Pathophysiology: Cardiovascular and Renal Conditions

This document discusses various topics related to cardiovascular and respiratory conditions including atherosclerosis, hypertension, angina, and chronic lung diseases. It mentions that atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries over time. High blood pressure and smoking are common risk factors. The role of HDL is to transport cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver. Unstable angina suggests a myocardial infarction is imminent and is characterized by recurring chest pain unrelated to activity. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a persistent cough with sputum production for at least three months for two consecutive years.

LITHIASIS
NEPHROLITHIASIS & UROLITHIASIS

Etiology:Most common cause of Lithiasis - Calcium stone


- Hypercalcemia (Eg. Inc intake, or Hyper-PTH) > Calcium Stones 80%
- Chronic UTI > Triple Phosphate /Struvite/ “Staghorn” Stones 15%
- Uremia > Urate Stones (+ Gout)

Pathogenesis:
- Hypercalcemia > Calcium in Urine Precipitates out of Solution > Calcium Stones 80%
- Chronic UTI > Gram-Neg Rods (Proteus, Pseudomonas & Klebsiella - NOT E. coli) > Triple
Phosphate/Struvite/ “Staghorn” Stones 15%
- May cause > Urinary Obstruction > Hydronephrosis > Stretching of Renal Capsule > Pain)

Morphology:
a. Calcium Stones 80%
- Small, hard Stones (1-3mm);
- Stones have sharp edges
- Radio-Opaque
b. Triple Phosphate/Struvite/ “Staghorn” Stones 15%
- Large Stones (Molds to Renal
Pelvis/Calyces) ʹ Hence Staghorn͘͟
- Chronic Irritation of Epithelium surrounding Stone > Squamous Metaplasia

Clinical Features:
- Usually, Unilateral o Painful Hematuria ʹ Macro/Micro
- Writhing in pain͕ pacing about and unable to lie still͟
- Hydronephrosis > Stretching of Renal Capsule > Flank Pain & Tenderness.
o Stone in Ureteropelvic Junction > Deep flank pain. No radiation. Distension of the Renal Capsule.
o Stone in Ureter > Intense, Colicky Pain (Loin > Inguinal Region > Testes/Vulva) + N/V.
o Stone in Ureterovesical Junction > Dysuria, Frequency, + Tip of penis pain
Complications:
- Hydronephrosis
- Post-Renal Failure
- Infection >ʹ (UTI/Pyelonephritis/Perinephric Abscess)
Investigations:
- Abdo USS – (Confirm Stone)
- Abdo XR – (Confirm Calcium Vs Radio-Lucent Stone)
- UECs – inc. Calcium or inc. Urea
Management:
- Conservative – (Daily Na-Bicarbonate Tablets to Alkalize Urine > Dissolve Urate Stones)
- (ESWL) Extracorporeal Shock-Wave Lithotripsy - (For Calcium Stones)
- Surgical – (For All Stones Not Amenable to the above)
Location of Stones
a. calyx
- may cause flank discomfort, recurrent
infection or persistent hematuria
- may remain asymptomatic for years and
not require treatment
b. pelvis
- tend to cause UPJ obstruction renal pelvis and one or more calyces
c. staghorn calculi
- often associated with infection
- infection will not resolve until stone cleared
- may obstruct renal drainage
d. ureter
- 5 mm diameter will pass spontaneously in 75% of patients the three narrowest passage points for upper
tract stones include: UPJ, pelvic brim, UVJ

Stone Pathogenesis
Factors promoting stone formation
- stasis (hydronephrosis, congenital abnormality)
- medullary sponge kidney • infection (struvite stones)
- hypercalciuria
- increased oxalate
- increased uric acid
Loss of inhibitory factors
- magnesium (forms soluble complex with oxalate)
- citrate (forms soluble complex with calcium)
- pyrophosphate
- glycoprotein

STONE TYPES
1. Calcium Stones
- Account for 80 - 85% of all stones
- Ca2+ oxalate most common, followed by Ca2+ phosphate description
- grey or brown due to hemosiderin from bleeding
- radiopaque
2. Struvite Stones
- Female patients affected twice as often as male patients
- Etiology and pathogenesis
o account for 10% of all stones
o contribute to formation of staghorn calculi
o consist of triple phosphate (calcium, magnesium, ammonium)
o due to infection with urea splitting organisms NH2CONH2 + H2O ––> 2NH3 + CO2
o NH4 alkalinizes urine, thus decreasing solubility
- Common organisms
o Proteus
o Klebsiella
o Pseudomonas
o Providencia
o S. aureus
o not E. coli

Treatment
- Complete stone clearance (ESWL/percutaneous nephrolithotomy)
- Acidify urine, dissolve microscopic fragments
- Antibiotics for 6 weeks
- Follow up urine cultures

