CIS 1 Flashcards
- Which of the following is an accurate description of a kidney glomerulus? It is an
- Arteriole-venous shunt
- Vascular epithelial organ
- Capillary plexus
- Endothelial fenestrated structure
Vascular epithelial organ
- Erythropoeitin is exhaggerated where?
- the interstitial cells
Erythropoeitin is exhaggerated in the interstitial cells.
What is the primary site of production before birth and after birth?
- BEfore: Liver
- After: Kidney
What part of the kidneys are the major sites of production of erthryopoietin?
- peritubular capillary endothelial cells
- peritubular fibroblasts
- The term diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis means
Inflammatory infiltration of the glomerulus
- What is the difference between acute/diffuse/focal proliferative glomerulonephritis?
- Acute and diffuse are the same
- Focal: occuring in some glomeruli, not all
Generally, the etiology of GN can be ascribed to what?
Immunologic phenomena
Benz jones proteins is seen in _____________
- Benz jones proteins is seen in plasma cell dysplasia (tubular damage)
- Localized edema => _____ syndrome
nephritic
Generalized edema => ____ syndrome
nephrotic
- Gross hematuria => _____ syndrome
nephritic
- _____ on UA => nephritic syndrome
less than 4
- membranoproliferative GN (type 2) occurs most commonly in who and is associated with what?
- Adults
- Chronic antigenemia
Patients with:
- Hep C with cryoglobinemia
- Malignancies
- Chronic immune complex disorders
are most likely to have?
Membranoproliferative GN Type 2
Membranoproliferative GN (type 2) is characteritized by what type of deposits
Dense electron deposits of C3 (not C1q or C4) in BM
What is the prognosis of MPGN Type 2?
Poor prognosis.
If we see something that looks like nephrotic syndrome, we think of 3 things
KIDS
- MCD
Adults:
- 1. FSGD (more common)
- 2. Memnranous GN
- 52 YO male has a BP of 140/84, mild periorbital edema, moderate pitting edema of the LE and significant proteinuria on dipstick testing. His CBC shows a white count of 10,000. A 24 hour urine collection shows 3.7gm of protein, primary albumin. PMH indicates that he was a previously healthy except for mild HTN for which he takes HCTZ. The protein in his urine is most likely due to
-
Glomerular disorder (nephrotic syndrome)
- Bc it is primarily albumin, we are selecting for SMALL proteins
- A 4YO M presents with a CC of sore thorast and dry cough. He has a 4gm of protein reflected in 24 hour urine collection and discernible periorbital edema. You intend to begin steroid therepy but first meet with his parents to consel them. Nased on the most likelyy diagnosis you indicate, tx and prognosis
- Nephrotic => MCD => tx with steroids => good prognosis
Hyposthenuria is what
- inability to concentrate URINE
MCD will show what on EM
- Foot process fusion
Mesangial interposition occurs in what
MPGN
