Study Notes
Urinary and Renal Disorders
-
Urinary Tract Obstructions: Blockages or restrictions impairing urine flow. Classified as upper or lower.
-
Upper Urinary Tract Obstruction Causes:
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones): Crystal formation, including calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, struvite, and uric acid.
- Congenital anomalies: Structural abnormalities.
- Compression: Tumors, pregnancy, fibrosis.
-
Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction Causes:
- Prostate enlargement (BPH): Common in older males.
- Urethral stricture: Narrowing due to infections, trauma, or scar tissue.
- Pelvic organ prolapse (females): Organs like bladder, rectum, or uterus prolapse.
- Bladder dysfunction (neurogenic bladder): Neurological conditions impairing bladder contraction.
- Low bladder wall compliance
-
Pathophysiology of Obstruction:
- Blockage and Pressure Increase: Urine accumulates, increasing intraluminal pressure, reducing GFR and decreasing kidney function.
- Hydronephrosis: Kidney swelling from urine backup, leading to renal damage over time.
- Infection and Urinary Stasis: Risk of infection (e.g., UTI) due to accumulation of urine.
Urinary Incontinence
-
Urinary Incontinence (UI): Involuntary urine leakage due to anatomical, neurological, or functional disorders.
-
Types:
- Stress incontinence: Leakage with increased abdominal pressure.
- Urge incontinence: Sudden urge to urinate.
- Overflow incontinence: Chronic bladder overfilling causing dribbling.
- Mixed incontinence: Combination of stress and urge incontinence.
- Functional incontinence: Inability to reach a toilet due to physical impairments.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
-
UTIs: Infections affecting the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. Classified as lower or upper.
-
Most Common Cause: Escherichia coli (E. coli). Other microorganisms include Proteus, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
-
Lower UTI (Cystitis) Pathophysiology: Bacteria enter the urinary tract, attach to bladder epithelial cells and proliferate, causing inflammation in the bladder wall. Urine stasis allows bacteria to multiply.
-
Upper UTI (pyelonephritis) Pathophysiology: Infection spreads from the bladder to the kidneys via the ureters, leading to inflammation.
Glomerular Disorders
- Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomeruli, a vital part of the kidney responsible for filtering blood. Causes can be primary or secondary.
- Primary Cause: Immunological responses (types II, III, and IV hypersensitivity), infections (e.g., post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN)).
- Immune complex deposition: In Type III hypersensitivity, antigen-antibody complexes can get lodged in the glomeruli, activating the complement system, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
- Antibody-mediated injury: In Type II hypersensitivity, antibodies may directly attack glomerular components, or bind to antigens that are already within the kidney, damaging glomerular tissues. (e.g. Goodpasture syndrome, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis).
- Cell-mediated injury: Type IV hypersenstivity involve T cells targeting glomerular cells, and leading to inflammation and tissue damage
- Secondary Cause: Diabetes, hypertension, lupus, infections such as hepatitis B and C.
- Pathophysiology: Immune complexes deposition, antibody-mediated attacks, complement activation, endothelial damage, inflammation. Resulting in fibrosis and kidney impairment.
- Primary Cause: Immunological responses (types II, III, and IV hypersensitivity), infections (e.g., post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN)).
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Sudden decline in kidney function, leading to reduced glomerular filtration, fluid electrolyte imbalances and accumulation of nitrogenous waste). Causes are categorized as prerenal, intrarenal, or postrenal.
- Prerenal: Reduced blood flow to kidneys (e.g., hypotension, dehydration, heart failure).
- Intrarenal: Damage within the kidney itself (e.g., acute tubular necrosis (ATN), glomerulonephritis, acute interstitial nephritis).
- Tubular necrosis: Damaged renal tubules can't reabsorb properly and can leak, causing a build-up of waste products in the blood.
- Postrenal: Obstruction in urine flow (e.g., kidney stones, tumors, prostate enlargement).
- Key to recovery is restoring appropriate blood flow.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
-
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function, characterized by a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m² for 3 or more months.
Causes: Diabetes (including diabetic nephropathy), Hypertension, Glomerulonephritis, Polycystic Kidney Disease. -
Important Pathophysiology Points:
- Loss of Functional Nephrons: Injury damages nephrons, leading to reduced filtering ability.
- Hyperfiltration: Remaining nephrons try to compensate for lost function by increasing filtration rate, potentially damaging remaining nephrons.
- Tubulointerstitial inflammation: Inflammatory cells and cytokines lead to fibrosis and scarring, which further impairs function.
- Systemic Hypertension: Conditions like hypertension contribute to disease progression.
-
Risk Factors: Diabetes, hypertension, smoking, age, certain infections, and family history.
Nephrotic Syndrome
-
Nephrotic Syndrome: Characterized by massive protein loss (proteinuria), hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Primarily affects the glomerular filtration barrier.
-
Causes:
- Minimal Change Disease (MCD): Most common in children—damage to the podocytes, typically resolving spontaneously.
- Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
- Membranous Nephropathy: Immune complex deposits.
-
Pathophysiology:
- Damage to the GBM (glomerular basement membrane) increases protein permeability.
- Proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia.
Nephritic Syndrome
- Nephritic Syndrome: Characterized by blood in the urine (hematuria), decreased urine output (oliguria), hypertension, and increased proteinuria. Affects the glomerular capillaries primarily.
- Causes:
- Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN): Common cause following a streptococcal infection.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- IgA nephropathy
- Goodpasture syndrome
