(115 cards)
pronephros develops in which week?
week 4
mesonephros contributes to which adult structure?
male genital system
metanephros appears in which week?
week 5
uteric bud gives which adult structures?
ureter, pelvises, calyces, collecting ducts
interaction between uteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme leads to what?
differentiation and formation of glomerulus through DCT
most common site of obstruction in kidney
uteteropelvic junction - bc last to canalize - seen as hydronephrosis
A neonate has just been born and looks abnormal at birth. He has low set ears and flattened nose. His GFR is very low. What is the possible Dx, and symptoms associated with it
- P ulmonary Hypoplasia (MC cause of death)
- O ligohydramnios
- T wisted face
- T wisted skin
- E xtremity defects
- R enal Failure
What causes Potter sequence in utero?
Oligohydramnios due to inability of fetus to urinate or because of placental insufficiency
ARPKD
Obstructive uropathy
bilateral renal agenesis
A 1 year old boy comes in with severe abdominal pain, and has had a prolonged Hx of malabsorption. The physician diagnoses ischemia of the bowels. He is also irritated that the OB/GYN missed something on the fetal ultrasound. The CT scan shows a drastic abnormality leading to an obstruction in the abdomen. What is the Dx?
Horseshoes kidney leading to IMA impingement leading to ischemia of the bowels
Horseshoe kidney seen which which genetic issues?
turners, trisomies
Compare and contrast Multicystic dysplastic kidneys and Duplex collecting System?
MCKD and DCS both have abnormal interactions of the ureteric bud leading to congenital rnal pathologies.
MCKD: abnormal intrxn b/w ureteric bud and mesenchyme. Predominantly nonhereditary and usually unilateral; bilateral leads to Potter sequence.
DCS: abnormal movement of ureteric bud to metenephric blastemia creating bifid ureter –> causes increased risk of obstruction and UTIs
What leads to unilateral renal agenesis?
Ureteric bud fails to develop and induce differentiation of metanephric mesenchyme –> complete absence of kidney and ureter.
most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in male infants? sx?
posterior urethral valves; hydronephrosis and dilated/thick walled bladder on US
Left renal vein rec which two addtl v?
L suprarenal and L gonadal v
Which area of kidney is more susceptible to hypoxia, and ischemic damage?
renal medulla, it rec much less blood flow.
`Which kidney is preferred in living donor transplantation?
Left kidney, bc L renal v is longer.
A 30 year old labor induced female is going through a C section for her twins. After successfully giving birth, excessive bleeding is observed and the OB/GYN does a hysterectomy. What is a key finding she has to worry about when doing the procedure in order to avoid complications?
Water under the bridge - ureters pass under uterine artery/vas deferens. Ligation of the uterine artery (cardinal ligament) and not confuse it with the ureter.
What prevents urine reflux?
Muscle fibers within the intramural part of the ureter prevent urine reflux.
3 common points of ureteral obstruction?
ureteropelvic junction, pelvic inlet, ureterovesical junction
Blood supply to ureters?
Blood supply to ureter:
Proximal—renal arteries
Middle—gonadal artery, aorta, common and internal iliac arteries
Distal—internal iliac and superior vesical arteries
Why is albumin not filtered thru BM ?
it’s 3.6 nm, so could technically go through but does not bc of (-) ions on endoth/GBM cells
Kidney anatomy and pathologies that affect this area
- Small renal a
- Glomeruli
- renal papilla
- calices and ureters
- Bladder
- Small renal a - HTN/DB nephropathy
- Glomeruli - acute interstitial nephritis
- Renal papilla - Sickle cell, T2DB, analgesic nephropathy, sever acute pyelonephritis
- Calices ureters - acute renal colic (nephrolithiasis) 5. Bladder - inflammatory process/tumor
What % of the body is total body water, ICF, and ECF.
60% total body water
40% ICF, mainly composed of K+, Mg2+, organic phosphates (eg, ATP)
20% ECF, mainly composed of Na+, Cl–, HCO3–, albumin
How do we measure plasma volume level? ECF?
radiolabeling albumin for plasma, ECF by inulin or mannitol
