polyuria large amounts of urine
nephron functional unit of the kidney
renal corpuscle composed of Bowman's capsule & Glomerulus
uremia fibrinous pericarditis cardiovascular manifestations of elevated BUN
nephritis acute or chronic inflammation of the kidney affecting the structure (as of the glomerulus or parenchyma) and caused by infection, a degenerative process, or vascular disease
glomerular diseases immune system-nephritic
nephritic disease hematuria (red blood cells in urine)
albumin any of numerous simple heat-coagulable water-soluble proteins that occur in blood plasma or serum, muscle, the whites of eggs, milk, and other animal substances and in many plant tissues and fluid
hema turia blood in urine
pyurea the presence of pus in the urine; also : a condition (as pyelonephritis) characterized by pus in the urine
cystitis inflammation of the urinary bladder
proteinurea the presence of excess protein in the urine
proteinurea urine foaming
acute renal failure oliguria (low urine) or anuria (no urea)
nephrolithiasis : a condition marked by the presence of renal calculi
mesangium a thin membrane that gives support to the capillaries surrounding the tubule of a nephron
glomular lesions sclerotic - scarring
interstitial fibrosis scarring between glomerules
immunoflourescence diagnose glomular disease
amyloid a waxy translucent substance consisting primarily of protein that is deposited in some animal organs and tissue under abnormal conditions (as in Alzheimer's disease)
nephrotic an abnormal condition that is marked by deficiency of albumin in the blood and its excretion in the urine due to altered permeability of the glomerular basement membranes (as by a toxic chemical agent)
nephrotic syndrome PROTEINUREA
glomerulonephritis deposition of antigens-antibodies attack basement membrane(filter) -streptococci release
nephrotic syndrome proteinurea - hypoalbuminemia-edema
edema an abnormal excess accumulation of serous fluid in connective tissue or in a serous cavity -- called also dropsy
minimal change disease (lipoid nephrosis) corticosteriods
focal & segmental glomulerulosclerosis (FSGS) podocyte injury-progresses to complete renal failure
membranous nephropathy deposits along GBM--sometimes secondary to infection-may be benign or progress to renal failur
membranoporligerative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) Type I - immune complex Type II dense deposit
nephritic syndrome HEMATURIA - oligurea - BUN (blood urea nitrogen) hypertension -
hereditary nephritis Alport syndrome-affects eyes "port" to soul - cataracts
Crescentic (Rapidly progressive) glomerulonphritis rapid loss of renal function-oliguria-bowman's capsule cells proliferate
Goodpasture syndrome (anti-glomerula Basement Membrane disease Deposits of IgG
Immune Complex (Type II) Crescentic glomerulonephritis complication of immune complex nephritides
Berger's Disease-IgA nephropathy dr. Berger-peds dr-usually affects young children - loin pain - hematuria -deposits of IgA in mesangium-progress to renal disease
Alport Syndrome eyes in Males, (not all!)-corneal dystrophy - X-linked
chronic glomerulitis end-stage renal failure-hemodialysis patients have this - proteniuria
cysts on kidney benign; sometimes from dialysis
autosomal dominant (adult) polycystic kidney disease mutated gene, slow-acting-death from renal failure
medullary cystic disease sponge kidney - or nephronophtis -medullary cystic disease complex
medullary cystic disease morphology-small kidneys; tubular atrophy -renal failure in children
renal tumors - benign p53 tumor suppressor gene
wilms tumor proliferation of abnormal renal stem cells
arterial walls are thicker (2) accommodate pulsatile flow and higher blood pressures
pathologic lesions in vascular tree affect certain parts of circulation
atherosclerosis affects mainly elastic and muscular arteries
hypertension affects small muscular arteries and arteriolds
vasculitis involve only vessesl of acertain caliber
vessel wall cellularity endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMCS)
endothelial cells extracellular matrix (ECM) elastin, collagen and glycosaminoglycans
endothelial cells vessels walls 3 layers intima, media, and adventitia
internal elastic lamina dense elastic membrane in arteries (especially)
lamina thin plate or flat layer (L. layer, stratum)
fenestrations having windowlike openings (L. window)
how do smooth muscle cells in epithelium receive oxygen and nutrients? in small vessels, directly from blood flow through fenestrations
vasa vasorum in larger vessels, small arterioles supply smooth muscle cells (SMC) with oxygen and nutrients
arteries 3 types Large/elastic - medium-sized/muscular - small/arterioles
large/elastic arteries aorta & large branches - innominate, subclavian, common carotid and iliac and pulmonary arteries
small arteries and arterioles pressure and velocity of blood flow are both sharply reduced; flow is steady rather than pulsatile -
what happens with even small changes in arteriolar lumen size? blood flow is profoundly affected
capillaries approximately the diameter of a single red blood cell - have endothelial cell lining but no media
veins larger diameter, larger lumen, thinner walls
lymphatics thin-walled, endothelium-lined channels - drain excess interstitial tissue
lymphatics - infection & tumor lymphatics check for infection; also tumor cells from distant sites can be transported by lymphatics
intima L. innermost
tunica intima innermost coat of a blood or lymphatic vessel; consists of endothelium, thin fibroelastic subendothelial layer, inner elastic membrane
what happens with vascular injury? SMC growth is stimulated; associated matrix is synthesized
vessel wall is injured intimal wall will thicken
phenotype of neointimal SMCs cannot contract (fewer contractile filaments) have more organelles for protein synthesis
arteriosclerosis arterio g. sclerosis (hardening)
atherosclerosis athero Gr. (gruel, porridge) combining form meaning greullike, soft, pasty materials
atheroma lipid deposits in intima of arteries, producing a yellow selling on endothelial surface (gr. atheree, gruel + oma - tumor)
atherogenesis "response to injury" hypothesis - a chronic inflammatory response of the arterial wall to endothelial injury
chronic endothelial injury (lesion progression) can be due to hypertension, smoking, toxins, viruses & immune reactions - causes lesion progression because of increased permeability, laukocyte adhesion and thrombosis
accumulation of lipoproteins (lesion progression) LDL and its oxidized forms - cause lesion progression in the vessel wall
monocyte adhesion (lesion progression) moncytes adhere to endothelium-then migrate into intima and transform into macrophages and foam cells
platelet adhesion (lesion progression)
factor release from activated platelets inducing SMC recruitment
endothelial dysfunction (2 causes) hemodynamic disturbances and hypercholesterolemia
hemodynamic disturbance plaque tend to occur at ostia of exiting vessels, branchpoints, and posterior wall of adbominal aorta, - where there are disturbed flow patterns
nonturbulent laminar flow leads to induction of endothelial genes whose products protect against atherosclerosis
atheroprotective genes protect against atherosclerosis - superoxide dismutase
nonrandom localization of early atherosclerotic lesions where there is nonturbulent laminar flow, there is protection against plaques
dyslipoproteinemias Factors affecting the circulating levels of lipids -
"bad" cholesterol increased LDL
"good" cholesterol HDL
significant correlation between LDL total plasma cholesterol & severity of atherocslerosis
chronic hyperlipidemia lipoproteins accumulate in intima-then oxidized-then ingested by macrophages-then form "foam" cells
oxidized LDL important to atherogenesis - present at all stages of plaque formation
