Term
prerenal azotemia mechanism
Definition
decreased blood flow results in decreased GFR, azotemia and oliguria; reabsorption of fluid and BUN ensures; tubular function remains intact
Term

Term
mechanism of post renal azotemia labs
Definition
during early stage of obstruction, increased tubular pressure "forces" BUN into the blood, tubular function remains intact' with longstanding obstruction, tubular damage ensues, resulting in decreased reabsorption of BUN, decreased reabsorption of Na nd inability to concentrate urine (urine ism <500)

Term
mechanism of DM glomerulonephritis
Definition
high serum glucose leads to non enzymatic glycosylation of the vascular basement membrane
Term
mechanism of microalbuminuria in DM glomerulopathy
Definition
glomerular efferent is more affected leading to high glomerular filtration pressure leading to hyper filtration injury
