CCTN Exam Study Questions and Answers
Verified 100% Correct
Glomerulonephritis definition
degenerative condition where kidney's filtration system is inflamed, has scar tissue, and
can't remove waste properly-leads to HTN, which leads to loss of kidney function
Diseases requiring kidney
Polycystic kidney disease
Primary glomerulonephritis
HIV associated nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy
HTN
Lupus
Diseases requiring kidney-pancreas transplant
End state diabetic nephropathy
Life threatening Type I DM
Life threatening hypoglycemia
Process of small intestine transplant
First try TPN, then if failure to absorb nutrients from TPN or severe complications r/t
intestinal motility
Intestinal complications leading to small bowel transplant
Structural disease: Crohn's dz, small bowel stenosis, necrotizing enterocolitis, trauma, vascular
accidents, mesenteric thrombosis, atresia or stenosis of small intestine
, Functional complications: congenital enteritis, total intestinal aganglionosis (Hirschsprung
dz), radiation enteritis
Crohn's Disease
AKA "regional enteritis-" transmural inflammation and cobblestoning
Vascular insufficiency
D/t hypercoaguable state, veno-occlusive disorder, familial adenomatous polyposis,
or radiation enteritis, injury
Pediatric diseases leading to intestinal transplant
Hirschsprung disease and Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
Hirschsprung disease
Congenital aganglionic megacolon which happens with improper peristalsis leading to intestinal
obstruction. Have severe bloating and constipation, anemia, and malnutrition
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
R/timproper peristalsis nut no obstruction. Usually discovered at birth or by age 1;
abdominal bloating, infrequent passage of stool and vomiting bile
Most common structural causes of intestinal transplants in kids
Volvulus and Gastroschisis
Volvulus
twisting of the bowel on itself, causing obstruction leading to vascular insufficiency-
usually found at birth or in utero
Gastroschisis
Congenital malformation of the anterior abdominal wall leading to exposure of
abdominal contents
