B5-039 Renal Pathology I Flashcards
KW nodules
diabetic nephropathy
afferent and efferent arteriolar hyalinosis; interstitial fibrosis
diabetic nephropathy
glomerulosclerosis
arteriosclerosis
afferent arteriolar hyalinosis
chronic hypertensive nephropathy
what finding would you expect in accelerated hypertensive nephropathy?
thrombotic microangiopathy
most common cause of ERSD in US
diabetic nephropathy
non-enzymatic glycation of the tissue proteins causes mesangial expansion
diabetic nephropathy
LM: mesangial expansion, GBM thickening, KW lesions
diabetic nephropathy
systemic disorder with abnormal deposition of protein in various organs, including kidney
amyloidosis
[…] amyloidosis accounts for 75% of cases in US
AL
- second most common amyloidosis
- associated with chronic inflammatory disease
AA amyloidosis
serum amyloid associated protein
AA amyloidosis
Ig lambda light chain
AL amyloidosis
what type of amyloidosis is associated with familial mediterranean fever?
AA amyloidosis
waxy deposits confirmed by congo red stain
amyloidosis
most commonly involved organ in systemic amyloidosis
kidney
apple-green birefringence under polarized light due to amyloid deposition in mesangium
amyloidosis
accounts for 2/3 of all nephrotic syndrome in children
minimal change disease
responds well to steroids
minimal change disease
- essentially normal by LM and IF
- EM show foot process effacement
minimal change disease
4 Is of minimal change disease
- infection
- immunization
- immune stimulus
- idiopathic
triggers of MCD
LM: normal glomeruli (lipid may be seen in PT cells)
IF: normal
EM: effacement of podocyte foot processes
minimal change disease
one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults
focal segemental glomerulosclerosis
higher prevalence in AA
focal segemental glomerulosclerosis
can be associated with HIV, sickle cell, heroin use, obesity, INF treatment, congenital
