DISEASES OF THE KIDNEY
Glomerular - glomerulonephritis
Tubular
tubulo interstitial nephritis,
pyelonephritis
Interstitium
Vascular diseases – nephrosclerosis,
benign and malignant
All forms of chronic renal disease
ultimately to destroy all four components
of the kidney - CRF and end-stage kidneys
RENAL DISEASES
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Oliguria (< 500ml of urine/day), anuria (< 50 ml/day)
Proteinuria (normal protein (Tamm-Horsfall
proteins) excretion in urine - < 150 mg/day)
Selective proteinuria – clearance of low molecular
weight proteins - albumin.
Non-selective proteinuria - clearance of high MW
proteins – albumin, globulins, IgG, IgM
Hematuria – macroscopic/microscopic
Edema
OTHER RENAL DISEASES
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Renal tubular diseases
polyuria, nocturia, electrolyte disorders
Urinary tract infection – kidney (pyelonephritis),
bladder (cystitis)
symptomatic/asymptomatic bacteriuria,
pyuria
Nephrolithiasis (renal stones)
renal colic, hematuria
NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Proteinuria? – disruption of glomerular basement
membrane
Hypoalbuminemia – due to proteinuria
Edema – due to decreased plasma oncotic pressure
due to ?
Hyperlipidemia and lipiduria – due to increased
lipoprotein synthesis
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
Oliguria and azotemia – renal inflammation
Hypertension – decreased clearance of
sodium and water
Hematuria – leakage of blood into Bowman’s
capsule

diseases. GFR < 20-25% of normal
