Study Notes
- Albuminuria is an early sign of renal involvement in diabetes mellitus, detected via urinalysis.
- Urinalysis can reveal excess glucose, acetone bodies, ketones, pus, phenylketones, hemoglobin, and bilirubin.
- UTIs affect kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, leading to renal failure and potential end-stage kidney disease.
- Inflammatory disorders like interstitial nephritis can lead to poor renal function, fever, skin rash, eosinophils, and pyelonephritis.
- Renal abscesses can be visualized via CT scans, and urethral and ureteral inflammation or blockages can cause symptoms like diminished force, dysuria, polyuria, hesitation, and nocturia.
- Kidney stones are formed by high calcium levels and can be caused by chronic dehydration, gout, urinary tract infections, or dietary choices.
- Polycystic kidney disease is a progressive condition causing multiple fluid-filled sacs inside and outside the kidneys.
- Uremia and azotemia refer to high levels of nitrogenous wastes in the blood.
- Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema.
- Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidney, causing leaky glomeruli and leading to symptoms like blood in the urine, increased urinary frequency, and dysuria.
- Imaging techniques like CT scans, retrograde pyelograms, and MRI can help diagnose kidney and bladder disorders and tumors.
- Diagnostic procedures like blood urea nitrogen and creatinine clearance tests can measure the amount of urea and nitrogen in the blood and assess renal function.
