Chapter 8 - Renal Disease Flashcards
3 Classifications of renal dse
Glomerular disorders, tubular disorders, interstitial disorders
Majority are of immune origin (immune complexes, IgG, IgA)
A. Glomerular disorders
B. Tubular disorders
C. Interstitial disorders
A. Glomerular disorders
UTI belongs to which of the ff:
A. Glomerular disorders
B. Tubular disorders
C. Interstitial disorders
C. Interstitial disorders
How would you diff acute post-strep GN from other GN?
Positive ASO titer
Thickening of glomerular membrane ff IgG immune complex deposition assoc w/ systemic disorders
Membranous GN
Deposition of antiglomerular basement membrane antibody to glomerular and alveolar basement membranes
Goodpasture syndrome
Occurs in children ff viral respiratory infections; decrease in platelets disrupts vascular integrity
Henoch Schönlein purpura
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic auto-antibody binds to neutrophils in vascular walls producing damage to small vessels in the lungs & glomerulus
Wegener’s granulomatosis
Deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders on the glomerular membrane
Rapidly progressive GN
Cellular proliferation of epithelial cells inside the Bowman’s capsule form “crescents”
Rapidly progressive (crescentic) GN
Tram-track; cellular proliferation affecting the capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane, possibly immune-mediated
Membranoproliferative GN
Deposition of IgA on the glomerular membrane resulting from increased levels of IgA
IgA nephropathy / Berger’s disease
Genetic disorder showing lamellated and thinning of the glomerular basement membrane
Alport syndrome
Narked decrease in renal fxn resulting from glomerular damage precipitated by other renal disorders; progression to renal failure; less painful but irreversible
Chronic GN
Little cellular changes in glomerulus, disruption of podocytes primarily in children ff allergic rxns & immunization
Minimal change dse / Nil dse / Lipoid nephrosis
Disruption of podocytes in certain numbers & areas of glomeruli, others remain normal
Focal segmented glomerulosclerosis
Most common cause of ESRD; deposition of glycosylated proteins on the glomerular basement membranes caused by poorly controlled blood glucose levels
Diabetic nephropathy / Kimmelstiel-Wilson dse
Disruption of the electrical charges that produce the tightly fitting podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of proteins & lipids; progression from other dses.
Nephrotic syndrome
Enunerate findings for each of the ff dses:
- Acute post-strep GN
- Rapidly progressive GN
- Goodpasture syndrome
- Wegener’s granulomatosis
- Henoch-Schonlein purpura
- Membranous GN
- Membranoproliferative GN
- Chronic GN
- IgA nephropathy
- Minimal change dse
- Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Alport syndrome
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Macroscopic hematuria, proteinuria, dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts, granular casts, positive ASO titer
2, 3, 4 & 5. Macroscopic hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts - Microscopic hematuria, proteinuria
- Henaturia, proteinuria
- Hematuria, proteinuria, glucosuria, cellular & granular casts, waxy & broad casts
- Early stages: hematuria ; late stages: same w/ chronic GN
- Heavy proteinuria, transient hematuria, fat droplets
- Proteinuria, hematuria
- Microalbuminuria, positive micral test
13, 14. Lipiduria, albuminuria, proteinuria
How would you diff chronic from acute GN based on findings?
Waxy & broad casts
