2. Failure to clear wastes (Urea, Creatinine)
Term
Early renal Failure
Definition
when over 50% loss in funct. renal mass lost
about 2/3 lost
lose ability to Concetrate
- see Polyuria w/o azotemia
more urine but no increase in creatinine or Urea
Term
Later renal failure
Definition
3/4 of kidney lost
fail to clear wastes
see Polyuria w/ Azotemia
More urine with increased creatinie and urea in blood
Term
End stage renal disease
Definition
NO urine and high Azotemia (cant excrete)
Term
USG
Definition
Reflects Tubulointerstial problems
Term
Acute Renal Fail
Definition
Abrupt - hours to days
reversible or irreversible --> decreased GFR
- Toxicants, Ischemia, Infections
Term
Acute renal Failure features
Definition
No compensation by other nephrons (they dont have time to hypertrophy)
Volume of urine Severely DECREASED - oliguric or anuria

Urine osmolality is variable b/c it depends on what was in bladder before insult
Term
Azotemia
Definition
Increase in non-protein nitrogenous substances
Urea or Creatinine

When see increases means that there is decreased RENAL EXCRETIOn
Term
Azotemia
Definition
Indicator of GLOMERULAR DZ
Term
Azotemia vs. USG
Definition
USG - Indicates Tubulointerstital dz
Azotemia - indicates Glomerular Dz
Term
Uremia
Definition
Is the clinical signs associated with renal failure and is not Azotemia
Term
Urea
Definition
Ammonium form intestine and tissue break down --> goes to liver and is converted to Urea

Freely Filtered at Glomeruli
Some reabsorbed - not as good of marker
Excreted in feces and Urine
Term
Creatinine
Definition
Byproduct of Muscles --> into blood --> freely filtered at glomerulus

NOT reabsorbed so better marker of GRF
Term
Causes of Azotemia
Definition
- Decreased Excretion
- Increased Production of UN/Crea
Term
Increased Production of Urea/Creatinine
Definition
- Less significant cause of Azotemia
Can be from:
Increased protein in diet
Intestinal Hemorrhage
Increased protein catabolism

Decreased excretion of Urea/Crea
Definition
Most common cause of Azotemia
prerenal, Renal, Postrenal
Term
Prerenal Azotemia
Definition
- Decreased renal plasma flow
Term
Renal Azotemia
Definition
Loss of nephrons or vasculture in kidneys
Term
Post renal Azotemia
Definition
- Rupture- Urine leaking out and getting resorbed into blood
- Obstruction

Leakage of urine into body (trauma)
Term
Prerenal Azotemia
Definition
USG greater than
>1.030 - dog
>1.040 - cat
>1.025 - LA

there would be a decrease in GFR -->
assumes NO extrarenal factis affecting the renal concetrating ability
Term
renal Azotemia
Definition
Term
Post renal
Definition
USG depends on the bladder
NEED CLINICAL SIGNS TO DETERMINE
Term
If Pre-renal azotemia is from Increased Urea/Crea production
Definition
USG is variable and
Azotemia is MILD
Term
Renal Azotemia from EXTRARENAL DISEASE
Definition
- Distal Nephron is unresponsive to ADH (cant reabsorb water)
- Solute Overload (osmtic Diuresis
- Decreased medullary hypertonicity (Prolonged hyopnatremia, loop diuretics, Decreased UREA (liver dz) solute overload, prolonged diuresis) __> All cause inability of kidneys to concentrate
Term
Disorders that cause Decreased Urea synth
Definition
Liver Disease (hepatocellular dz, portosystemic shunt)
Urea Cycle enzyme problem

This is a problem b/c 50% of the kidneys interstital tonicity comes from UREA --> will have decreased concentrating ability
Term
Problem with decreased Urea
Definition
Liver Failure --> Decreased Urea --> Decreased Tonicity of kidney --> inability to concentrate urine

50% of the kidneys interstital tonicity comes from UREA --> will have decreased concentrating ability
Term
Disorders that cause dec. urea excretion
Definition
disorders that impair prox tubular reabsorption or urea --> Glucosuria
Central or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Term
Increased Creatinine [ ]
Definition
usually from kidney failure not being able to clear
Muscle damage + renal failure can do it too (tied-up horses
Term
Creatine is affected by less factors than Urea (and urea is reabsorbed)
Definition
1. Urea resporption INCREASES with hypovolemia b/c decreased flow rate (sits in tubules longer)

