Question
Answer
Hypertensive Nephrosclerosis   Does not typically lead to significant renal impairment *Often asymptomatic* *Accounts for 1/3 of ESRD* Most prevalent in African-Americans (leading cause of ESRD)  
🗑
Pathologic findings of hypertensive nephrosclerosis   Atrophic kidneys -Granular surface  
🗑
What would you see with light microscopy?   Prominent changes in the subcortical area Tubular atrophy (due to dysfunction of glomeruli)  
🗑
Appearance of the arteries   Larger arteries: intimal fibrosis Smaller arteries: medial fibrosis/sclerosis Arterioles: hyaline thickening of the walls (amorphic pink)  
🗑
Malignant hypertension   *Diastolic pressures >120-130* Accompanied by ocular changes: Retinal vascular changes, papilledema, renal dysfunction  
🗑
Etiology of Malignant Hypertension   Now well understood Develops de novo in some cases  
🗑
Clinical findings for Malignant Hypertension   M>W, ~ 40s *Headache, dizziness visual disturbances* Progressive renal dysfxn  
🗑
Pathology of MH   Kidneys vary in size Surface is mottled red/yellow with scattered *infarcts* *Fibrinoid necrosis, marked hyaline sclerosis, hyperplastic arteritis*  
🗑
What's seen with LM?   Fibrinoid necrosis *Onion skin lesion*  
🗑
Renal artery stenosis   *can be reversed* with reestablishment of lumen  
🗑
What might you see clinically with RAS?   Mild-moderate HTN +/- briuts  
🗑
Etiology of RAS   Increased activity of RAAS #1 cause is athrosclerosis  
🗑
Fibromuscular dysplasia   Fibrosis of the arterial wall with resultant stenosis *Medial fibroplasia* Areas of thickening altering with atrophy *String of beads" pattern.  
🗑
Thrombotic Microangiopathies   Systemic thromubus formation through out *small vessels*  
🗑
Clinical features of Thrombotic Microanhiopathies.   Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, HTN, renal failure  
🗑
Lab findings for TM.   *Schistocytes* in peripheral blood smear Normal coagtimes or normal/slightly elevated FPS  
🗑
Causes of TM.   Endothelial damage with leakage of plasma into subendothelial tissues  
🗑
Categories of TM causes   Infection Drugs Autoimmune disease Malignant HTN Pregnancy and postpatrum depression  
🗑
Morphology of TM   Somewhat similar to malignant HTN *arteriolar fibroid necrosis* Collapsing of glomeruli, necrosis or glomerular capillary congestion  
🗑
Two forms of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)   Typical (diarrhea +) Atypical (diarrhea -)  
🗑
Typical HUS   Ingestion of food contaminated with *bacteria* Generally E.coli Kids > adults Sudden onset of a GI bleed, oliguria and hematuria  
🗑
Atypical HUS   *Inherited mutations* of complement proteins *Acquired* anti-phopholipid antibodies Seen in adults Worse prognosis  
🗑
Classical pentad of symptoms for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (TTP)   Fever Neurologic symptoms Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia Thrombocytopenia ARF  
🗑
TTP is caused by ____ or a genetic defect resulting in ____   *Antibiotics* *Decreased fxn of ADAMTS13*  
🗑
What does ADAMTS13 do, and what does its absence result in?   ADAMTS13 normally cleaves large multimers of vWF Lack of this results in large vWF multimers autoinducing platelet aggregation  
🗑
Renal Vasculitides   Diseases that affect small, medium, and large vessels in the kidney  
🗑
Where do small-vessel vasculitis attack?   Glomeruli Arterioles Interlobular arteries  
🗑
When can you see preeclampsia?   3rd trimester of pregnancy  
🗑
Symptoms of preeclampsia   HTN proteinuria edema  
🗑
Eclampsia   HTN Proteinuria Edema *Seizures*  
🗑
Sickle cell nephropathy   From sickle cell dz or trait  
🗑
Sickle cell nephropathy clinical findings   hematuria Diminished concentrating ability of the kidney  
🗑
Etiology/pathology of Sickle cell nephropathy   Medullary interstitium is hypertonic and hypoxic Promotes sickling of RBCs Vascular occlusion with hypoxia *papillary necrosis* FSGS may develope  
🗑
Tx for Sickle cell nephropathy   Improve oxygenation Red cell exchange  
🗑
Renal embolization   Reason for the majority of renal infarcts  
🗑
Sources of renal emboli   **************** Cardiac Mural thrombi Cardiac vavlular vegetations Complicated atherosclerotic plaques ****************  
🗑
Renal embolization results in...   *wedge-shaped* cortical infarcts  
🗑
