Glomerular Disease 1 Flashcards
how does glomerular disease present?
Hematuria (quality)
Loss of GFR (temporal change)
Proteinuria (quantity)
factors of nephrotic syndrome
Proteinuria >3.5 g/day
Hypoalbuminemia
Edema
Hyperlipidemia (increased hepatic production)
Lipiduria
Hypercaogulabiltiy (loss of anticoag C and S)
nephrtitis
mild proteinuria
**Hematuria **(RBCs, RBC casts, dysmorphic RBCs)
HTN
Edema
causes of acute glomerulonephritis
IgA nephropathy
Post-infectious GN
Anti-GMB disease / good pastures
small vessel vasculitis
lupus nephritis
membranproliferative GN
(I poop good, small, little, marbels)
most common Gn
IgA nephropahty
most prominent feature IgA nephropathy
hematuria (50-60% episodic, 30% persistent, 10% acute Gn or nerphtoic syndrome)
presentation IgA nephropathy
Dysuria
Loin Pain
Hematuria
co-present w/ URI (synpharrngitic hematuria)
pos HTN
Histology IgA nephopathy
LM - messangianl hypercellularity, scelorosis+necrosis with crescents
IF: **Msangial IgA deposition **
EM- mesangional paramesangial elctron dense deposits
treatment IgA nephropathy
fish oil may slow
ACE
corticosteroids or other immunosuppresants
presentation Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
skin non blanching pupura on legs+buttucks
transient arthraligias
GI (hematochezia)
kidney - hematuria, proteinuria
infection presentation post infectious GN
7-14 days post pahryngitis, 14-28 post skin infection (esp A beta hemolytic strep)
clinical presentatiion Post strep GN
sudden onset HTN
azotemia
oliguria
edema
tea-colored urine
**Labs: **low C3 comp, ASO elevated, RBC casts in urine, proteinuria
histo post strep GN
LM - enlarged hypercell. glomeruli
diffuse mesangial+endocapilary proliferation with PMNs
crescents
**IF **granular capillary wall, mesangial IgG and C3
EM: Mesangial and large subepithelial humb-like deposits
causes of rapidly progressive GN
description
classic nephritic syndrome with rapid progression to renal failure
anti GBM / Goodpastures
ANCA asssociated GN (Pauci Immune)
histo rapidily progressive GN
crescentic
early segmental necrosis early
cause of Anti GBM / goodpastures
circulating anti GBM antibody (antigen is a3chain of type IV collagen)
