25
HIVAN or collapsing FSGS is due to
active viral replication in the podocyte --\> podocytes change to proliferative macrophages
26
treatment that may lead to an improvement in renal function and nephrotic syndrome in HIVAN
- HAART - ACEI or ARB, and - steroids
27
HIVAN predominantly diagnosed in patients of what race
black
28
HIVAN predominantly affects what sex
males \> females
29
HIVAN RUS findings
echogenic, occasionally large-sized kidneys
30
treatment for crescentic type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) secondary to cryoglobulinemia with no evidence of chronicity
- initiation of HCV antiviral therapy 
 - plasmapheresis 
 - corticosteroids, and - rituximab
31
NSAID use, AKI, and nephrotic syndrome
AIN and MCD
32
cause of leukocytoclastic skin lesions (can be on legs and ears), AKI, small vessel vasculitis
cocaine use
33
- leukocytoclastic rash - nephritis - and abnormal liver function tests - undetectable C4 - low to normal C3
cryoglobulinemia
34
timeline of hematuria from PIGN
2 weeks after onset of infection
35
sacroiliitis is associated with
human leukocyte antibody B27 (HLAB27) and IgA nephropathy
36
associated with a high risk of relapse in pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA)
presence of upper respiratory tract disease (such as nasal crusting)
37
MOST likely to be decreased in MPGN, especially C3 glomerulopathy
factor H (normal inhibitor of the alternative complement pathway)
38
SLE and TMA, think of
anti-phospholipid antibodies
39
cryoglobulin is typically what immunoglobulin dominant
IgM
40
cryoglobulin pattern
short vague substructure or is microtubular
41
immunotactoid glomerulopathy (GP) pattern
- clonal staining - microtubular substructure
42
fibrillary glomerulonephritis (GN) pattern
- polyclonal with proliferation - randomly arranged fibrils

 - HIVAN - collapsing glomerulosclerosis a/w SLE 
 - SCD-associated nephropathy
46
best test with highest sensitivity and specificity to evaluate for IG-related disorders
nephelometric assay for serum free light chains
47
serum protein electrophoresis will miss cases due to its lower sensitivity

lights chains

urine protein/immunofixation electrophoresis is not as sensitive as serum tests for
monoclonal proteins

cryoglobulinemia type 2 leading to MPGN with immune deposits
