-allergic response-trauma-sinusitis w/ periorbital cellulitis-renal insufficiency-congestive heart failure

25
Q

What is often the first noticeable change in renal disease?

A

Facial puffiness - it is caused by edema. Since there is very little periorbital subQ tissue, edema can accumulate there easily

A

rhabdomyolysis

29
Q

What can cause bilirubinura?

A

cholestasis

30
Q

What can cause concentrated urine?

A

dehydration, fever, increased exercise

31
Q

Red cell casts

A

PCVT leaks red cells and protein, clumps formed in DCVT and retain shape of tubule when passed

32
Q

Nephrotic Syndrome Criteria

A
  1. Increased glomerular permeability2. HEAVY PROTEINURIA > 3.5 g/day (50 mg/kg/day in children)3. Hypoalbuniemia < 3 g/dL4. Edema due to decreased oncotic pressure5. Hyperlipidemia6. Hematuria is usually absent7. Minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, DM, SLE, amyloidosis
33
Q

Nephrotic syndrome vs nephritic syndrome

A

nephrOtic syndrome = damage by an ObjectnephrItic syndrome = damage by Inflammation

34
Q

What is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children?

A

Minimal change disease-individual food processes have fused together (podocyte effacement)

35
Q

Acute nephritic syndrome

A

Presents with: -hypertension-hematuria-RBC casts-pyuria-mild to moderate proteinuriaAlso see-edemaazotemia (retention of nitrogenous waste products, so increased BUN and creatinine)Extensive inflammatory damage to glomeruli causes a fall in GFR and eventually produces uremic symptoms with salt and water retention, leading to edema and hypertensionSHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN ANY CHILD PRESENTING WITH SYMPTOMS OF VOLUME OVERLOAD

36
Q

PSGN-most common in-infection after

A

most common in children (5-15) and elderly (>60)More often in malesMore often in developing countries and areas with poor hygieneGABHS infection - strep pharyngitis and impetigo

37
Q

Nephritic risk after infection with GABHS is?

A

10-15%

38
Q

Clinical presentation of PSGN

A

Interval b/t GABHS infection and acute PSGN-pharyngitis: 1-2 weeks-impetigo: 3-6 weeksClassically presents with overt nephritic syndrome and oliguric ARFSymptoms can include-hematuria-hypertension-hypervolemia and edema-systemic features: headache, measles, anorexia, flank pain

39
Q

Acute Nephritic Syndromes - Differential Diagnosis

A
  1. PSGN2. Lupus nephritis3. IgA nephropathy4. Membranoproliferative GN5. Antiglomerular basement membrane disease6. Subacute bacterial endocarditis7. ANCA small vessel vasculitis8. Mesangioproliferative GN
40
Q

What is the most useful serologic testing in differentiating acute glomerulonephrities?How so?

A

Serum C3 and C4 complement levelsIn PSGN C3 and CH50 are decreased, C4 usually normalIf both C3 and C4 are low, consider lupus nephritis, hep BIf both C3 and C4 are normal, consider IgA nephropathy, henoch-schonlein purpura, or good pasture syndrome

41
Q

What is the complement system?

A

System of over 20 different interacting protein molecules always found in the blood that play a role in immunity & inflammationWith an infection, this system of molecules is activated, leading to a sequence of events on the surface of the pathogen that helps destroy the pathogen and eliminate the infection

42
Q

When should you consider renal biopsy?

A

-if you are considering other glomerular diseases-persistently low C3 >6 weeks-recurrent episodes of hematuria-progressive increase in creatinine

43
Q

What is the main complication of renal biopsy?

A

bleeding

44

1/2 of children with SLE will present with this

46
Q

IgA nephropathy aka Berger’s Disease

A

Immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis defined by the presence of diffuse granular mesangial IgA deposits often associated with mesangial hypercellularityMost common presentation is recurrent macroscopic hematuria following URI (5 days)normal C3 and C4 complement levels

47
Q

IgA vasculitis aka Henoch-Schonlein Purpura

A

Systemic vasculitis w/ deposition of IgA immune complexesSigns/symptoms: purpura, arthritis, etcNormal C3 and C4 complement levels

48
Q

Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease AKA good pasture syndrome

A

Disorder in which circulating antibodies are directly mainly against the NC1 domain of the a-3 chain of type IV collagen (highly expressed in the GMB and alveoli)Triggered by viral URI or breathing hydrocarbon solvents

49
Q

Description of electron microscopy of postinfectious glomerulonephritis capillary

A

Subepithelial deposits which appear as “humps” or “lumpy bumpy” appear ants of glomeruli on immunofluorescence

50
Q

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

A

~1% of PSGNpoor prognosis w/ fulminant renal failure over several weeksproteinuria, hematuria w/ RBC casts and PAS stainingBiopsy demonstrates circumferential and cellular CRESCENT FORMATION with interstitial nephritis

51
Q

Membranoproliferative GN-presents with-patients with MPGN continue to have …

A

Presents with-hematuria-hypertension-proteinuria-hypocomplementemiafollowing URIPatients with MPGN continue to have persistent nephritis & hypocomplementemia beyond 4-6 weeks and possibly a further elevation in serum creatinine

52
Q

Type II MPGN is also called…when viewed under a microscope …

A

dense deposit diseasecontinuous, dense, ribbon-like deposits are found along the basement membranes of the glomeruli, tubules, and Bowman’s capsule

53
Q

PSGN Course

A

Resolution usually quick, diuresis begins within 1 week, plasma Cr usually returns to previous levels by 3-4 weeksHematuria resolves within 3-6 monthsProteinuria falls at a slower rateSome patients experiences-presistent HTN-recurrent proteinuria-renal insufficiency

54
Q

PSGN Treatment

Eliminate strep infection with antibiotics as well as cohabitantsSupportive therapy of volume overloadMonitor for renal failure complications

55
Q

What should you look for when monitoring for complications of renal failure?

A
  1. fluid overload2. hyperkalemia3. hyperphosphatemia w/ hypocalcemia4. metabolic acidosis5. azotremia6. oligouria7. anuria8. hyponatremia9. hypertensive encephalopathy10. congestive heart failure
56
Q

What are some causes of renal failure?

A

Prerenal-hypovolemia (diminshing renal perfusion)-occlusion of renal arteryIntrarenal-damaged nephronsPostrenal-obstruction of urinary tract -venous occlusion

57
Q
