(Pathogenesis)

(Immune/Inflammatory Mechanisms - cont)

  1. Cell-mediated injury - what type?
  2. Activation of alternate complement pathway - reduced serum levels of what?

what deposited in glomeruli?

n the alternate complement pathway, C3 is directly cleaved to C3b by the interaction of C3 with bacterial polysaccharides, endotoxin, or aggregates of IgA in the presence of factors B and D and magnesium. This leads to the formation of what?

A

(Consequences of Glomerular Injury)

(1. Changes in Renal Plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtartion rate (GFR))
1. RPF and GFR initially increased or decreased?

as compensatory mechs fail and damage progresses?

  1. damage to glomeruli results in ischemia to tubules that are dependent on their blood supply from affected glomeruli - leading to what?
  2. loss of nephrons and reduced GFR in remaining glomeruli may cause development of what?
A

will decrease

  1. atrophy and/or necrosis and loss of renal tubules with scarring
  2. renal failure
