Renal-CV-Resp 1 Flashcards
Scarring at UPPER & LOWER poles. blunted calyces
Chronic Pyelonephritis
COPD vs. restrictive
FEV1/FVC is decreased in COPD
Picture of pulmonary test after treatment with X after 5 /12 hours what is released to cause improvement?
Epinepherine
Linear deposits in glomeruli / goodpastures, what ELSE does the patient have?
Pulmonary hemorrhage
What happens to the S1 sound in left branch block?
Disappears in LBBB with paradoxical splitting. Widens split on RBBB.
An old lady is on a diuretic, losing her K+, we put her on a drug that does what?
Drug which inhibits Na+ reabsorption in late distal and collecting tubules.
FA528/548
An asthmatic old lady had controlled her asthma with an anti-asthmatic drug for 10 years when she fell and broke her hip. What drug was she taking that made her bones weak?
Prednisone (causes muscular breakdown AND osteoporosis) FA332
Guy on NSAIDs. therefore got ulcer and bleeding. on omeprazole for acid. now has kidney failure. Muddy brown casts is due to?
Acute Tubular Necrosis
FA543
Where does the most mucus come from / where does the mucus production happen?
Terminal bronchi?
FA600
HIV patient – nothing on x-ray.
Pulmonary hypertension
FA608
Silver stain?
PCP - Pneumocystis pneumonia
Guy running in the cold, he has dyspnea and chest tightness after his run. What will we auscultate?
Widely spaced wheezing
Why is NO better than nitroprusside?
Nitropruss causes decreased hemoglobin available for 02 binding.
FA298
Homeless guy with filamentous bacteria, yellow granules in sputum?
Actinomyces israelii.
Old lady on thiazide, sudden hypertension, which artery to auscultate?
Renal artery (yes because the suspicion is renal artery stenosis with increased renin release due to JG cells detecting very low perfusion pressure and macula densa cells detecting low salt delivery to the DCT due to the decreased GFR)
Pt on digoxin should NOT be treated with?
Any drug that causes hypokalemia (e.g. thiazides, loops: if specific drugs furosemide, ethacynic acid, hydrochlorothiazide, indapamine) FA301 hypokalemia (permissive for digoxin binding at K+-binding site on Na+/K+ ATPase), verapamil, amiodarone, quinidine ( digoxin clearance; displaces digoxin from tissue-binding sites)
Patient has metabolic acidosis and hypokalemia. Which drug caused it?
Acetazolamide (If HYPERkalemia, it’d be K+ sparing) (Acetazolamide will cause aldosterone release to send K+ out causing the hypokalemia) FA533,547,528 HARDASS
Patient in renal failure has hypocalcemia, what best explains this fact?
Hyperphosphatemia. (due to decreased phosphate excretion from failing kidneys, and excess phosphate binds to serum calcium and decreases free Ca+ in the blood)
COPD, What happens:
pH ↓, PCO2 ↑, and bicarb approx 30 (renal compensation is a slight increase in bicarb) FA533
5 days of Diarrhea will cause:
non-anion gap metabolic acidosis with partial respiratory compensation (NAG = HARDASS, this is the D)
Kid with poorly controlled diabetes, what will his acid-base status be?
DKA = anion gap metabolic acidosis with increased H+ excretion in the urine to compensate (or was it increase bicarb reabsorption)
What happens to the heart with normal aging
Calcification of aortic valve
Peaked t wave is due to?
Hyperkalemia
Old dude vs. young bro, old guy has serum creatinine of 2.5, young guy serum creatinine of 1, all other values were the same. What is the old guys GFR in relation to the young guys GFR?
40%
Old 80 y/o dude vs 20 y/o bro, neither one smokes, same CO. what accounted for the increased pulse pressure in older guy?
decreased arterial compliance
(Mean arterial pressure CO = SV x HR —- UP SV ~ UP Contractility / Down After load / UP Pre load)
An 80 year old man will have a higher pulse pressure than a 50 year old man even if their stroke volume is the same and their diastolic pressures are the same because the 80-year-old man has decreased arterial compliance, so with every systolic ejection, the systolic arterial blood pressure will be higher in the 80-year-old man than in the 50-year-old (since decreased compliance means increased pressure for a given change in volume)
Old guy and young guy, what’s the difference in lung function?
Decreased FVC (due to loss of elasticity)
Unvaccinated 3-year-old kid w/ paroxysmal cough (i.e. whooping cough) and vomiting:
Bordetella Pertussis
Guy for pre basketball checkup. Has long spider fingers, super tall, arachnodactyly. (Marfan) leads to what?
Aortic root dilation
FA287
Gross pic of kidney w/ cyst, described as a solid/hard/palpable cyst.
Renal cell carcinoma
FA540
Solid cyst in bronchus-hamartoma, regular lung epithelium covers the cyst - hard and calcified. what is it?
Bronchial hamartoma
Right atrium mass (moves/blocks with valve)
Myxoma (may cause syncope)
FA294
“Irregularly irregular”
Atrial fibrilation
EKG with saw-tooth:
Atrial flutter w/ 4:1 block
Big picture with many leads - look at lead II to figure out it. Large ventricular tracings:
Ventricular tachycardia
African american female, uveitis, hilar lymphadenopathy, sjogren-like sx (e.g. feels like there’s dirt in the eye and can’t chew a cracker, has granuloma. What does she have:
Sarcoidosis. what will we see? non caseating granulomas (pathoma pg 92)
Wife never smoked, husband had lung cancer, wife gets cancer. The x-ray was negative. When the women passed away, gross inspection of the lung showed a peripheral neoplasm that was encasing the lung.
Mesothelioma
Shipworker:
Asbestosis
IgA, kid pharyngitis, purpura on arms and back of legs:
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (pathoma p 67) FA297

Where is SA node conduction?
On junction of superior vena cava and R atrium
Which drug caused pulmonary fibrosis/thickening symptoms?
Amiodarone FA303
17 yr old playing ball, gets dyspnea, what’s the underlying condition?
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD would be holosystolic murmur, ASD makes diastolic murmur) . small vsd defects sometimes asymptomatic.pathoma pg 77 FA283
Healthy athlete becoming dyspneic while playing a sport and there was a systolic crescendo murmur heard in the aortic area.
Thickening of the interventricular septum (pathoma pg 83)
Question where they showed a picture of a crescendo decrescendo murmur (radiating to the neck?)
