Question
Answer
Gerota's Fascia   Covers the kidney (not the sinus) Important in staging of tumors  
🗑
Glomerular endothelial cells are...   Fenestrated Allows for easier filtration  
🗑
Principle Kidney Functions   1. Form and excrete urine 2. Regulate body water 3. regulate electrolytes and mineral content 4. maintain acid-base balance  
🗑
Principle Kidney Function (cont.)   5. Regulate BP -intravascular vol -vascular tone 6. Regulate erythropoiesis 7. Synthesize active Vit. D  
🗑
Kidney receives __% of total cardiac output   20-25%  
🗑
Renal plasma flow (RPF)   600 mL/min  
🗑
Autoregulated PF: Angiotensin   Vasoconstriction Decreases flow  
🗑
Autoregulated PF: Prostaglandins   Vasodilation Increases flow  
🗑
How to classify kidney disease   1. Renal compartment involved -Glomerular -Tubulointerstitial -Vascular 2. "Focality" (1° V 2°) 3. Acute V Chronic  
🗑
How to classify kidney disease (cont.)   4. Clinical manifestations -Acute V chronic injury/failure -Nephrotic/nephritic -Hematuria  
🗑
Light microsocopy stains: Silver Trichrome PAS   S: glomerular filtration barrier T: too much extracellular material P: certain types of protein deposited normally  
🗑
Glomerular Filtration: The GFB   1. Endothelial cells 2. GBM 3. Visceral podocytes 4. Mesangial cell 5. Mesangial matrix No GBM bewteen 1 & 4  
🗑
The GBM provides a _____ barrier.   Major charge-exclusion barrier  
🗑
Podocyte filtration slit diaphragms acts as the ______ barrier   Primary size-exclusion barrier  
🗑
Pathologic alterations in glomerular disease   1. Cellularity 2. GFB alterations 3. Hyalinosis 4. Sclerosis  
🗑
Pathologic alterations in glomerular disease: Cellularity   Increased number of cells Inflammation and proliferation  
🗑
Pathologic alterations in glomerular disease: GFB alteration   Deposition of electron-dense material Increase synthesis of GBM/ECM components  
🗑
Pathologic alterations in glomerular disease: Hyalinosis   Insudation of plasma proteins in capillary/vessel wall from endothelial injury  
🗑
Pathologic alterations in glomerular disease: Sclerosis   Accumulation of E/C collagens in mesangium or capillary loops  
🗑
