Urinary Tract Infections Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: In _____, epithelial cells in the center of the urothelial nests (Brunn nests) retract to produce cystic spaces lined by flattened urothelium (metaplastic lesion)

Answer: cystitis cystica

Flashcard 2: The _____ ureter is a characteristic radiological finding in tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract.

Answer: pipe-stem

Extra: In genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB), chronic inflammation and fibrosis lead to a thick-walled, rigid, and shortened ureter, known as a **pipe-stem ureter**. Other classic features of GUTB: - **Golf-hole ureteric orifice**: Seen on **cystoscopy** (due to fibrosis and retraction of the ureter). - **Putty kidney**: Tuberculous autonephrectomy with caseous calcification. - **Thimble bladder**: Fibrotic, small-capacity bladder. - **Beaded/Corkscrew ureter**: Multiple strictures and segments of dilatation.

Flashcard 3: _____ cystitis is seen due to catheterization of bladder

Answer: Polypoid

Flashcard 4: The necks of the calyces and the renal pelvis in GUTB get stenosed by fibrosis and confine the infection, resulting in _____

Answer: tuberculous pyonephrosis

Flashcard 5: Chronic _____ is characterized histologically by renal tubules containing eosinophilic proteinaceous material resembling thyroid follicles

Answer: pyelonephritis

Flashcard 6: The given immunoflorescence pattern is suggestive of _____:

Answer: Membranous nephropathy

Flashcard 7: Presence of yellow-colored spherical mass associated with tumor cells invading the renal vein is characteristic of _____ carcinoma

Answer: clear cell

Flashcard 8: _____ crystals on urine microscopy appear as spheres with radial or concentric striations and irregular projections or thorns, referred to as thorn apples

Answer: Ammonium biurate

Flashcard 9: The four major sites of immune complex deposits in glomerular diseases are _____, subendothelial, mesangial, and intramembranous.

Answer: subepithelial

Extra: Specific examples of deposit locations: - **Subepithelial**: Membranous nephropathy, PSGN (humps) - **Subendothelial**: SLE (Class III/IV), MPGN Type I - **Mesangial**: IgA nephropathy, SLE (Class II) - **Intramembranous**: MPGN Type II (Dense Deposit Disease)

Flashcard 10: _____ is a type of nephritic syndrome that arises after a group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection of the skin (impetigo) or pharynx

Answer: Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN)
