Study Notes
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is diabetes mellitus.
- Persistent proteinuria is a characteristic laboratory finding of CKD, indicating glomerular damage.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Obstructive uropathy is a common reversible cause of AKI.
- A low fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa < 1%) is indicative of prerenal AKI.
- Urine sediment with RBC casts is not indicative of prerenal AKI.
Glomerular Diseases
- IgA nephropathy is associated with "cola-colored" urine.
- Minimal change disease is associated with podocyte foot process effacement.
Polycystic Kidney Disease
- PKD1 on chromosome 16 is the most likely genetic mutation in patients with multiple kidney cysts and flank pain/hematuria.
- Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with ADPKD.
Nephrotic Syndrome
- Minimal change disease is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children.
- Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults.
Renal Vascular Disease
- Doppler ultrasound is the best diagnostic test to confirm renal artery stenosis.
- Fibromuscular dysplasia is associated with a "string of beads" appearance on imaging studies.
Acute Tubular Necrosis
- Muddy brown casts in the urine are characteristic of acute tubular necrosis (ATN).
