Nephrology

I'm not able to share the book I've been studying from because of copyrights. I always take notes of some significant points of pathophysiology of a disease in English and Turkish in order to review daily. Also sharing my notes motivates me. Nephrology is the science focuses on renal system and its pathologies as a field of internal medicine.

Fanconi Syndrome
Proximal tubule is the part of renal tubular system where fluid& electrolyte reabsorption happens at most. Type-2 RTA(renal tubular acidosis) happens when HCO3(bicarbonate) reabsorption is impaired. The most common cause of fanconi syndrome is multiple myeloma (in adults)/cystinosis (in children)
Liddle Syndrome=Pseudohyperaldosteronism
For differential diagnosis of Liddle Syndrome, primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism must be excluded by renin&aldosterone level.
Furosemide (loop diuretics) vs. Tiazid
Furosemide decreases Ca+2 reabsorption(hypocalcemia), whereas Tiazide increases (hypercalcemia).
Renal tubular system
Proximal tubule- loop of Henle (descending&ascending limbs)-Distal tubule(first 'distal convoluted tubule' &second parts)- collecting canal
