  2. RENAL BLOCK20 April 2013 – 22 May 2013 Dr. ALY MOHAMED AHMED

  3. Objectives of the Block By the end of the course, students should be able to: • Understand the relationship between the structure of the different components of the renal system and their functions. • Discuss the biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, pathogenesis and factors contributing to the development of most common diseases affecting renal system.

  4. Use basic science to explain patient’s sign and symptoms; • interpret investigation results, and • provide justification for their views. • Develop communication skills and explore psychosocial and ethical issues in their assessment. • Use clinical cases to apply knowledge learnt, generate hypotheses, build an enquiry plan, and use evidence to refine their hypothesis, justify their views.

  5. Design a brief management plan, and understand the pharmacological basis of drugs used in the management of common diseases affecting the renal system. • Enhance their communication skills, and practice with the help of simulation patients to improve their communication in relation to renal case scenarios.

  6. Teaching and Learning Modes: Learning strategies include: • Small group discussion • Lectures • Student-led seminars • Practical classes. • Clinical skills • Independent learning • Writing an essay or mini thesis.

  7. Assessment of Studentsin the Block In order to pass the block, you must obtain a minimum final block grade of D calculated as: • Continuous Assessment • Tutor Assessment and Attendance 15% • Written Examinations (MCQ) 55% • Mid-Block Exam 25% • Final Block Exam 30% • OSPE 30 % • TOTAL : 100 %

  8. Attendance • 75% attendance in all educational activities of the block. • Tutor Assessment in Large and Small groups (Continuous Assessment): • Preparation • Participation • Written Examination • Mid-block Exam • Final Written Exam • Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE ): • Practical examination at the end of the block • Contains 30% of the marks

  9. Learning Resources • Please see Renal Block guide.

  10. The Kidney Objectives: By the end of this lecture, the student should be able to describe: 1.The microscopic structure of the renal cortex and medulla. 2. The histology of renal corpuscle, proximal and distal tubules, loop of Henle, and collecting tubules & ducts. 3. The histological structure of juxtaglomerular apparatus. 4. The functional structures of the different parts of the kidney.

  11. KIDNEY • Cortex:Dark brown and granular. • Medulla:6-12 pyramid-shape regions (renal pyramids) • The base of pyramid is toward the cortex (cortico-medullary border) • The apex (renal papilla) toward the hilum, it is perforated by 12 openings of the ducts of Bellini in region called area cribrosa . The apex is surrounded by a minor calyx. • 3 or 4 minor calycesjoin to form 3 or 4 major calyces that form renal pelvis. • Pyramids are separated by cortical columns of Bertin.

  12. A hemisected view of the kidney

  13. Uriniferous tubule • It is the functional unit of the kidney. • Is formed of: 1- Nephron. 2-Collecting tubule. • The tubules are densely packed. • The tubules are separated by thin stroma and basal lamina.

  14. Nephron • There are 2 types of nephrons: a- Cortical nephrons. b- Juxtamedullary nephrons. It is formed of : 1-Renal corpuscle. 2-Proximal tubule. 3-Thin limbs of Henle’s loop. 4-Distal tubule

  15. Renal corpuscle • Glomerulus;(tuft of fenestrated capillaries "without diaphragm”) • Bowman’s capsule; (Parietal layer, urinary space and visceral layer or podocytes). • Mesangialcells; (intra-glomerular cells).

  16. Renal Corpuscle

  17. Glomerular Filtration Barrier • Endothelialwall of the glomerular capillaries. • The glomerular basal lamina (inner and outer laminaerarae and middle lamina densa). • Visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule (podocytes) • Podocytes have primary (major) processes and secondary (minor) processes (pedicles). • Between pedicles (on the surface of capillaries) there are filtration slits that have filtration slit diaphragms.

  18. Glomerular Filtration Barrier

  19. Renal tubules

  20. Proximal convoluted tubule • It is composed of simple cuboidal epith. with acidophilic cytoplasm. The cells have striated or brush border and lateral inter-digitations. • They have well-defined basal lamina.

  21. Thin limbs of Henle’s loop • It has 3 regions: 1-Descending thin limb. 2-Crest of Henle’s loop. 3-Ascending thin limb. NB. It is longer in juxta-medullary nephron than in cortical nephron. * It is composed of simple squamous epith.

  22. Distal convoluted tubule It starts at the macula densa. macula densa(tall columnar & narrow cells). The Distal convoluted tubule is formed of low cuboidal epith. N.B. Because distal convoluted tubules are much shorter than proximal convoluted tubules, any section of renal cortex presents many more sections of proximal convoluted tubules. *Distal tubules drain into collecting tubules.

  23. Juxtaglomerular apparatus

  24. Collecting tubules • Are composed of simple cuboidal epithelium. • They aren’t part of nephron. • They have 3 regions: 1-Cortical: S. Cuboidal Epith. 2-Medullary: S. Cuboidal Epith. 3-Papillaryducts (ducts of Bellini): S. Columnar Epith. They open in area cribrosa. *They are impermeable to water except in presence of ADH.

  25. Renal interstitium • It is a very flimsy, scant amount of loose CT that contains: • 1-Fibroblasts. • 2-Macrophages. • 3-Interstitial cells: They secrete medullipin I, which is converted in the liver into medullipin II, that lowers blood pressure.
