External Anatomy of the Kidney01:21

External Anatomy of the Kidney

5.1K
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

1.1K
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Nephrons

9.8K
The kidneys are intricate organs with millions of working units known as nephrons. Each nephron features two major structures: the renal corpuscle, which facilitates blood plasma filtration, and the renal tubule, which handles the glomerular filtrate. Blood supply is directly linked to the nephrons. The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, a capillary network, and the Bowman's capsule, a double-walled epithelial structure that encases the glomerulus. The filtering of blood plasma...

Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations

1.1K
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Nephrotic Syndrome III : Nursing Management

493
Nursing management for nephrotic syndrome adapts as the disease progresses, with strategies evolving to address advancing symptoms and complications.Early-Stage Management In the early stages, nursing interventions for nephrotic syndrome resemble those used in managing acute glomerulonephritis, focusing on symptom monitoring, fluid balance, and managing mild to moderate edema.Vital Signs: Regularly monitor blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature to promptly identify...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

367
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Summary

Subcutaneous fat necrosis in newborns is usually benign but can lead to hypercalcemia and kidney issues. Early monitoring of calcium levels is crucial to prevent serious complications in affected infants.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal dermatology
  • Pediatric nephrology
  • Clinical pathology

Background:

  • Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFN) is a rare panniculitis characterized by inflammation of subcutaneous adipose tissue.
  • While typically self-limiting, SCFN can present with rare but significant complications, necessitating clinical vigilance.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a neonate diagnosed with SCFN.
  • The infant developed hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis secondary to the skin condition.

Findings:

  • Hypercalcemia associated with SCFN has an unclear pathogenesis.
  • Nephrocalcinosis, a consequence of hypercalcemia, carries the risk of progressing to chronic kidney disease.

Implications:

  • Clinicians must recognize SCFN as a potential risk factor for hypercalcemia in neonates.
  • Serial monitoring of serum and urinary calcium levels for up to six months post-lesion onset is recommended.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management of hypercalcemia are vital to avert severe outcomes.
