TUBULOINTERSTITIAL DISEASETUBULOINTERSTITIAL DISEASE
• Most tubular diseases involve the interstitium• 2 distinct types of diseases
a) inflammatory diseasesi) “tubulointerstitial nephritis”
b) ischemic or toxic tubular injury i) ATNii) acute renal failure
![Page 15: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tubulointerstitial NephritisTubulointerstitial Nephritis (TIN) (TIN)• Inflammatory disease of Interstitium/tubules• Glomerulus not involved at all or only late in disease• Infections induced TIN – “pyelonephritis”• Non infection – interstitial nephritis
a) Caused by:i) drugsii) metabolic disorders (hypokalemia)iii radiation injuryiv) immune reactions
![Page 16: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• TIN divided into 2 categories, regardless of etiology
a) - acuteb) - chronic
![Page 17: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Acute PyelonephritisAcute Pyelonephritis
Kidney/renal pelvis (distal to collecting ducts) Caused by bacterial infections
(lower UTI) – cystitis, urethritis and prostatitis upper UTI – (pyelonephritis) both tracts
Principle causative bacteria are gram - rods
a) E. coli (most common), Proteus, enterobacter, Klebsiella
![Page 18: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• 2 routes bacteria can reach kidney
a) blood stream (not very common)
b) lower urinary tract (ascending infections)
i) - catheterizationii) - cystoscopy
Acute PyelonephritisAcute Pyelonephritis
![Page 19: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Acute PyelonephritisAcute Pyelonephritis
Most commonly affect females (in absence of instrumentation)a) close proximity to rectumb) shorter urethra
Urine sterile, flushing keeps bladder sterile Obstruction increased incidence of UTI
i) prostate hypertrophyii) uterine prolapseiii) UT obstructions
![Page 20: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Incompetent vesicoureteral orificea) one way valve (at level of bladder)
b) incompetence – reflux of urine into ureters – vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
c) –usually congenital defect – 30-50% of young children with UTI
• spinal cord injury can produce a flaccid bladder (residual volume remain in urinary tract) – favors bacterial
growth
![Page 21: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Diabetes increases risk of serious complications
i) septicemiaii) recurrence of infectioniii) diabetic neuropathy –
dysfunction of bladder• pregnancy
i) 6% develop pyuria; 40- 60% develop UTI if not treated
![Page 22: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Chronic pyelonephritis and Chronic pyelonephritis and reflux nephropathyreflux nephropathy
Interstitial inflammation with scarring of renal parenchyma
Important cause of chronic renal failure
Two forms:
a) - Chronic obstructive pyelonephritis
b) - Chronic reflux-associated pyelonephritis
![Page 24: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
•Can be bilateral (congenital disease)• Obstruction predisposes kidney to infection• recurrent infections on obstructive foci causes scarring – chronic pyelonephritis!
Chronic obstructive Chronic obstructive pyelonephritispyelonephritis
![Page 25: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
chronic reflux-associated pyelonephritis (reflux nephropathy)
• More common form of chronic pyelonephritis
![Page 26: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
reflux nephropathy
Occurs from superimposed of a UTI on vesiculouretheral and intrarenal reflux
a) reflux may be bi- or unilateral
i) unilateral causes atrophy
ii) bilateral can cause chronic renal insufficiency
iii) diffuse or patchy - Unclear if sterile vesiculouretheral disease
causes renal damage
![Page 27: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hallmark is scarring involving pelvis/calyces, leading to papillary blunting and deformities
• Renal papillae – area of kidney where opening from collecting ducts enters renal pelvis
• Kidneys are asymmetrically contracted
reflux nephropathy
![Page 28: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS
![Page 29: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS
![Page 30: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Signs and Symptoms:
a) hypertension
b) seen following normal physical exam
c) slowly progressive late in disease
d) can cause loss of concentrating mechanisms (if bilateral and progressive)
i) - polyuria
ii) - nocturia
![Page 31: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Drug-induced interstitial nephritis• Acute TIN – seen with synthetic penicillins, diuretics (thiazides), NSAID
a) disease begins ~15 days (2-40 range)i) feverii) rash (25% cases)iii) renal findings: hematuria, leukouriaiv) increased serum creatinine or acute
renal failure with oliguria (50% of cases)
![Page 32: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Drug-induced interstitial nephritis
Immune mechanism is indicated (suggested)
a) IgE increased (hypersensitivity – Type I)
Injury produced by IgE and cell-mediated immune reactions
![Page 33: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Analgesic NephropathyAnalgesic Nephropathy• Patients who consume large quantities of analgesics may develop chronic interstitial nephritis, often associated with renal papillary necrosis• Usually result from consumption of a mixture for long periods of time:
a) - aspirinb) - caffeinec) - acetaminophend) - codeinee) - phenacetin
![Page 34: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Primary pathogenesis isa) papillary necrosis followed byb) interstitial nephritis is secondaryc) acetaminophen – oxidative damaged) aspirin inhibits prostaglandins – vasoconstrictione) all the above leads to papillary
ischemia• Chronic renal failure, hypertension and anemia• Complications may be incidence of “transitional cell carcinoma” of renal pelvis or bladder.

