Glomerulonephritis disorder of glomeruli. It is characterized by body tissue swelling (edema), high blood pressure, and the presence of red blood cells in the urine.
causes of Glomerulonephritis Primary, affecting only the kidneys, Secondary, caused by a vast array of disorders that affect other parts of the body.
Causes: Acute Glomerulonephritis a complication of throat or skin infection by streptococcus -staphylococcus and pneumococcus, -viral infections, such as chickenpox, -parasitic infections, such as malaria. -Noninfectious causes of acute glomerulonephritis include: -membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, -immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, -systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus)
Causes Chronic Glomerulonephritis: hereditary nephritis, an inherited genetic disorder. In many people, the cause of chronic glomerulonephritis cannot be identified.
Symptoms of Glomerulonephritis: Edema: Puffiness of the face Eyelids but later is prominent in the legs. -Blood pressure -headaches -visual disturbances -coma -nausea -general feeling of illness (malaise) -weakness, fatigue -fever -Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting -abdominal pain -joint pain
Treatment for Glomerulonephritis: diet that is low in protein and sodium Diuretics may be prescribed to help the kidneys excrete excess sodium and water. High blood pressure needs to be treated. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). antibiotics ( bacterial infection)
Pyelonephritis bacterial infection (90% is by Escherichia Coli) of one or both kidneys.
symptoms of Pyelonephritis Chills, fever, back pain, nausea, and vomiting can occur. Urine and sometimes blood tests are done to diagnose pyelonephritis.
treatment of Pyelonephritis Antibiotics are given to treat the infection
causes for Stones in the Urinary Tract urine becomes too saturated with salts that can form stones or because the urine lacks the normal inhibitors of stone formation. Citrate is such an inhibitor.
what is the inhibitor of stones in the urinary tract citrate
About 80% of the stones are composed of calcium, and the remainder are composed of various substances, including uric acid, cystine.
Stones are more common in people with hyperparathyroidism
Treatment Stones in the Urinary Tract Drinking plenty of fluids drugs to help pass -Potassium citrate Calcium channel blockers (such as Verapamil)
The pain of renal colic may be relieved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or opioids.
Two types of acid are produced in the body: Volatile acid Nonvolatile acids
Nonvolatile acids are also called fixed acids
Nonvolatile acids sulfuric acid H2SO4 (a product of protein catabolism) and phosphoric acid (a product of phospholipid catabolism) -are normally produced at a rate of 40-60mmoles/day.
Volatile acid is CO2 and is produced from aerobic metabolism of cells.

Reabsorption of filtered HCO3- -occurs primarily in the proximal tubule.
. H+ and HCO3 are produced in ________ ______ _____ from CO2 and H2O proximal tubule cells
Metabolic acidosis Overproduction or ingestion of fixed acid or loss of base produces an increase In arterial (H+) (acidemia).
Acidemia causes hyperventilation
hyperventilation is the respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis.
. Renal correction of metabolic acidosis consists of increased excretion excess fixed H+ as titratable acid and NH4+, and increased reabsorption of new HCO3-, which replenishes the HCO3- used in buffering the added fixed H+.
Metabolic alkalosis . Loss of fixed H+ or gain of base produces a decrease in arterial H+ (alkalemia) results in an increase in arterial HCO3-
Alkalemia causes hypoventilation
hypoventilation which is the respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis.
Renal correction of metabolic alkalosis consists of increased excretion of HCO3- because the filtered load of HCO3- exceeds the ability of the renal tubule to reabsorb it.
