Definition
Na/K pump med
Term

ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II antagonists, Renin inhibitors
Term
What HTN drugs are protective of the kidney for diabetics beyond what the BP drop alone would imply?
Definition
Renin-Angiotensin acting drugs
Term
What HTN tx may initially work but then rebound back to previous levels?
Definition
diuretics
Term
What are thiazides for?
Definition
diuretics used for renal, cardiac, and BP tx.
Term
Name two loop diuretics

Name two potassium sparing diuretics
Definition
spironolactone, triamterene

Definition
a weak diuretic to treat glaucoma or disc edema
Term
What are osmotic diuretics used for?

creatinine
Term
What is CAPD?
Definition
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

peritoneal dialysis has fewer than hemodialysis
Term
What are the three drugs used to prevent organ rejection in renal transplantation?
Definition
corticosteroid, calcineurin inhibitor, anti-metabolite
Term
What does calcineurin inhibitor do? How does it work?
Definition
Prevent organ rejection; decrease T-cell IL-2 production
Term
What do anti-metabolite drugs do?
Definition
Prevent organ rejection; stops lymphocyte proliferation and activation
Term
Name 3 risks of long term corticosteroid use
Definition
cataract, glaucoma, papilledema

Term
What is ATN?
Definition
acute tubular necrosis
Term
What is damaged in ATN, what is the result?
Definition
epithelial cells drop ion transport; endothelins increase, nitric oxide is reduced, PG's are reduced --> vasoconstriction
Term
What happens to serum levels in ATN?
Definition
decreased blood volume, increased waste in blood
Term
What are the main s/sx of malignant HTN?
Definition
ocular anomalies due to increased BP
Term
What dz is caused by fibrosis induced stenosis of tubules?
Definition
malignant HTN
Term
What is released in malignant HTN that exacerbates things?
Definition
renin --> vasoconstriction
Term
What do steroids do in ARF?
Definition
cause it, by inhibiting PG synth --> vasoconstriction
Term

Term
Name 3 tubule and interstitial dz's
Definition
TIN, pyelonephritis, ATN
Term
What are some DDx's of Nephritic vs Nephrotic syndrome?
Definition
Nephrotic: Massive Proteinura, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipiduria, pitting edema

Nephritic synd: hematuria and lesser proteinuria, oliguria, HTN due to salt/fluid retention,
Term
What are some similarities between Nephrotic and Nephritic?
Definition
both have edema that starts at eyelids, both have protienuria though nephrotic more severe.
Term
What presents with HTN, nephrotic or nephritic syndrome?
Definition
Nephritic
Term
What tx may cause steroid dependence?
Definition
Nephrotic syndrome
Term
What are two RAS related tx for nephrotic syndrome
Definition

Term
Does nephrotic or nephritic syndrome require thrombo-prophylaxis?
Definition
nephrotic
Term
Does strep infection precede nephritic or nephrotic syndrome?
Definition
Nephritic

Definition
Dense deposit dx
Term
How is MPGN classified?
Definition
3 different subtypes
Term
Does MPGN cause nephrotic or nephritic syndrome?