2. Increased GI Protein --> Increased urea synthesis
Term
If the Urea: Creatinine ratio is Increased (more urea)
Definition
Most likely a PRE-RENAL azotemia
-- Azotemia reflects a glomerular problem (NOT tubular)
Term
Analyze Urine
Definition
Do within 1 hr of collection
- things deteriate
Bacteria grow
Crystals form or dissolve
Term
Urinalysis - Composition of Urine depends on
Definition
1. Plasma volume and content presented to kidneys
2. renal Functions (filtration, resorb, secret)
3. Material added w/in urinary tract
Term
Urine Color
Definition
Color does not correlate to Concentration
Term
Red - brown Urine
Definition
Causes
Hematuria - RBC
hemoglobinuria - Hemoblobin
myoglobinuria- Muscle

Orange tinge from Billirubin
Term
What makes Urine Cloudy
Definition
Cells
Crystals
Casts

NOT PROTEIN - not a suspended particle
Term
Solute Concentration
Definition
Depends on water intake
Use USG to estimate solute concentration
Term
USG
Definition
Usually a good estimate of osmolality
Can be flasely INCREASED with high protein or Glucose
Term
Inappropriate USG's for dehydrated animals
Definition
<1.030 in Dogs
<1.040 in cats

Should be able to concentrate more than that
Term
DIp stick solute [ ] reaction
Definition
USG determines the significance of [solute]
+ chemical reaction means it is present,
Then have to weigh the reaction with the USG findings
Term
Protein in Urine
Definition
Very little in health
May see FALSE increase when pH is 8-9
Term
Proteinuria
Definition
Prerenal (Overflow) -->
1. Hemoglobin,
2. Myoglobin,
3. Immunoglobin lt chain

Glomerular - Leakey filtration barrier

Tubular - When the small amount of protein that is filtered out doesnt get reabsorbed by tubules (MILD)

Hemorrhagic or inflammatory - anywhere in tract
Term
Glucose in urine
Definition
Passes freely through glomerlus but is 100% resorbed by tubules in health

Renal threshold - the level that the renal tubules can no longer resorb glucose
Term
Intereference of Glucose in Urine
Definition
Bleach -->False Increase
Cold Sample --> False Decrease
Term
Causes of Glucosuria
Definition
1. If glucose in blood is high (Glucosuria) ex. Diabetes MEllitus

2. Renal (tubular DZ) --> glucose not resorbed
Term
Ketones
Definition
Produced from lipid metabolism

Acetoacidic acid or acetate , not ßHB
Term
Ketonuria
Definition
Occurs with lipid metabolism
Ketones are NEGATIVELY charged do when excreted pull out Na+ and K+

Ketones are also acid so can cause Ketoacidosis
Term
HEme in Urine
Definition
anything with peroxidase activity can cause.
Term
If get Heme + reaction can be
Definition
1. Hematuria - RBC
1. Hemoglobinuria - intravascular hemolysis (anemia, Pink plasma)
3. Myoglobinuria - from muscle damage
4. Peroxidase activity = H2O2 or bleach
Term
Dehydration leading to Pre-Renal Azotemia
Definition
2 mechanisms
1. Dehydration --> dec plasma flow --> drc GFR

2. Dehydration --> Inc. Urea Resorption in kidney b/c sitting in tubules longer
Term
When USG increases with Dehydration
Definition
Diarrhea --> Dec. Blood Volume --> Increase ADH--> Collecting Tubule permability --> More H20 absorption --> inc USG (more concentrated)

This is how you want it to respond
Term
Chronic Renal Failure / Protein Losing Nephropathy Hallmakrs
Definition
Azotemia
Isosthenuria (failure to concentrate urine
Proteinuria
Term
Azotemia from renal failure
Definition
Decrease REnal Functional mass --> Dec GFR (b/c less glomerular --> dec clearance
Term
low USG with renal failure
Definition
Dec. Renal Functional mass --> inability to concentrate urine
Term
2 mechanisms of Glucosuria

Term
Hypostenuria mech from central diabetes insip
Definition
Hypothalmus/Pituitary problem --> Dec ADH --> CT impermibility --> dec water resorbtion --> USG < 1.007
Term
Urine Protein:Creatinine Ration
Definition
normally <1 b/c less protein than creatinine
Term
Nephrotic Syndrome
Definition
Have a Protein Losing Nephropathy
-Effusion/Edema
-Hyperchloesterolemia
- Hypoalbuminemia
Term
Glomerluar Proteinuria
Definition
ONLY only one with Hypoalbuminemia and can be marked
Term
Proteinuric w/o Azotemia
Definition
With a glomerular proteinuria the glomerular are leaky so albumin leaks through but, urea and creatinine leak through just fine too so no increase
