B5.039 - Prework 2 Patterns of Glomerular Injury COPY Flashcards

entire glomerulus scarred tf up
what do focal and diffuse mean
focal - less that half
diffuse - half or more
when do you seen thrombosis in glomeruli
as part of thrombotic microangiopathy
also in DIC
segmental or global

global
segmental or global

segmental

tubular pattern
thumbprint deposit
seen in lupus

scar in glomerulus in bowmans space
types of extrisic hypercellularity
extracapillary, crescents

nodular mesangial expansion
seen in DM

endocapillary intrinsic hypercellularity
the cells are encroaching upon capillary lumina
hard to find open capillary lumina

GBM linear pattern think goodpastures
diffuse
types of intrinsic hypercellularity
mesangial, endocapillary, lobular
causes of TMA
SLE, HUS/TTP, PSS, HTN

segmental sclerosis

fibrillar desposits
seen in amyloid

mesangial pattern glomerular injury

capillary pattern (granular) glomerular injury
describe a normal mesangium
1-3 cells per contiguous area; small amount of matrix

tuft necrosis
nuclear debris, karyorexis
how do you describe a single glomerulus
segmental or global

mesangial intrinsic hypercellularity
patent capillary lumina but misangeal matrix abnormal
insudate
when fluid passes thru capillary or epithelial cell and causes glassy appearance
subtypes of hypercellularity
intrinsic - within glomerular tuft
extrinsic - in glomerulus but outside glomerular tuft
tuft necrosis is associated with what
immune mediated injury
describe a normal capillary in the glomerulus
patent lumina, smooth GBM contours, small endothelial cells, inconspicuous podocytes

Fibrin thrombus
TMA
what do segmental or global mean
segmental - portions of glomerulus affected
global - entire glomerulus affected

mesangial matrix expansion
glue that holds everything together shows tons of matrix
double contours typically due to what
endothelial/subendothelial injury
endothelial cells make new BM, so do podocytes if they need to
can be accompanied by mesangial cell migration (interpositioning) or immune cell infiltration

scar with associated insudate (note glassy/hyaline apperance of cells at bottom)
intrinsic HC often associated with what
immune complex deposition
extrinsic HC often associated with what
GBM break/rupture
goodpasture, ANCA vasculitis…

normal glomerulus
what are arrows pointing to

granular deposits
how do you describe all glomeruli
focal or diffuse
causes of MME
DM, HTN
immunoglobulin or immune complex deposition

crescent extrinsic hypercellularity

crescent extrinsic hypercellularity
silver stain highlights BM

double contour BM
“tram tracking” extra BM laid down due to injury
