Kappa

26
Q

what hematologic finding is frequently seen in atheroembolic disease?

A

eosinophilia

27
Q

an infection related GN with IgA can be seen in
a.) strep infection with nL C’
b.) strep infection with low C’
c.) Staph aureus infection

A

Staph aureus. IgA dominant postinfectious GN are more common in S. aureus infection and patients with DM who have deep seated infections

28
Q

IgAN is a.w Abs to which of the ff?
a.) glycosylated albumin
b.) galactose deficient IgA1
c.) glucose deficient IgA1
D.) galactose deficient IgA2

A

Galactose deficient IgA1

29
Q

which clinical factor portends the worst prognosis in IgAN?
a.) BP
b.) proteinuria
c.) gross hematuria after an URI
d.) chronic micsocopic hematuria

A

Proteinuria. Chronic microscopic hematuria portends a worse prognosis than intermittent hematuria, but proteinuria is still the strongest predictor of outcome.

30
Q

what is the most common GN seen in GVHD?

A

membranous GN

31
Q

name the protein that is pathognomonic for fibrillary GN

A

DNAJB9

32
Q

the most common mutation causing FSGS involves which of the ff?
a.) nephrin
b.) megalin
c.) podocin
d.) VEGF

A

Podocin

33
Q

which of the ff can be caused by ICPIS?
a.) AIN, especially with PPIs
b.) AIN, especially with H2B
c.) hypokalemia from adrenalitis
d.) hyponatremia from cerebral salt wasting

A

AIN esp with PPIs

34
Q

Congo Red positivity can be seen win which 2 of the ff?
a) amyloidosis
b) DDD
c) Fibrillary GN

A

amyloidosis and fibrillary GN

35
Q

Which of the ff is associated with TMA?
a) quinine
b) chlorthalidone
c) ciprofloxacin
d) propranolol

A

Quinine. Note that tonic water has quinine added to it

36
Q

Normal kappa to lambda FLC ratio behaves in which of the ff ways? (nL is 0.26 to 1.65)
a) decreases in CKD
b) increases with CKD
c) increases with liver failure
d) can increase as an acute phase reactant

A

increases with CKD,
nL ratio in CKD is 0.37 to 3.1

37
Q

which of the ff is a/w MPGN?
a) IgAN
b) C4 deficiency
c) Quinine
d) Monoclonal gammopathies

A

monoclonal gammopathies

38
Q

Which patient with renal antiGBM disease is most likely to have lung hemorrhage?
a) younger patient
b) patient with Alport;s after renal transplantation
c) older patient

A

younger patient. Patients with Alport’s can form anti-GBM Abs after transplant and get crescentic GN (IgAN), but their lungs lack the antigen, so lung hemorrhage is NOT present.
Older patients have LESS lung hemorrhage

39
Q

Which glomerulopathy is a/w smallest fibrils on EM?
a) Immunotactoid
b) fibrillary GN
c) cryoglobulinemia
d) amyloidosis

A

Amyloidosis

40
Q

name a membranous GN antigen a/w cancer (bonus: name 2)

A

thrombospondin 7a
NELL1

41
Q

what is the preferred class of antihypertension drugs for VEGF inhibitor induced hypertension?

A

calcium channel blockers

42
Q

what is the typical histologic findings of warfarin nephropathy?

A

RBC casts

43
Q

what type of AKI is caused by the ICPI, pembrolizumab?

A

acute interstitial nephritis
PD-1 inhibitors are thought to cause AIN through suppression of T cell immunity. It is more common in patients on PPI. Mgt: stop the ICPI and start steroids.

44
Q

name a renal disease for which plasmapheresis is universally accepted?

A

anti-GBM disease

45
Q

What needs to be monitored 10-14 days after giving cyclophosphamide?

A

Monitor CBC, to check for lymphopenia. If there is lymphopenia, CYC dose needs to be decrease

46
Q

name 2 causes of cortical necrosis

A
  1. catastrophic APA
  2. TMA
  3. DIC
  4. Viper bite
  5. postpartum HUS
  6. Amniotic fluid embolism
  7. septic abortion
  8. placental abruption
47
Q

name 2 causes of AKI in MM

A
  1. cast nephropathy
  2. acute uric acid nephropathy
  3. hypercaclcemia
  4. plasma cell infiltration of the kidneys
48
Q

what are causes of diuretic resistance in nephrotic syndrome? (3)

A
  1. direct activation of ENaC by elevated levels of urinary plasmin (“overfill”)
  2. decreased intravascular volume from reduced oncotic pressure
  3. capillary permeability, leading to RAA activation (“underfill”).
49
Q

what assay is used to help diagnose Fabry disease?

A

measure alpha-galactosidase activity.

50
Q

What are the classic manifestations of Fabry disease?

A

neuropathy, skin telangiectasias, and corneal opacities.

51
Q

What is the classic EM finding of Alport syndrome?

A

a lamellated appearance of the GBM

52
Q

what is the role of IHC of skin biopsy in Alport syndrome?

A

Immunostaining for type IV collagen alpha chains
can confirm absence of alpha 5 type IV collagen in
X-linked Alport patients, mosaic patchy staining in
carrier females, and presence of alpha 5 type IV
collagen only in Bowman’s capsule and distal tubules but not in GBMs in patients with autosomal
recessive Alport

53
Q

Acanthocytes __ % of total erthryocytes in the urine microscopy, are suggestive of glomerular disease

A

Acanthocytes > 5% the total erthryocytes

54
Q

A uATPR on a spot urine of ___ mg/mg is associated with glomerular disease

A

A uATPR of > 0.6 mg/mg

55
Q

What is normal RBCs/hpf in urine microscopy?

A

1-3 RBCs/hpf OR < 4 RBCs/hpf

56
Q

Urine is red in color, + blood in the dipstick but negative for RBCs on microscopy.

A

Hemoglobinuria

57
Q

What is the overall incidence of AIN among native kidney biopsies for whatever reason?

A

2-5%

58
Q

What are the top 3 medications associated with drug induced AIN?
