Quiz 2 Flashcards
Where is Tamm-Horstfall protein made?
Thick ascending limb
Role of virulence determinants
- fimbriae
- flagellum
- siderophore
- cytotoxic necrotizing factor I
- hemolysin
- Lipopolysaccharide
- fimbriae -> bind to bladder epithelial cell receptors via glycosphinolipid ix
- flagellum -> movement
- siderophore -> assist in acquiring iron
- cytotoxic necrotizing factor I -> tissue damage
- hemolysin -> tissue damage
- Lipopolysaccharide -> antiphagocytic
List the inhibitors of bacterial adherence
– Tamm-Horstfall protein – Mucopolysaccharide – Oligosaccharides – sIgA – Lactoferrin
Dx for cystitis
Pyuria
- > 5 WBCs per HPF
- leukocyte esterase positive
- nitrite positive - not all
- gm + NOT nitrite positive - urine culture
Sxs used to distinguish cystitis from pyelonephritis
Fevers, chills, flank pain
Only oral antibiotic approved for tx of pyelonephritis?
Fluoroquinolones
How to distinguish b/w relapse and reinfection recurrent infections?
– Relapse
• Same organism-may mean uneradicated focus
• Symptoms return < 2 weeks; one has to consider antibiotic resistant organism
– Reinfection
• Same organism but > 2 weeks after last infection
• Most recurrences are reinfection
• Original risk factors still exist
Young men getting UTIs think?
– Strictures
– Neurogenic bladder
– Incomplete voiding for any reason
– Vesicoureteral reflux
Old man w/ UTI?
prostatic hypertrophy
Sexually active male w/ prostatitis -> evaluate for?
Neisseria gonorrohoeae and Chlamydia trachamotis
Chronic prostatitis
- time frame
- organism
- presentation
- tx
• Infection persisting for > 3 months
• E. coli is the most common, but also Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, and Klebsiella
• Enterococcus is in fact the second most commonly isolated organism
• Often present with recurrent UTI symptoms
• Or perineal or back pain
-tender boggy prostate
TX w/ fluoroquinolones
Define primary vs 2ndary TIN
Primary
-glomeruli and vasculature normal
2ndary
-consequence of primary changes in glomeruli or vasculature
Out of the 3, which one correlates best w/ renal fx?
- Tubulointerstitial changes
- glomerular changes
- vascular changes
TI changes
Hallmark of analgesic nephropathy is
Papillary necrosis
Acute TIN + MCGN is the classic lesion associated with?
ARF due to NSAIDs
What effect does NSAID use have in patients w/ CRF or hemodynamic instability
Dec GFR: prerenal azotemia -> dec prostaglandins -> dec RBF/GFR
Mech for hyperkalemia with NSAID use
Hyponatremia?
Hyperkalemia: dec in PGE -> dec in renin -> inc in K
Hyponatremia: removal of inhibitory effect of PGE on ADH
Mech for Na retention with TIN due to NSAIDs
dec RBF and GFR
-if HTN -> gets worse
Where in the kidney does lithium accumulate?
Mechanism of toxicity
Accumulates in collecting duct
Enters cells via ENaC
Down regulates APQ-2: dec regulation of cAMP -> Nephrogenic DI (can tx w/ HCTZ)
Dec activity of H+-ATPase pump -> RTA
3 major renal conditions due to lithium
-also describe recovery from each
RTA -> resolves if d/c’d
Nephrogenic DI -> resolves if d/c’d EARLY
Chronic TIN -> may continue to progress even w/ d/c
-creeping Cr
Which type of RTA can cause nephrocalcinosis?
Distal RTA - problem w/ maintaining proton gradient
- needed to excrete proton and reabsorb bicarb
- also get hypokalemia
NOT proximal RTA
Define nephrocalcinosis
- where does it occur?
- associated w/ conditions causing?
Calcium deposition (commonly oxalate) in renal parenchyma -mostly in medulla
Associated w/ conditions causing:
- hypercalcemia
- hypercalciuria
- hyperphosphaturia
- hyperoxalosis
Causes of nephrocalcinosis (6)
Distal RTA Primary HyperPTH Milk Alkali syndrome -> Calcium carbonate -CKD and on Ca supplements Sarcoidosis Vit D intoxication Vit C abuse -> contains oxalate
Renal effects of hypercalcemia
MUST KNOW SLIDE
- DI – down regulation of AQP-2 ARF
- Pre-renal
- Dehydration & renal vasoconstriction - TIN/Nephrocalcinosis – if sustained
- Nephrolithiasis – if sustained
- Hypertension (vasoconstriction)
