Study Notes
Internal Medicine-2 Step-1
-
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Recommended research methods in nephrology include the Nechiporenko test, Addis-Kakovsky sample, and urine sediment microscopy.
-
Community-Acquired UTI Pathogen: The most common cause is E. coli.
-
Hemorrhagic Cystitis Pathogen: Klebsiella is the most common causative agent.
-
Nephrotic Syndrome Cause: Loss of proteins in the urine is the most characteristic feature.
-
Renal Patient Clinical Examination: Cystography and Zimnitsky test are mandatory during long-term clinical examinations.
-
Chronic Kidney Disease Mechanism: Decreased functioning nephrons lead to hyperfiltration.
-
Acute Pyelonephritis: Symptoms include leukocyturia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and bacteriuria.
-
Kidney Edema: Increased sodium retention in the body is a likely cause.
-
Nephrotic syndrome symptoms: Edema, hematuria, cylindruria, hypocholesterolemia, increased sedimentation rate.
-
Nitrogen excretion marker: Creatinine is an accurate indicator.
-
Chronic Kidney Disease Causes: Glomerulonephritis and arterial hypertension are the most frequent.
-
Nephroprotective Therapy in CKD: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the gold standard.
-
Acute Kidney Injury Complications: The most likely complication is electrolyte imbalance.
