Extractions: Discussion Back to Home This woman has generalized edema as noted by gain in weight and swelling of the face, legs, and hands. When fluid retention and edema occur (expansion of the interstitial component of the extracellular fluid volume), three possibilities immediately come to mind: congestive heart failure (CHF), cirrhosis of the liver, and the nephrotic syndrome. Less likely considerations are idiopathic cyclic edema, often characterized by abrupt weight changes correlating with the menstrual cycle, and hypothyroidism where brawny swelling can be mistaken for pitting edema. Venous or lymphatic obstruction in the legs can be ruled out by the presence of facial and hand edema too. Good exercise tolerance and lack of dyspnea or fatigue on exertion tend to exclude CHF. Further, there is no history of congenital heart disease, acute rheumatic fever, hypertension, or murmurs, which might be expected in a young woman with CHF. Absence of drug or alcohol abuse, and no history of jaundice make severe liver disease unlikely. Tolerance to cold, normal bowel habits, and absence of other related symptoms refute thyroid hypofunction; cyclic premenstrual edema is denied by the history. nocturia is a common manifestation of edema from any cause, and relates to more effective renal perfusion in the reclining position. Foamy urine occurs in patients with massive proteinuria. So far, then, the evidence points to the kidney as the source of her illness.

Extractions: SEPTEMBER, 1997 Good morning, Im Vivette DAgati, Director of Renal Pathology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, and I have been given the honor of interviewing Dr. Conrad Pirani for this Video Legacy series of the International Society of Nephrology. CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: Yes, because really if you think about it, the urinary sediment, as Sternheimer said many years ago, is much more likely to give you an inkling of the type of disease which affects the kidneys. In other words, if you see red blood cells, the chances are the disease is in the glomeruli, if you see white blood cells, the chances are the disease is in the interstitium and if it is tubular cells that means there is degeneration of tubular cells that you may see at times in the nephrotic syndrome, there are oval fat bodies at times in acute tubular necrosis there are severely damaged tubular cells. Now renal functional tests will not tell you anything about the type of disease. Theyll tell you about the overall function but qualitatively these tests are not very helpful. VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: VD: CP: Well, once the biopsy was given to me for "interpretation", which Im sure was often wrong in the first year or two years, obviously contact with Kark and Muehrcke became very close and actually that is one of the most satisfactory things in renal biopsy work - that the contact with the clinician is very close. Ive found that the clinical nephrologist still today have an active interest in renal pathology - something which Im not sure is true in many other fields of pathology.

Each kidney is made of more than a million units called nephrons. Each nephron has a tuft of blood vessels called a glomerulus, which is surrounded by a Bowman's Capsule. Together, these structures filter blood and form urine. Minimal change disease is one cause of nephrotic syndrome . It is named "minimal change" because the nephrons appear totally normal under a light microscope. The condition is only seen using an electron microscope, which reveals changes in the Bowman's Capsule in the nephrons. Urine tests also show high protein levels. Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Extractions: URINARY AND MALE GENITAL In males, the genitourinary system serves functions in both reproduction and excretion. The sections below discuss the system organ by organ, starting with the urethra and proceeding upward to the kidneys. If you are not familiar with the anatomy of the male genitourinary tract (bladder, seminal vesicles, testes, prostate, urethra, etc.), consult your text or other diagram. The prostate is located anterior to the rectum at the base of the bladder, and the urethra runs through it. The seminal vesicles are located posterior and superior to the prostate. An enlarged prostate compresses the urethra and results in difficulties in urination (dribbling, hesitancy, feeling of urgency). An enlarged prostate can be palpated upon rectal examination due to the proximity of these two structures. It is difficult to feel the prostate by abdominal exam, since the pubic bone is in the way.

Extractions: Among the more serious KIDNEY DISEASES are glomerulonephritis, nephrosis, and pyelonephritis. Of the many observed forms of glomerulonephritis, most show evidence of deposits of antibody-antigen complexes in the glomeruli, the kidney's filtering units; thus one common form of the disease occurs two to three weeks after an infection of the throat or skin with streptococci. Most cases are temporary but a few become chronic, leading to kidney failure and UREMIA. Nephrosis, or nephrotic syndrome , is an outpouring of protein into the urine due to glomeruli damage. It is not itself a disease but a symptom observed at some time in the course of chronic glomerulonephritis, multiple myeloma, lupus erythematosus, or other serious diseases. Pyelonephritis is a serious infection of kidney tissue that can result in permanent damage if not treated promptly. It usually results from bacterial infections of the BLADDER (see CYSTITIS) or of the URETER, the tube ascending from the bladder to the kidney.
