Study Notes
- Renal Cancer (CSlides 13-140)
- Most common type: Renal Cell Carcinoma
Risk Factors
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Hypertension
- Genetic factors
Symptoms (often late-stage)
- Hematuria (blood in urine)
- CVA tenderness (flank pain)
- Palpable abdominal mass
Treatment
- Nephrectomy (kidney removal)
- Glomerulonephritis CSlides 36-430
- Glomerulonephritis is caused by an immune response that triggers inflammation in the glomeruli
- Inflammation results in lysosomal degradation of the basement membrane and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
Acute Glomerulonephritis Symptoms
- Clinical manifestations: proteinuria, oliguria (low urine output), azotemia (waste buildup), edema, and hypertension
- Post-infectious acute glomerulonephritis often follows throat or skin infections and is most common in children
- Urine may be smoky or coffee-colored
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
- The progressive nature of chronic glomerulonephritis leads to end-stage renal disease (sclerosis and fibrosis of the kidney)
- Symptoms include persistent proteinuria, hematuria, and declining kidney function
