Renal Diseases Flashcards
(192 cards)
Describe the progression of lesions associated with ulcerative posthitis and associated clinical signs?
-begins as a small ulcer near mucocutaneous junction of prepuce as a loss red scab cover that is painful to palpation
–>spreads to internal mucosal prepucial surface– dysuria, vocalization while urinating
–>fibrous adhesions within the prepuce– stricture, impaired breeding soundness, weight loss in chronic cases
What are differentials for ulcerative posthitis and describe differentiating features
–ulcerative dermatosis– lip & leg ulcer of sheep, lesions bleed readily (ulcerative posthitis lesions usually do not)
–contagious ecthyma (ORF)– raised proliferative scab that is thick and durable on face, lip, udder
–Urolithiasis– ddx for any dysuric male sm rum
–preputial trauma
–Caprine herpesvirus-1 (CHV-1)– penile, vulva & vaginal lesions
–Ovine herpesvirus-2 (OHV-2)– ulcers tset pos for herpesvirus
What bacteria is most commonly implicated in ulcerative posthitis/vulvitis?
Corynebacterium renale
What are the virulence factors that allow C. renale to cause disease?
Contain enzyme urease
–>high protein diet–> INC ammonia production in Rumen–> converted urea in liver
–>proliferation of C. renale–> urease hydrolyzes urea back to ammonia– causes chemical irritation & ulceration to the prepuce
What are risk factors for the development of ulcerative posthitis?
-excessive protein diet ( usu. >16%)– alfalfa, lush legume, etc.
-Rams, pet weathers, club/show lambs
–wool & fiber production animals
- INC plane of nutrition in males prior to breeding
–breeds w/ dense wool/hair (merino sheep, angora goats)
Why are production losses seenw ith ulcerative posthitis?
pain
incapacitation of breeding
loss of breeding soundness
deformation of external genitalia
What antibiotics is C. renale sensitive to?
penicillin
amplicillin
cephalosporins
oxytetracycline
With antibiotic treatment of C. renale ulcerative posthitis/vulvitis,what other treatments/management changes need to be made
-dec protein& NPN intake (incorporate grass hay into feeding)
isolation of infected animals
fl y control
wool & hair removal from prepuce
topical antibiotic treatment (mastitis treatment tubes)
Describe the pathogenesis of Acute renal failure in horses caused by aminoglycosides:
-accumulate in proximal tubular epithelial cells (via urine–glomerulus)
–reaches toxic levels
—disrupts normal cell function
—-cell swelling & cell death
—– sloughing into tubular lumen, releasing lysosomal enzymes, intracellular Ca accumulation
Pigment nephropathy can occur with what diseases?
Rhabdomyolysis– myoglobin pigment
DIC/severe hemolysis/toxins (red maple leaf toxicosis)
Which form of vitamin K can cause renal damage
menadion sodium bisulfit– K3
How does vitamin K3 cause renal disease?
direct tubular damage d/t oxidative stress
and
pigment nephropathy d/t hemoglobinuria
NSAIDS cause kidney injury at what location?
medullary crest necorisis
Supplementation of what vitamin, or plants containing this vitamin can cause renal disease?
Vitamin D
List heavy metals that can cause renal disease:
mercury (also causes GI irritation)
cadmium
Zinc
Arsenic
Lead
What is the toxic principle of acorn toxicity?
tannin
Acorn toxicity manifests as what C/S/disease?
–erosive GI disease–> diarrhea, edema
–INC vascular permeability–> body cavity effusion
–uremia
SHOCK
List drugs (besides NSAIDs, aminoglycosides) that can cause renal disease
oxytetracycline
polymixin B
amphtericin B
imidocarb diproprionate (babesia equi tx)
ochratoxins
PA poisoning
Blister beetle/cantharidin toxicosis
What are risk factors for the development of vasomotor nephropathy?
hemorrhagic shock
severe IV volume deficit
septic shock
coagulopathy
adverse drug rxns
***Lesion is ATN
what is the pathogenesis of acute glomerulopathy (which is rare)?
arteriolar microgangiopathy– distends glomerular capillaries–> fibrin thrombi & proteinacious debris (BOwmans Capsule)
Which species/serovar of leptospira have been a cause of interstitial nephritis in horses?
L. interrogens serovar pomona
How to diagnose leptospira interrogens serovar pomona as a cuase of interstitial nephritis in horses?
urine PCR
–> furosemide and getting 2nd voided sample will increase sensitivity
OR
rising serum titer or baseline >1:6400
What is the risk of performing a renal biopsy?
life threatening hemorrhage
- INC complication risk– L Kidney bx (go through spleen), neoplasia, low USG
Why are newborn foals often proteinuric the first couple of days of life?
proteinuria (1-2 d) d/t absorption of small molecular weight proteins in colostrum