ATNATN (Clinical entity)
Destruction of tubular epithelial cells Acute suppression of renal function Most common cause of acute renal
failure(ARF):
Acute suppression of renal function , oliguria ( 400 ml/day)
![Page 37: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Other causes of ARF
b) severe glomerular disease (RPGN
c) diffuse vascular disease (Polyarteritis nodosa)d) diffuse cortical necrosise) interstitial nephritis (acute drug- induced)f) acute papillary necrosis
![Page 38: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Is reversible and arise from:a) severe traumab) septicemia (shock and hypotension) c) ATN associated with shock –
“ischemic” - d) mismatched blood transfusion and other hemodynamic problems as well as myoglobinuria all reversible ischemic
ATNe) nephrotoxic ATN – variety of poisonsi) - heavy metals (Hg)ii) - CCl4iii) - etc.
![Page 39: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Occurs frequently
a) since it is reversible, proper management means difference
between recovery and death 2 major problems are:
a) - tubular injuries
b) - blood flow disturbances
![Page 40: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
•Major disturbances:
a) Change charge in tubules (mainly -) i) Na+ - K+ - ATPase cause
less Na+ reabsorption and traps Na+, within tubule with more distal tube delivery of Na+ which causes vasoconstriction (feedback)
![Page 41: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Treatment protocol
1) - initiating phase 2) - maintenance phase 3) - recovery phase
![Page 42: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Initiating Initiating phasephase
• Last about 36 hours. Incited by:a) medical, surgical, obstetric event
i) slight oliguria (transient decrease in blood flow)
ii) rise in BUN
![Page 43: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Anywhere from 2-6 daysa) sharp decline in urine output (50-
400 ml/day)i) may last few days to 3 weeks
b) fluid overload, uremiac) may die from poor management
Maintenance phaseMaintenance phase
![Page 44: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Recovery phaseRecovery phase
Steady increase in urine output (up to 3L/day)
Electrolyte imbalances may continue Increased vulnerability to infection Because of these, about 25% patients
die in this phase
![Page 45: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Diseases of Blood VesselsDiseases of Blood Vessels
• Nearly all diseases of kidney involve blood vessels.• Kidneys involved in pathogenesis of essential and secondary hypertension• Systemic vascular disease (i.e. arteritis) also involve kidney
![Page 46: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Benign nephrosclerosisBenign nephrosclerosis
• Renal changes associated with benign hypertension
a) always associated with hyaline arteriosclerosis
• Kidneys are atrophic• Many renal diseases cause hypertension which in turn may lead to benign nephrosclerosis.• Therefore this disease seen simultaneously with other diseases of kidney
![Page 47: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• This disease by itself usually does not cause severe damage
a) mild oliguriab) loss (slight) of concentrating
mechanismc) decreases GFRd) mild degree of proteinuria is a
constant finding• These patients usually die from hypertensive heart disease or cerebrovascular disease rather than from renal disease
![Page 48: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Malignant hypertensionMalignant hypertension
• Less common than benign• May arise de novo (without preexisting hypertension) or may arise suddenly in patient with mild hypertension
![Page 51: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Factors:
a) initial event – some form of vascular damage to kidney
b) result is increased permeability of small blood vessels to fibrinogen and other plasma proteins, endothelial injury and platelet deposits
c) This leads to appearance of fibroid necrosis in small arteries and
arterioles and intravascular thrombosis
![Page 52: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
d) platelets (platelet derived growth factors) and plasma cause intimal hyperplasia of vessels resulting in hyperplastic arteriosclerosis, which is typical of malignant hypertension
e) narrowing of renal afferent arteriole stimulates angiotensin II production (ischemic-induced) with aldosterone secretion increases
![Page 53: IN THE NAME OF GOD RENAL PATHOLOGY Dr. Z. Vakili](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ddb5503460f94ad2097/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• Diastolic pressure > 130 mmHg, papilledema, encephalopathy, CV disorders, renal failure
• 90% deaths due to uremia
