Khawla has Complications
- edema
- causes
- increased hydrostatic pressure
- reduced colloidal or oncotic pressure within blood vessels
- increased tissue colloidal or oncotic pressure
- increased blood vessel wall permeability (e.g., inflammation);
- obstruction of fluid clearance in the lymphatic system
- Generalized
- Cardiac Failure
- Nephrotic Syndrome
- Organ specific
- Nephrotic Syndrome
- Lymph obstruction
- Contact dermatitis
- proteinuria
- Glomerular pathology (for example glomerulonephritis or diabetes)
- Urinary tract infection
- congestive heart failure
- Early in the morning/ dehydration
- After vigorous exercise
- High fever
- Orthostatic proteinuria (in children)
- Kidney anatomy
- Retro-peritoneally in the posterior
abdominal wall by the side of the
vertebral column.
- T 12 to L3 vertebrae.
- 1-Fibrous capsule (true
capsule) 2-Perinephric fat
3-Renal fascia (gerota)
4-Paranephric fat
- Renal coverings
- Renal filtration
- filtration barrier
- Capillary endothelium - fenestrated
- Basement membrane –
homogeneous negatively charged
glycoproteins
/mucopolysaccharide
- Capsular epithelial cells - podocytes & foot
processes
- Composition of filtrate
depends on the filtration
barrier
- easily filtered
- Major electrolytes: Metabolic waste products:
Metabolites;Non-natural substances: inulin,
PAH (p-aminohippuric acid) ;Lower-weight
proteins and peptides:
- not freely filtered
- Albumin and other plasma proteins ; Lipid-soluble
substances transported in the plasma attached to
proteins, such as lipid-soluble bilirubin, T4 (thyroxine),
other lipid-soluble hormones ; Unbound lipid-soluble
substances such as free-cortisol are filtered and can
appear in the urine
- Starling forces which
determine GFR or glomerular
filtration rate
- classification of renal diseases
- Acute
- chronic
- Diabetic nephropathy
- signs and symptoms
- Worsening blood pressure control
- Nausea and vomiting
- Swelling of feet, ankles, hands or eyes
- Increased need to urinate
- Protein in the urine
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- loss of appetite
- NEG of vascular basement
membrane leads to hyaline
arteriolosclerosis
- High filtration injury that leads to sclerosis of
mesangium
- Investigations for kidney diseases
- Hematuria
- Proteinuria
- Functional
- Overflow
- Glomerular
- tubular
- Color, Clarity, Gravity
- Glucose, ketones
- Bilirubin, urobilinogen
- Nitrites, leukocyte esterase
- Treatment
- medications
- ACE inhibitors and ARBs are the mainly the only
drugs that actually slow down the progression of the
nephropathy
- diet monitoring
- Kidney-Pancreas transplant
- dialysis
- Prognosis
