pauci - immune GN possibly associated with

A

ANCA vasculititis

21
Q

differentiation

microscopic polyangiitis

wegner’s granulomatosis

churg straus

A

**microscopic polyangiitis: **no granulomatous inflam, no asthma

wegner’s granulomatosis: necrtizing granulomatous inflam, no asthma

**churg strauss: **necrotizing granulomatous inflam, asthma, eosinophilia

22
Q

renal biopsy wegenrs

A

cresenteric GN without immune deposits

23
Q

treatment for all causes of nephrotic syndrome

A

ACE/ARBs to lower pressure+reduce proteinuria

Statins reduce lipids

diuretics+salt restriction to improve edema

minimal change disease

25
Q

adult associations minimal change disease

histo Minimal change disease

A

LM: glmeruli intersitium and tubules normal

IF negative or mesangial IgM

EM: podocyte foot process effacement (fusion)

27
Q

treatment minimal change disease
