(4.1) Renal Pathology II/III (Putthoff) Flashcards
What is this a hallmark of?
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN)
What are the major clinical characteristics of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 1?
- Children/Young adults
- Mild hypertension
- 50% of MPGN 1 pts. develop chronic renal failure over 10 year time span
What are the major clinical manifestations of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type I SECONDARY?
- Almost exclusively in ADULTS
- Is a reflection of renal glomerular disease in pateints with (Hep C, SLE, Malignancies)
- 50% will experience chronic renal failure in 10 years
What is the other name for “membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis II”?
Dense deposit disease
What are the clinical manifestations of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis II?
Primarily occurs in children
Less common than MPGN 1
Hematuria is a more dominant clinical finding
Severe renal disease and poorer prognosis than MGPN Type 1
If you have LOW complement levels and a glomerulonephritis syndrome… what do you most likely have?
MPGN II
What is this pattern of immunofluorescence a hallmark of?
IgA Nephropathy
What type of disease is berger?
Renal IgA nephropathy – no systemic disease
What type of disease is Henoch - Schonlein purpura (HSP)?
IgA nephropathy associated with systemic disease
What are the clinical manifestations of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP)?
Skin (purpuric) manifestations
IgA nephropathy
What is the population associated with IgA nephropathy?
Caucasians
Asians
Older children and young adults
Over time with chronic glomerulonephritis, trichrome stains will reveal…
Sclerosing/obliteration of glomeruli
What are the (6) forms of primary glomerular diseases that progress to chronic glomerulonephritis?
90% = Crescentic GN
50-80% = Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
50% = Membranoproliferative GN
30-80% = Membranous nephropathy
30-50% = IgAN
90% = Crescentic GN
NOW ON SECOND POWERPOINT SET
What are the (2) forms of hereditary nephritis?
Alport syndrome
Thin basement membrane disease
What is the appearance of alport syndrome on EM?
Irregular thickening basement membrane, lamination of the lamina densa
“Moth-earten” “frayed” appearance
What are the clinical manifestations of thin basement membrane disease (benign familial hematuria)?
- Hematuria due to thinned glomerular basement membranes
- Pts have asymptomatic microscopic hematuria
- Renal function is unremarkable
- Anomaly is due to gene mutations in alpha3 or alpha4 chains in type IV collagen
- MOST PTs are HETEROZYGOUS
Summarize the mechanism of
Type I DM
Type II DM
Type I DM = Autoimmune disease
Type II DM = Peripheral resistance to insulin
What are the two major processes that play key pathophysiologic roles as diabetic glomerular lesions develop?
Metabolic defect linked to hyperglycemia
Hemodynamic effects associated with glomerular hypertrophy
What are histologic indications of diabetic nephropathy?
Thickened tubular basement membranes
What is this image an example of?
End Stage Diabetic Nephrosclerosis
What are the histologic hallmarks of diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis?
Marked increase in cellularity
Glomerular size is greatly enlarged
What is the worst type of lupus?
Diffuse lupus nephritis (class IV)
What are two common reasons for acute tubular injury?
Ischemia
Toxic injury
