102914 glomerular disease Flashcards
mechanisms of glomerular disease
immunocomplex deposition-ciruculate then deposit in glomerulus(like lupus). activates complement resulting in neutrophil chemotaxis
antibodies against GBM or glomerular antigens
cytokine production by inflam cells
glomerular disease that is diffuse is
affecting all glomeruli
focal
affects a few glomeruli
global
affects the entire glomerulus
segmental
affects a portion of the glomerulus
how does glomerular disease present?
loss of GFR
hematuria
proteinuria
nephrotic syndrome
proteinuria greater than 3.5 g/day
hypoalbuminemia
edema
hyperlipidemia
lipiduria
hypercoagulability
nephritis
mild proteinuria
HEMATURIA (RBCs, RBC casts, dysmoprhic RBCs)
HTN
edema
nephrotic glomerular diseases
minimal change disease
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
membranous nephropathy
IgA neprhopathy
nephritic glomerular diseases
membranoproliferative GN
acute post infec GN
crescentic (ANCA) GN
IgA nephropathy
acute glomerulonephritis causes
IgA nephropathy post infec GN anti GBM disease/Goodpasture's small vessel vasculitis lupus nephritis membranoproliferative GN
what is the most common GN?
IgA nephropathy
in what disease does hematuria frequently occur with an URI? (synpharyngitic hematuria)
IgA nephropathy
what is a histologic feature of IgA nephropathy?
IF: mesangial IgA deposition
HSP
systemic disorder with IgA deposition in multiple organs (skin, joints, GI, kidney)