3. Uric Acid Stones


- Account for 10% of all stones
- Description and diagnosis
o orange colored gravel, needle shaped crystals
o radiolucent on x-ray
o filling defect on IVP
o Radiopaque on CT scan
o Visualized with ultrasound
Etiology
o hyperuricosuria (urine pH < 5.5)
o secondary to increased uric acid production, or drugs (ASA and probenecid)
o hyperuricemia
o gout
o myeloproliferative disease
o cytotoxic drugs
o defect in tubular NH3 synthesis (ammonia trap for H+)
o dehydration, IBD, colostomy and ileostomy
Treatment
o increase fluid intake
o NaHCO3 (maintain urinary pH no less than 6.5)
o allopurinol
o avoid high protein/purine diet

4. Cystine Stones
- Autosomal recessive defect in small bowel mucosal absorption and renal tubular absorption of dibasic
amino acids
- Seen in children and young adults
- Aggressive stone disease
- Description
o hexagonal on urinalysis
o yellow, hard
o radiopaque (ground glass)
o staghorn or multiple
o decreased reabsorption of “COLA”
o cystine (insoluble in urine); ornithine, lysine, arginine (soluble in urine)

Diagnosis
o amino acid chromatography of urine ––> see COLA in urine
o serum cystine
o Na+ nitroprusside test
Treatment
o greatly increase water intake ––> 3-4 L urine/day
o HCO3–
o decrease dietary protein ––> methionine
o penicillamine chelators ––> 2 g daily, soluble complex formed; use cautiously
o a-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) ––> similar action to penicillamine, less toxic
o captopril (binds cystine)
o Irrigating solutions: N-acetylcysteine (binds cystine), Tromethamine-E

III. COMMON INFECTIONS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM

a. Pyelonephritis

1. Acute Pyelonephritis
- Infection of the renal parenchyma with local and systemic manifestations of infection
- may be classified as uncomplicated or complicated
o uncomplicated: in the absence of conditions predisposing to anatomic or functional impairment of
urine flow
o complicated: occurring in the setting of renal or ureteric stones, strictures, prostatic obstruction
(hypertrophy or malignancy), vesicoureteric reflux, neurogenic bladder, catheters, DM, sickle-
cell hemoglobinopathies, polycystic kidney disease, immunosuppression, and post-renal
transplant
Etiology
- Usually ascending microorganisms, most often bacteria
- in females with uncomplicated pyelonephritis usually E. coli
- causative microorganisms are usually E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Serratia, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus,
and S. aureus
- If S. aureus is found, suspect bacteremic spread from a distant focus (e.g. septic emboli in infective
endocarditis) and suspect (possible multiple intra-renal micro abscesses or perinephric abscess)

Clinical Presentation
- Rapid onset (hours to a day)
- Lethargic and unwell, fever, tachycardia, shaking, chills, nausea and vomiting, myalgias
- Marked CVA or flank tenderness; possible abdominal pain on deep palpation
- Symptoms of lower UTI may be absent (urgency, frequency, dysuria)
- May have symptoms of Gram-negative sepsis Eto answer dun kase ang
Laboratory Investigations tanong ay EXCEPT eh
- Urine dipstick: +ve for leukocytes and nitrites, possible hematuria
- Microscopy: > 5 WBC/HPF in unspun urine or > 10 WBC/HPF in spun urine, bacteria ang ang nakalagay dun
- Gram stain: Gram negative rods, Gram positive cocci ay gram posutive rodes
- Culture: > 105 colony forming units (CFU)/mL in clean catch midstream urine or > 102 CFU/mL in
suprapubic aspirate or catheterized specimen
- CBC and differential: leukocytosis, high % neutrophils, left-shift (increase in band cells - immature
neutrophils)
- Blood cultures: may be positive in 20% of cases, especially in S. aureus infection
- Consider investigation of complicated pyelonephritis:
o if fever, pain, leukocytosis not resolving with treatment within 72 hr, if male patient, or if there is
history of urinary tract abnormalities (abdo/pelvis U/S, CT for renal abscess, spiral CT for
stones, cystoscopy)
Treatment
- Uncomplicated pyelonephritis with mild symptoms
o 14-day course of TMP/SMX or fluoroquinolone or third generation cephalosporin
o Start with IV for several days and then switch to PO (can then be treated as outpatient)
- Patient more than mildly symptomatic or complicated pyelonephritis in the setting of stone obstruction is a
urologic emergency (placing patient at risk of kidney loss or septic shock)
o start broad spectrum IV antibiotics until cultures return (imipenem or meropenem or piperacillin
/tazobactam or ampicillin plus gentamicin) and treat 2-3 weeks
o follow-up cultures 2-4 weeks after stopping treatment
- If no improvement in 48-72 hr, need to continue on IV antibiotics, assess for complicated pyelonephritis or
possible renal or perinephric abscess
Prognosis
- Treated acute pyelonephritis rarely progresses to chronic renal disease
- Recurrent infections often constitute relapse rather then re-infection

