATH Flashcards
softer and paler due to DYSTROPHIC CALCIFICATION
Calcium Phosphate Stones
Gross:
Pus and little microabscesses in the kidney; hyperemia and yellowish discoloration
Acute pyelonephritis
Thin-walled cystic structure; 15-20 cm diameter. Loss of pyramids. Thin cortex.
Far-advanced cases of obstruction; irreversible
VHL is a 1) and encodes protein for 2) complex which normally degrades and controls growth factors such as Hypoxia Inducing Factors (HIF-1)
1) tumor suppressor gene
2) ubiquitin ligase
Macrophage accumulation in cortex
Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis:
Histology:
•
placenta-like;
malignant 1) (well-demarcated cell borders,are not multinucleated and have smaller nuclei) and malignant 2) (mutlinucleated large cells)
1) cytotrophoblasts;
2) synctiotrophoblasts;
Choriocarcinoma
1) and 2) can NOT cause obstruction;
3) can as they are sloughed off and this obstruction would NOT be seen on X-ray
All three are complication of pyelonephritis
1) Perinephric abscess
2) pyonephrosis
3) papillary necrosis
Risk of SPONTANEOUS HEMORRHAGE
Angiomyolipoma
Grossly: yellow tumor w/ gelatinous center.
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
Outlines of tubules WITHOUT nuclei
Necrosis
Histology: clear cytoplasm in cells, arranged in nests.
Clear Cell Carcinoma:
Histology:
Atypical pleomorphic cells that surround a fibrovascular core
Papillary Carcinomas In-Situ:
A Cauliflower-like lesion on a freely movable stalk
Papillar transitional carcinoma; not invasive
Renal Oncoytoma–> Large eosinophilic cells;
Abundant 1) w/o 2)
(compare to Chromophobe RCC)
1) mitochondria
2) perinuclear clearing
Chromophobe has halo around nuclei;
Polysaccharide capsule => 70 serotypes
•
Interferes with COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION
Klebsiella
Sclerosis in FSGS: EC collagen deposition in the 1) and 2)
mesangium and capillary loops
Mutation in 1) –>↑HIF-1 (transcription factor) which promotes cell growth (↑PDGF) and angiogenesis (↑VEGF).
VHL
Cystinuria decreased reabsorption of cystine and other dibasic amino acids (?)
lysine, ornithine, and arginine
Glomeruloid-like structures with BV in the center and epithelial cells around it.
Schiller Duval Bodies; seen in yolk sac tumor
Dominant-negative inactivating mutation of WT1 gene
Denys-Drash Syndrome:
Wilms tumor Histology:
•
Triphasic combination of 1) + 2) + 3).
1) dense blue cells (blastema);
2) stroma 3) epithelial cell types (abortive tubules or glomeruli)
Papillary necrosis seen in 1) is which type of necrosis:
diabetics; coagulative;
Polyomavirus
H&E–>1)
EM–>2) .
nuclear enlargement and intranuclear inclusions;
2) cystalline-like lattices on EM
Milk-alkali syndrome–>those who take lots of antacids and drink milk
Hypercalcemia (and thus METASTATIC) leading to nephrocalcinosis
