A

Increase in number of cells, exudative (inflammatory)

19
Q

What does membranous mean in the context of renal pathophysiology?

A

Thickened capillary walls (“spikes”)

20
Q

What does membranoproliferative mean in the context of renal pathophysiology?

A

Thickened capillary wall (double contours) and increase in the number of cells

21
Q

The hematoxylin and eosin stains nuclei in (X) and the cytoplasm and various proteins in (Y)

A 
X = blue
Y = red-pink-orange
22
Q

Hemoglobin is not strongly stained by (X) (RBCs not strongly glycosylated)

A

X = PAS

23
Q

Lysosomal accumulation of proteins (as in (X) disease) can lead to massive vacuolization of the (Y) since they are never regenerated (other cells affected, but can be renewed before extensive vacuoles accumulate)

A 
X = Fabry
Y = podocytes
24
Q

Glomerulitis is (X) of the glomerulus, either segmental or global

A

X = inflammation

25
Q

A global glomerulitis is mostly due to infilration of (X) inflammatory cells exhibiting a lobular pattern of injury

A

X = mononuclear

26
Q

A cellular crescent, focal fibrinoid necrosis, and shrunken glomerulus can result in the case of inflammation due to the accumulation of (X) and parietal epithelial cells in Bowman’s space

A

X = macrophages/monocytes

27
Q

Nodular accumulation of PAS-positive matrix in the mesangium is a classic presentation in (X)

A

X = DM (Diabetes Mellitus)

28
Q

Amyloid deposits stain weekly with PAS and exhibit a characteristic (X) when stained with Congo red and viewed under polarized light

A

X = apple green birefringence

29
Q

(X) are commonly seen in Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, where a second basement membrane is deposited after injury

A

30
Q

What type of collagen is considered the scar collagen seen in the healing of a focal necrotizing lesion?

A

Collagen I (Lightly staining in PAS)

31
Q

For IF microscopy section preparation, the tissue is not fixed. Instead, it is (X)

A

X = snap frozen

32
Q

What are the major elements to consider in glomerular pathology by IFM?

A 
The antibodies used are chain-specific
The distribution of the deposits
Type of deposits
Location of the deposits
Intensity of staining (0 to 3+ or 4+)

37
Q

High protein content can be seen as (X) regions under EM. E.g. RBCs

A

electron dense

38
Q

(X) on the endothelium in the kidney is much higher than in other organs with lower perfusion/gram (such as the brain). Higher pressure also seen in this system. Thus, the kidney expresses thrombotic and cardiovascular diseases long before other organs become clinically involved

A

X = Shear stress

39
Q

What type of hemoglobin forms the fibrils seen in sickle cell anemia?

A

Hemoglobin S

40
Q
