[2] LESSON 7: RENAL DISEASES Flashcards
Kidney diseases are often classified into three types based on the morphologic component initially affected and susceptibility to disease varies with each other:
(1) Glomerular, (2) Tubular, and (3) Tubulointerstitial
: immune complex formation and deposition
Immunologic
: exposure to chemicals, toxins and amyloid materials
Non-immunologic
Deposition of immune complexes formed in response to Group A Streptococcal infection
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Marked by the sudden onset of symptoms consistent with glomerular membrane damage
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Signs and symptoms: edema, fever, fatigue, hypertension
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis: gross hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts, dysmorphic RBCs, hyaline and granular casts, WBC
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Additional lab findings: increase BUN and ASO titer
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
More serious form of acute glomerular disease that involves deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Damaged glomeruli allow release of cells and fibrin into the Bowman’s capsule leading to pressure changes
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis: gross hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts, dysmorphic RBCs, hyaline and granular casts, WBC
Acute PostStreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
(+) Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Ab
Goodpasteur Syndrome
May lead to chronic glomerulonephritis and end-stage renal disease
Goodpasteur Syndrome
Signs and symptoms: hemoptysis and dyspnea
Goodpasteur Syndrome
(+) Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) that targets neutrophils in the vascular walls initiating immune response and granuloma formation in the lungs and kidneys
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Other lab findings:
increase serum BUN and creatinine
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Allergic purpura that causes decrease in the number of platelets and affects vascular integrity
Henoch Schonlein Purpura
Signs and symptoms: red skin patches, blood in sputum and stool
HenochSchonlein Purpura
Urinalysis: proteinuria, hematuria, RBC casts
Goodpasteur Syndrome
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
HenochSchonlein Purpura
Involves IgG deposition on the glomerular membrane leading to pronounced thickening
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Seen in SLE, Sjogren’s syndrome, secondary syphilis and hepatitis B infection
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis: hematuria and proteinuria
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Cellular proliferation affecting capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Other lab findings: decreased serum complement
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Gradual worsening of symptoms leading to loss of kidney function
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Signs and symptoms: fatigue, anemia, hypertension, edema and oliguria
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis: hematuria, proteinuria, glucosuria, isosthenuria and many casts
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Other lab findings: increased BUN and creatinine, electrolyte imbalance
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
igA deposition on the glomerular membrane leading to thickening
IgA nephropathy/Berger’s Disease
most common cause of glomerulonephritis
IgA nephropathy/Berger’s Disease
Involves membrane damage and changes in the electrical charges of the basement membrane leading to the passage of high molecular weight proteins and lipids into the urine
Nephrotic Syndrome
Loss of albumin causes decrease in capillary oncotic pressure and edema
Nephrotic Syndrome
Urinalysis: massive proteinuria (>3.5 g/day), lipiduria (fat droplets, oval fat bodies, fatty and waxy casts), hematuria
Nephrotic Syndrome
Other lab findings: decreased serum albumin, increased serum lipids
Nephrotic Syndrome
Acute onset may occur as a result of circulatory disruption causing systemic shock and decrease in blood pressure
Nephrotic Syndrome
Urinalysis: hematuria
Alport Syndrome
Inherited disease that affects the glomerular basement membrane (lamellated appearance with areas of thinning)
Alport Syndrome
Disruption of podocytes occurring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunizations
Minimal Change Disease
Associated with heroin and analgesic abuse, and AIDS
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Disruption of the podocytes in certain areas of the glomerulus
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Most common cause of end-stage renal disease
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
Glomerular damage may be due capillary thickening, increase proliferation of the mesangial cells, increase deposition of cellular and non-cellular materials
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
Most common cause of end-stage renal disease
A. GLOMERULAR DISEASE
B. TUBULAR DISEASES
C. TUBULOINTERSTITIAL DISEASES
