Q

Newborn Cr 83. Is that mother’s Cr or baby’s?

A

Mother’s.

- 2nd half of gestation fetus + mom Cr equilibrate
Thus birth Cr= mother
- usually see drop by 1 wk
- GFR estimated by serum Cr
- Rise in > 20= RF
- vs BUN affect hydration

List secondary causes of HTN head to toe:
**Head: ICP, OSA Vascular: **Coarc, aortic valve dx, renal artery dx, umbilical a. cath with thrombosis, NF, vasculitis, atherosclerosis Renal: **renal a. or vein thrombosis, RF, renal tumour, **parenchymal (GN, PCKD, RF) Endo: **pheo (5% of NF pt), neuroblastoma, hyper-aldosteronism, **CAH, **cushing, **hyper thyroid, hyper parathyroid, GH Drugs: **OCP, alcohol, nasal decongestant, **steroid, **stimulant Other: white coat
110
Approach to HTN
1. confirm 2. BP R/O coarc 3. U/A - renal 4. W/U: BUN, Cr, lytes, CBC, renal US w/ doppler 5. Screen end organ if > 95% tile= ECG, Echo, retinal exam 6. Asymptomatic and no end organ find= lifestyle, reduce wt, diet, exercise, less salt, no smoking ``` If persist x 4-6 month or End-organ, symptomatic= - **ACEI/ARB, CCB, beta blocker 8. HTN Crisis= ABC, 2 IV, lower BP max 25% over first 8h - Labetalol - Hydralazine ```
111
6 y.o. child with HTN and persistent hypokalemia. Likely dx? - Hyperaldosterone - Bartter syn - Addison - Renal vein thrombosis - Coarc
Hyperaldosteronism VS. Bartter= Low K, met alkalosis but not usually HTN Addison= not enough adrenal hormone= poor steroid= low BP, high K and low Na
112
Hyperaldosteronism Classic PPT
HTN + Hypokalemia ``` - excess aldosterone = dump K but keep Na= HTN - etiology: > aldosterone producing adenoma > b/l idiopathic hyperaldosteronism > unnatural adrenal hyperplasia > familial hyperaldosteronism ``` Plasma renin low Plasma aldosterone: renin (HIGH= good screen) Tx underlying cause.
113
7 y.o. acute hematuria. Well. HTN. Initial Med to treat HTN: - IV nitroprusside - Salt and water restriction - SL Nifedipine
S/L Nifedipine
114
Name 3 drugs and route to treat HTN emergency. List one AE for each.
1. IV labetolol Or IV esmolol > *Bradycardia, Blurry vision 2. IV Hydralazine > palpitation, *SOB 3. IV Sodium Nitroprusside > *CP, palpitation 4. IV nicardipine > *tachycardia, palpitation NOTE: you can put palpitation for any of these except beta blocker.
115
Renal vein thrombosis. Etiology: - UVC - IDM with polycythemia and dehydration.
IDM w/ polycythemia + dehydration. ``` Causes of renal vein thrombosis: 1. Newborn: > dehydration > shock > maternal diabetes ``` ``` 2. Older: > nephrotic syn > cyanotic heart dx > hypercoag. state > sepsis ``` PPT: - sudden hematuria - +/- flank mass - HTN - oliguria
116
THINK of something other than nephrotic syndrome IF:
- < 1.5 y.o. or > 10 y.o. - chronic dx - HTN - ARF - extra-renal manifestation - (+) FHX
117
Initial W/U and Tx for Nephrotic Syn
- CBC - Lytes - BUN - Cr - albumin - glucose - cholesterol - ANA (if < 2 or > 10) - Uri (dip and Pro:Cr ratio) - Thinking ahead: VZV status, Hep B, Hep C serology, HIV, C3, C4 Tx: Steroids x 6 weeks Edema= Albumin/Lasix, Fluid + salt restrict
118
If steroid dependent or steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. What do we do?
- Prednisone - Cyclophosphamide - Consider MMF or Cyclosporine - Bx
119
Most common cause of microscopic hematuria?
Idiopathic hypercalciuria and for gross= UTI #1.
120
How can you tell different GN apart that have systemic involvement?
> Multi- Sys= Lupus, ANCA vasculitides > Only Pul= Granulomatosis with polyangitis, Anti-GBM dx, Lupus, HSP, IE, Pul edema
121
When should your C3 normalize after PSGN?
8 weeks | F/U BW then...
122
How do you treat PSGN?
- supportive - fluid - HTN (tx; resolves by 2wk) Expectation: - C3 back to N in 8 wk - Proteinuria proteinuria usually gone by 4 month
123
T or F: 1% of all pt with HSP go on to develop ESRD.
True
124
T or F: ANCA dx have multi system ppt?
True i.e. granulomatous w/ polyangiitis, microscopic, renal limited vasculitis etc. - fever, migratory, arthralgia, wt loss - skin, ENT, pul etc.
125
For HTN you need all BUT: - ht - sex - age - wt
Weight
126
Most common cause of HTN > 6 y.o.
Primary HTN | RF: fhx, obesity.
127
Most common cause of secondary HTN
Renal: parenchymal or renovascular.
128
Post solid transplant. What infections do they get?
Kidney transplant= high risk of UTI Think Viral: - CMV, VZV - EBV Think Opportunistic: - Pneumocystis jiroveci Think: Normal infections
129
How often should you follow simple kidney cyst?
Annual Simple = well defined, < 1 cm, < 3 total, unilateral, slow growth CT if Ca2+, thick wall
130
Prenatal signs of PUV:
- severe b/l hydronephrosis - echogenic kidney cysts - large bladder: keyhole sign - oligohydraminos (if severe obstruction)
131
Note: polycystic kidney disease require screening for cerebral aneurysms?
True MRA every 2-3 yr.
