A frontal section through kidney reveals two distinct regions: R enal cortex : superficial, light red region R enal medulla : deep, darker reddish-brown and consists of several cone-shaped renal pyramids. B ase of each pyramid faces renal cortex, and its apex, called a renal papilla, points toward the renal hilum . 3 ANATOMY OF KIDNEY
R enal cortex is extending from renal capsule to bases of renal pyramids and into the spaces between them and divided into outer-cortical zone and inner-juxtamedullary zone. Renal columns of Bertini : P ortions of renal cortex that extend between renal pyramids are called RENAL PARENCHYMA : renal cortex and renal pyramids of renal medulla. Within the parenchyma, functional units of the kidney-microscopic structures called nephrons. 4 ANATOMY OF KIDNEY

Filtrate by nephrons drains into large papillary ducts . P apillary ducts drain into cuplike structures called minor and major calyces. Each kidney has 8 to 18 minor calyces and 2 or 3 major calyces. A minor calyx receives filtrate from the papillary ducts of one renal papilla and delivers it to a major calyx. 6 ANATOMY OF KIDNEY
Once the filtrate enters the calyces it becomes urine because no further reabsorption can occur. From the major calyces, urine drains into a single large cavity called the renal pelvis and then out through the ureter to the urinary bladder. 7 ANATOMY OF KIDNEY
Structural and functional units of the kidneys Over 1 million Responsible for forming urine Consist of Renal corpuscle: Knot of capillaries called Glomerulus Renal tubule: PCT DLOH ALOH DCT CD 8 NEPHRONS
9 FUNCTIONS OF NEPHRON
Consists of an anastomosing network of capillaries lined by fenestrated endothelium invested by two layers of epithelial cells. Visceral epithelial cells Parietal epithelium 10 STRUCTURE OF GLOMERULUS
Visceral epithelial cells (podocytes ) : incorporated into and become an intrinsic part of the capillary wall, separated from endothelial cells by a BM. Parietal epithelium : situated on the Bowman capsule, lines urinary space in which plasma filtrate first collects. STRUCTURE OF GLOMERULUS
The glomerular capillary wall is the filtering membrane and consists of Fenestrated endothelial cells : with each fenestra being about 70 to 100 nm in diameter . Glomerular basement membrane (GBM ) Podocytes 12 Glomerular filtration barrier
Glomerular basement membrane (GBM) : Consist of 3 layers Lamina rara interna : inner thin layer Lamina densa : thick layer Lamina rara externa: outer dense layer Podocytes processes embedded in BM Adjacent foot processes of podocytes are separated by 20- to 30-nm–wide filtration slits.
GBM consists of collagen (mostly type IV), laminin, polyanionic proteoglycans (mostly heparan sulfate) & several other glycoproteins. Type IV collagen forms a network to which other glycoproteins attach. 14 GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE
Monomer of this network is a triple-helical molecule composed of six types of α chains (α1 to α6 or COL4A1 to COL4A6). GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE
Each molecule consists of : 7S domain at the N terminus, Triple-helical domain in the middle& Noncollagenous (NC1) domain at the C terminus. The NC1 domain is important for helix formation and for assembly of collagen monomers into the BM. GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE
Entire glomerular tuft is supported by the MESANGIUM. Cells of mesenchymal origin are contractile , phagocytic capable of proliferation , laying down both matrix and collagen, and secreting several biologically active mediators. 17
Glomerular filtration Pressure differences result in a gradient and movement of solutes across the semipermeable glomerular basement membrane. 18
Glomerulus is highly permeable to water & small solutes because of the fenestrated nature of the endothelium. The permeability characteristics of the glomerular filtration barrier varies: depending on their size (the larger, the less permeable ) charge (the more cationic, the more permeable) 19 GLOMERULAR FILTRATION
The visceral epithelial cell is important for the maintenance of glomerular barrier function; slit diaphragm presents a size-selective distal diffusion barrier to the filtration of proteins. 20 GLOMERULAR FILTRATION
Within cytoplasm of the foot processes, nephrin forms connections with podocin, CD2-associated protein &ultimately actin cytoskeleton of visceral epithelial cells. mutations in genes encoding them give rise to defects in permeability and the nephrotic syndrome. 21

CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
Progressive and irreversible loss of renal function over time, based on a gradual decline in the GFR and creatinine clearance ,frequently leading to end stage renal disease ( ESRD). I n which the body’s ability to maintain metabolic and fluid and electrolyte balance fails resulting in uremia or azotemia. DEFINITION
Multiple terms have been applied to chronic renal failure all of these terms are replaced with CKD It encompasses the continuum of kidney dysfunction from mild kidney damage to kidney failure, and includes end-stage renal disease (ESRD). CRF=CRI=CRD= CKD
ESTABLISHED CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
A clinical state or condition in which there has been an irreversible loss of renal function, and these patients usually need to accept renal replacement therapy in order to avoid life-threatening uremia END STAGE RENAL DISEASE
The diseases leading to CRF can generally be classified into two major groups : those causing glomerular pathology those causing tubulointerstitial pathology ETIOLOGY
Primary glomerular pathology : The major cause of CRF is chronic glomerulonephritis. various types of glomerulonephritis such as membranous glomerulonephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis , lipoid nephrosis (minimal change disease) anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis. Diseases causing glomerular pathology
ii) Systemic glomerular pathology : Certain conditions originate outside the renal system but induce changes in the nephrons secondarily. Major examples of this type are systemic lupus erythematosus and diabetic nephropathy Diseases causing glomerular pathology
categorised according to initiating etiology into 4 groups : vascular - essential hypertension produces characteristic changes in renal arteries and arterioles referred to as nephrosclerosis Infectious - chronic pyelonephritis Toxic - analgesics Obstructive - stones , blood clots, tumours , strictures and enlarged prostate Diseases causing tubulointerstitial pathology
MOST COMMON CAUSES
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Due to etiological factors renal function declines. N eph r on dama g e i s p r o g ess i v e dama g e ne p h r on can not function and to not recover. Decreased glomerular filtration rate. R emai n i n g neph r o n s unde r g o chan g e.
To compensate for those damaged nephrons. C ompensa t o r y e x c r et io n c on t inu e GFR di m in i shed. Filtration of more concentrated blood by the remaining nephrons. Damage of nephron results in hypertrophy and hyper phosphatenia of remaining nephron. Urine may contain abnormal amount of protein RBCs, white bloo d c ells or cast s .
