Study Notes

Urinary Tract Function

  • Produces, stores, and eliminates urine
  • Composed of bladder, two kidneys, two ureters, and the urethra
  • Kidneys responsible for homeostasis via urine production and elimination
  • Body functions impacted: BP, electrolyte and acid-base balance, RBC production, and bone health

Kidney Disorders

  • Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): rapid decrease in kidney function
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): loss of kidney function over time
  • End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): occurs if CKD is not treated, resulting in the body's failure to remove waste

Glomerular Disorders

  • Attack tiny filters in the kidneys, called glomeruli, where blood is cleaned
  • Damaged glomeruli can allow proteins and sometimes red blood cells to leak into urine
  • Albumin Glomerulonephritis (GN): inflammation of glomeruli and capillaries, primary cause of AKI and CKD

Glomerulonephritis (GN)

  • Etiology and pathogenesis: postinfectious, systemic disease, toxin exposure, thrombosis, genetic
  • Clinical manifestations: proteinuria, hematuria, edema
  • Diagnosis: 24-hour urine test, kidney biopsy (gold standard)
  • Treatment: blood pressure control with ACE inhibitors, blood cholesterol control with statins, immunosuppression as needed

Diabetic Nephropathy

  • Leading cause of ESRD due to proteinuria and hyperfiltration
  • Risk factors: poor glycemic control, uncontrolled hypertension, obesity, smoking, genetic factors, race
  • More prevalent in African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian individuals
  • Clinical manifestations: albuminuria, hyperfiltration, hypertension
  • Diagnosis: diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria
  • Treatment: maintain BP, manage diabetes and hypertension
