6 Glomerular disease Flashcards
Nephrotic syndrome
- Proteinuria >3.5g/day
- Hypoalbuminemia
- Edema from loss of plasma oncotic pressure
- Hyperlipidemia
(lipiduria and hypocoaguability from C and S loss)
3 different kinds of immune kidney disease
1) Immune complex deposition between endothelum and BM as well as deposition in BM and subepithelium.
2) Antibodies to BM or to glomerular antigens
3) Cytokines created by inflammatory cells
Nephritic
- Mild proteinuria
- Hematuria- RBCs, RBC casts, and dysmorphic RBCs
- HTN
- Edema
Acute Glomerulonephritis causes
- IgA Nephropathy
- post infectious GN
- Anti GBM disease/ Goodpasteure’s
- Small vessel Vasculitis
- Lupis Nephritis
- Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
IgA Nephropathy Clinical presentation
Nephrotic and Nephritic
1) Hematuria (frequently with URI)
* 50-60% episodic gross hematuria
* 30% persistant microhematuria
* 10% acute GN or nephrotic syndrome
2) Proteinuria
3) Dysuria and loin pain
4) HTN in advanced patients
IgA Nephropathy Histo
- Mesangial hypercellularity
- IF: mesangial IgA deposition
- EM: Electron dense deposits
IgA nephropathy course and management
- 40% will develop CKD
- Fish oil may low progression
- ACEi for BP control
- Corticosteroids may be helpful for progressive disease
Henoch-Schoenlein Purpura Presenation
- Small vessel vasculitis
- IgA Deposition in skin and many organs
- Lower body nonblanching purpura
- Arthralgias
- ABD pain, vomiting, melena, hematochzia
- hematuria, proteinuria, Rare RF
Post- infectious GN
Nephritic
- HTN, azotemia, oliguria, cola/tea colored urine
- low c3
- anti streptolysin O
- RBC casts
- Mild proteinuria
- follows GAS- 7-14d post pharyngitis, 14-28 post skin infection
Post-infectious GN histo
- Enlarged hypercellular glomeruli
- diffuse proliferation of mesangial, endocapillary, and neutrophils
- sometimes crescenteric
- IF: granular capillary wall and IgG and C3 in mesangium
- EM: Mesangial and sub epithelial HUMP LIKE DEPOSITS
Post strep GN treatment and course
95% children- conservative management
*1% KF
60% of adults recover promptly
Rapidly progressing progressive GN Causes
Nephritic syndrome
- Crescenteric
- Rapid progression to RF
1) Anti GBM- Goodpastures
2) Immune complex GN
* Lupis
* Post- infectious
* Cryoglobulinemia
3) Anca Assocaited GN (pauci immune)
Rapid progressive GN Histo
Segmental necrosis early in the disease
Cellular crescent
Anti GBM/Goodpasteure’s Signs/causes
Nephritic
- M>F
- Hemoptysis
- Pulmonary infiltrates
- GN
Caused by circulating anti GBM
* a3 chain of collagen IV
Goodpastures diagnosis/treatment
- anti GBM antibody test
- Linear IgG and C3 on IF
- crescenteric
Treatment
- Plasmapheresis
- prednison
- Cytoxan
