Shit - Renal Flashcards
(98 cards)
Kidney development
Pronephros –> mesonephros (vas def) –> gives off ureteric bud (CD-ureter) –> interacts with metanephric messenchyme/blasthema –>(glomerulus-DCT)
*abn interaction –> Multicystic dysplastic kidney (unilat, congenital)*
*if man is missing one vas def, he may be missing that kidney*
MC site of hydronephrosis in fetus
uretero-pelvic junction (last to canalize)
COD potters
Lung hypoplasia
Horseshoe kidney:
- point it get stuck
- associations
IMA.
Assoc: uretero-pelvic obstuction (hydronephrosis), renal stones, infections, chromosomal aneuploidy (13, 18, 21, XO), rarely renal cancer
JG cell location
between afferent arteriole and macula dense (DCT)
%s of body weight:
- TBWater
- ECF - plasma
- ICF - RBC vol
TBW = 60%
ECF = 20% (inulin); 75% interstitial fluid, 25% plasma (albumin)
ICF = 40%; 10% is RBCs
size barrier
fenestrated endothelium
charge barrier
GBM - lost in nephOTIC syndromes
Estimating GFR;
normal value
**Filtered, but NOT resorbed or secreted**
Estimate = creatinine (slight overestimate)
Better = inulin
GFR = 120ml/min
Estimating eRPF
Using eRPF to find RBF
PAH clearance because filtered AND SECRETED so all of it excreted
RPF = RBF * plasma%
RPF = RBF * (1-hct%)
RBF = RPF/(1-hct%)
FF
FF = GFR/RPF
FF = 20%
Filtered load
FL = GFR * plasma []
Excretion =
excretion = filtered + secreted - resorbed
Pregnancy and kidneys
Normal pregnancy can decrease PCT resorption of glucose and amino acids –> out in urine
glucose and kidney: threshold and Tm
Threshold = 200mg/dL
Tm = 375mg/dL
Hartnup’s =
NEUTRAL amino acid transporter problem.
In GIT and PCT
s/s = pellagra (no Tryp for B3) Rx = B3 supplements and high protein diet
DDX = fanconi anemia, which is ALL AA (i.e. proline)
contraction alkalosis
When volume low (contracted), ATII stimulates Na//H+, leading to volume restoration with Na+ but loss of H+ leading to alkalosis
Major role of PCT
- Resorb glucose/AA/PO4 (blocked by PTH)
- exchange with H+ (stim by AT-II)
- excrete bases i.e. NH3 (for Cl-)
- ISOtonic absorption
tAL
NKCC-T
MG and Ca
DCT
NaCl-T Ca//Na @ BL to resorb Ca (stim by PTH)
PTH locations and actions in kidney
Inhibits:
- PCT = Na/PO4
Activates:
- DCT = Na//Ca (@BL)
- PCT = 1-aOHase activity
CD
Principal:
- ADH @ AQP
- Aldosterone @ Na, K, Na//K
A-intercalated:
- H+ ATPase
- HCO3//Cl- @ BL
Fanconi syndrome: Where Lost S/s Causes
Where: PCT
Lost: all AA, glucose, HCO3-, PO4
S/s: prox. renal tubular metabolic ACIDosis
Causes: wilsons, tyrosinemia, glycogen storage diseases, expired tetracyclins, tenofovir, multiple myelomas, ischemia, lead poisoning
Bartters
Loop NKCC
Hypokalemia –> resorbed in CD –> exchange for H+ –> metabolic alkalosis Hypercalciuria
