Question
Answer
In recessive and dominant PKD, where do the cysts evolve from   R: renal collecting ducts, D: arise anywhere in the nephron  
🗑
What is the MC inherited renal dz in infancy and childhood   Autosomal recessive PKD  
🗑
Where is the mutation for recessive   defect on chromosome 6P 21  
🗑
What is a common feature of recessive PKD   infants have a problem w/ free water excretion leading to hyponatremia  
🗑
What is the difference b/w autosomal dominant PKD and chronic KD   PKD causes progressive kidney enlargement  
🗑
Is this 100% genetic   there are genes that code for this, but mutations are common that lead to PKD as well  
🗑
What two factors of PKD would show slower progression   PKD 2 and females  
🗑
Why do PKD pts do so well on dialysis alone   they can still excrete free water (urine), but have trouble filtering  
🗑
Clinical features of PKD   most are asymptomatic, pain once the kidneys get large, UTI’s and stones, Hematuria (50%), HTN (60%), intracerebral aneurysm  
🗑
What can happen with these cysts?   can get infected, must be drained  
🗑
How do we dx PKD   US, (CT and MRI not usually used, but MRI can detect change in kidney vol)  
🗑
Tx for PKD   none. Dialysis, and trxp. Control HTN and Lipids to prevent progression, tx pain  
🗑
What is the worst thing a pt could do to worsen ANY kidney dz   smoking  
🗑
What is goal tx of BP with PKD   130/80 (low enough to not have hypotension sxs) must individualize care  
🗑
What are some extra renal manifestations, and RFs w/ this   liver cysts, RF: females exposed to estrogen: preggo, and oral contraceptives  
🗑
Besides the liver cysts, what else can PKD precipitate   cerebral aneurisms  
🗑
What is rhabdomyolysis   stressed skeletal muscle that releases its contents (creatnine kinase) of muscle into the extracellular fluid that could cause kidney damage  
🗑
Where do we see rhabdo   intense athletes (marathons), military, crush syndrome  
🗑
Causes of Rhabdo   physical trauma, ↑physical activity-szs, movement d/o’s, compromised flow to muscle→necrosis leads to release of CK, Drugs, Toxins, ↑↓temps, infectious causes and bites  
🗑
What drugs may cause Rhabdo   HMG co-A reductase inhibitors (statins)  
🗑
Toxins that may cause rhabdo   ethanol, CO, snake venom  
🗑
Dx of rhabdo   pink urine, ↑CK: >10-20,000, evidence of renal failure,  
🗑
Tx of rhabdo   maintain hydration, forced mannitol-alkaline diuresis (can use Lasix? But must be certain they are hydrated 1st)  
🗑
What is mannitol   a osmotic diuretic  
🗑
25 yo runner running 50mile race, feeling fatigue, muscle pain, stops to urinate and has red urine, dx?   rhabdomyolysis  
🗑
Dx of urine that is red   it is red, but has no blood cells, red d/t myoglobin  
🗑
Pt goes into acute renal failure in ICU what is the mortality rate   40-90%!  
🗑
3 major categories of acute renal injury   pre-renal, intra-renal, post-renal (need to be able to tell the diff)  
🗑
What are causes of pre-renal renal failure   anything that may reduce renal perfusion: vol depletion, hypotension, CHF, arrhythmias,, intrarenal vasoconstriction? hypercalcemia, hepatorenal syndrome  
🗑
What are some drugs that may ↑intrarenal vasoconstriction   ACEi, NSAIDS, AmphoB, cyclosporine/tacrolimus, radiographic contrast  
🗑
What are intrarenal failure causes   any damage to the kidney parynchema, vascular, tubular, glomerular, interstitial damages  
🗑
Is cortical and tubular necrosis reversible   cortical: usually bilaterally do not recovery, tubular, can regetnerate tubules and kidney fxn returns  
🗑
What is acute interstitial nephritis   allergic rxn in the kidney. Eosinophils in urine and or blood, commonly d/t an abx (tx is prednisone and stopping offending agent)  
🗑
Post renal causes   Obstruction: prostatic hypertrophy, nerogenic bladder, intraureteral obstruction, extrauretral obstruction: tumors, retroperitoneal fibrosis  
🗑
Any female that has bilateral obstruction of the kidneys has what   a carcinoma until proven otherwise  
🗑
Functionally, urine outpul tell that required to maintain solute balance   Oliguric, <400ml/24hrs  
🗑
Complete obstruction of urine, major vascular catastrophy, commonly severe ATN   anuric <100ml/24hrs  
🗑
When is oliguria seen   more common w/ obstruction, prerenal azotemia  
🗑
When is nonoliguric more common   intrarenal causes, nephrotoxic ATN, acute GN, AIN  
🗑
Dysgeusia   altered taste sensation  
🗑
Hiccups   singultus  
🗑
Signs of chronic dz   pre-exisiting illness, uremic sx, small echogenic kidneys by US  
🗑
What is a significant lab test for ARF   FENA and BUN  
🗑
What does a BUN/Creatinine ration >20/1 suggest   prerenal or obstruction  
🗑
Fxns of kidney   ↑ calcium absorption: calcitriol, Stimulates RBC production, Regulates BP and electrolytes: renin  
🗑
Classifications of acute renal failure   sudden, rapid ↓ urine output, usually reversible, tubular cell death with regeneration  
🗑
Classifications of chronic renalfaiure   progressive, not reversible, nephron loss, can lose ~75% renal fxn prior to having sxs  
🗑
What ↑ as kidney fxns ↓   uraemia  
🗑
Stages of CDK   Stage 1-5  
🗑
Kidney damage w/ nl or ↑ GFR   Stage 1 GFR >90  
🗑
Severe ↓ GFR   stage 4 15-29  
🗑
Kidney failure   stage 5, <15 or dialysis  
🗑
Kidney damage w/ mild ↓ GFR   stage 2, 60-89  
🗑
Mod ↓ GFR   stage 3, 30-59  
🗑
Causes of CKD   DM, HTN, GN, PKD, obstructions, infections  
🗑
What may progress CKD   sustaining primary dz, HTN, intraglomerular HTN, proteinuria, nephrocalcinosis, Dyslipidemia,  
🗑
What should all CKD pts be on   lipid lowering agent , and ACEi (if they can be) (statins: have a factor that help the kidney “deal” with CKD)  
🗑
how can we slow pregoression of CKD   control HTN, diet, anemia, ca++ and PO3, lipids, obesity, smoking  
🗑
Sxs CKD   often asymptomatic, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, HTN/HF, unexplained anemia  
🗑
Tx of metabolic acidosis   oral Na+ bicarb  
🗑
MC cause of renal failure   DM  
🗑
What are two types of dialysis   hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis (thru abdomen)  
🗑
Questions   Not done :D