2. Chronic Pyelonephritis

- A form of chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis of bacterial origin


- Cortical scarring, tubulointerstitial damage, and calyceal deformities seen
- May be active (persistent infection) or inactive (persistent focal sterile scars post-infection)
- Histologically indistinguishable from many other forms of TIN (severe vesicoureteral reflux, hypertensive
disease, analgesic nephropathy)
- Active chronic pyelonephritis may respond to antibiotics
- Need to rule out TB

IV. RENAL FAILURES

a. Acute Renal Failures

Acute Renal Failure - General Information: Etiology:


- Rapid loss of kidney function͟

1. Pre-Renal Renal Failure:


- Before the Blood Reaches the Kidney (Ie. Dec. Glomerular Perfusion)
o Hypovolemia (Eg. Blood Loss)
o Decreased cardiac output (Eg. Heart Failure)
o Renal artery obstruction (Eg. Embolism)
2. Intra-Renal Renal Failure - The kidney itself is damaged
- Acute glomerular nephritis
- Tubular diseases e.g., acute tubular necrosis
- Interstitial diseases e.g., auto immune disorders such as SLE
- Vascular diseases e.g., polyarteritis nodosa

3. Post-Renal Renal Failure


- Due to outflow obstruction from the kidneys
o Cancer - Bladder / Prostate / Ureteric / Cervical
o Blood clot
o Calculi (Kidney stones - Bilateral)
o Accidental surgical ligation
Clinical Features:
- Uremia - (Fatigue, Malaise, Anorexia, Headache, Nausea, Vomiting)
- Hyperkalemia > Brady-Arrhythmias \
- Fluid Retention > Oedema (Peripheral & Pulmonary)
o RARELY, Hypertension & Cardiac Tamponade.
- Hematuria - Painless (Cancer) or Painful (Stones/LUTS)
- Flank pain (in specific conditions - Particularly Inflammatory or Ischemic)

4 Stages of Chronic Renal Failure


Stage 1 = > 90 ml/min GFR (Normal) plus other signs of renal disease

Stage 2 = 90-60 ml/min GFR

Stage 3 = 60-30 ml/min GFR

Stage 4 = 30-15 ml/min GFR

Stage 5 = <15 ml/min GFR

Clinical Complications of Renal Disease


- General Effects/Problems Encountered in Renal Failure: (Recall the functions of the kidney and then infer
what happens when they are eliminated!)
o Acid Base Balance (Renal Failure > Met. Acidosis)
o Electrolyte Balance (Renal Failure > Na+ & K+ Retention)
o Fluid Balance (Renal Failure > Fluid Overload)
o Dec Erythropoiesis (Renal Failure > Anemia)
o Renin Angiotensin System > Renal Hypertension
o Calcium Metabolism (Renal Failure > Osteoporosis & secondary Hyper-Parathyroidism)
o Uremia
o Dec Urine Output
o Dec Toxin Excretion (Renal Failure > Accumulation of Urea & Creatinine)
Investigations:
- Blood Urea: Creatinine Ratio - Distinguishing Between Intra/Pre/Post-Renal Failure:

Dec U:Cr = Intra Renal (Infection/toxin/Ischemia/Hypoxia/)


PATHOLOGIC KIDNEY!!

However, if:

Inc U:Cr = EITHER Pre Renal ( Hypotension/ Dehydration /Normal Kidney)


OR
Post Renal (BPH/Bladder Stone/Normal Kidney)

Urine Protein:Creatinine Ratio - Is there Proteinuria?

Interpretation:
- Daily Creatinine Excretion is Constant ͘ ͗ : inc P: CR = Inc Protein in Urine = Proteinuria

30-300mg = Microalbuminuria
>300mg = Macroalbuminuria/Proteinuria͟ >3000mg = Nephrotic Syndrome

b. Chronic Renal Failure

- Many etiologies: continuum of progressive nephron loss and declining renal function
- Asymptomatic until severe insufficiency develops
- Regional variation in leading causes worldwide
o In North America: diabetes (> 30%), hypertensive renal disease (23%), chronic GN (10%) (e.g.
IgA nephropathy), polycystic kidney disease (5%)
- Frequently patients present at end-stage with small, contracted kidneys, unknown etiology

Classification
- glomerular: primary or secondary glomerulonephritis
- tubulointerstitial disease (e.g., autoimmune interstitial nephritis)
- vascular (e.g., DM, HTN)
- hereditary (e.g. autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, Alport’s)

INDICATIONS FOR DIALYSIS IN CRF


- Maybe same as ARF
- more commonly = “dwindles”
o anorexia, nausea, vomiting, severe fatigue, pruritus, muscle cramps
o dialyze when creatinine clearance < 10% of normal (< 10 mL/min)
- diabetics less tolerant of uremia, dialyze when creatinine clearance < 15% of normal (< 15 mL/min)
- Prognosis: all with progressive renal failure progress to dialysis/transplant
