Renal Pathology

by Carlo Raj, MD, Mohammad Hajighasemi-Ossareh, MD, MBA

Renal pathology refers to the study of diseases that affect the kidneys. Common diseases include acute and chronic failure of the kidneys to filter blood (kidney injury), nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), acid-base and electrolyte imbalances, conditions that affect the glomerulus, and urinary tract infections.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the pathophysiologies of congenital renal conditions, tubulointerstitial diseases, inflammation of the glomerulus, cystic renal disease, diabetes insipidus and SIADH, and nephrolithiasis. Diagnostic tests for renal conditions will also be covered.

For this course, the student needs to be acquainted with the anatomy and physiology of the kidneys, the physiology of acid-base and electrolyte balance, and cell-mediated immunity.

A competent physician must have a keen eye for the clinical manifestations, both acute and chronic, of the most common conditions affecting the kidneys in order to start the proper initial management and know which conditions need to be examined by an internist or a nephrologist.

Although it might seem challenging, a good grasp of the basic concepts of renal pathology aids in attaining a fuller picture of the most important systemic ailments. For example, medication-resistant hypertension may be due to a secondary cause affecting the kidneys, such as renal artery stenosis.
