05.20 - Kidney, Systemic 2 (Nichols, Hastings) - PP + Handout Flashcards
Most amyloiogenic proteins are made in
Hepatocytes or plasma cells
Median age at dx of AL amyloidosis
64
When to suspect Light Chain Disease
Nephrotic Syndrome or Rapidly progressive tubulointersitial nephritis, associated with cardiac diastolic dysfunction and monoclonal Ig in urine or serum
Eprodisate
Limits deposition of AA fibrils
What percent of patients with HgB SS will develop ESRD
4-12%
Presentation of HIV Nephropathy
Progressive Azotemia, Significant Proteinuria, Minimal peripheral edema
Glomular histology is sickle cell patients who present with chronic renal disease and proteinuria
Glomerulomegaly, Mesangial expanion, Segmental sclerosisi
AA amyloidosis is due to
Chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA, IBD, etc.
Light chain disease presents with
Proteinuria and Renal Failure
Later Stages of Sickle cell nephropathy
Interstitial inflammation, edema, fibrosis, tubular atrophy, papillary infarcts
In the kidney, mixed cryoglobulinemia most often causes what pattern of injury
Membranoproliferative
Tubular and insterstitial deposits of amyloid may lead to
Tubular Atrophy and Interstitial fibrosis
Interstitial fibrosis and Vascular Sclerosis with abundant brown pigment (Hb breakdown products)
Sickle Cell Nephropathy
Concentrating ability in Sickle Nephropathy
Diminished
Significant proteinuria but only minimal peripheral edema
HIV Nephropathy
Advanced renal amyloidosis results in what kind of glomerulopathy
non-proliferative, non-inflammatory
Kidney symptoms in AL amyloidosis
Nephrotic syndrome, Renal insufficiency w/ enlarged kidneys
Where in kidney does sickling usually occur
Vasa Recta
HIV Nephropathy Histology
Collapsing FSGS, with Microcystic Tubular Dilation, Intersitial inflammaiton and fibrosis
Susceptibility gene for HIV Nephropathy
APOL1
What distinguishes HIV-associated nephropathy from idiopathic collapsing FSGS
Accompanying prominent tubular dilation and interstitial inflammation
GFR in sickle cell
Increased until 4th decade, then decreased
Big kidneys on US
Diabetic Nephropathy, Amyloidosis
Ig capable of binding IgG
RF
Protein in AL amyloidosis
Ig light chain
Median survival of AL amyloidosis
10 months
Proteins in Cryoglobulinemia
Ig’s, Complement, RF
Most patients with AL just have
Monoclonal Gammopathy, instead of Multiple Myeloma
Question to ask with Collapsing FSGS
HIV Test?
