308 Glomerular Diseases Flashcards
Renal failure in Glomerulonephritis best correlates histologically with: (H20 C308 P2135)
Appearance of tubulointerstitial nephritis
Light microscopy stain to enhance basement membrane structure (H20 C308 P2136)
Jones-methenamine silver
Light microscopy stain for amyloid deposits (H20 C308 P2136)
Congo red
Antibody that best correlates with the presence of renal disease in lupus (H20 C308 P2138)
Anti-dsDNA
Definition of remission in lupus nephritis (H20 C308 P2138)
Near-normal renal function
Proteinuria less than or equal to 330 mg/dL per day
Lupus nephritis class predisposed to renal vein thrombosis (H20 C308 P2139)
Class V
Prognostic factor with the greatest predictive power for adverse renal outcomes in IgA nephropathy (H20 C308 P2140)
Persistent proteinuria for 6 months or longer
FSGS variant with better prognosis (H20 C308 P2143)
Glomerular tip lesion
Therapy for recurrent post-transplant FSGS (H20 C308 P2143)
Plasmapheresis
Most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in the elderly (H20 C308 P2144)
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Highest reported incidence of renal vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis among the nephrotic syndromes (H20 C308 P2144)
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Sensitive indicator for the presence of diabetes but correlates poorly with the presence or absence if clinically significant nephropathy (H20 C308 P2145)
Thickening of the GBM
Histologic finding that correlates with the subsequent risk of clinically significant nephropathy in diabetes (H20 C308 P2145)
Degree of glomerular hyperfiltration
Skin biopsy finding in cholesterol emboli (H20 C308 P2148)
Residual biconvex clefts in involved vessels
Some children with complement protein deficiencies express atypical HUS (aHUS), which can be treated with: (H20 C308 P2149)
Liver transplant
