Q

Describe the factors affecting localization of antigen, antibody, or complexes around parts of the glomerulus.

A

Because the membrane is negatively charged…..

Small Molecules Highly cationic
Sub epithelial

Highly anionic macromolecules- Sub Endothelial

21
Q

What glomerular pathologies could contain sub endothelial deposits?

A

MPGN type 1 (membranoproliferative GN type1 ) & SLE (also sub epi & mes)

22
Q

Why renal pathology has characteristic sub epithelial humps?

A

post streptococcal GN, membranous (Heymenn nephritis)

23
Q

What type of nephropathy has only mesangial deposits?

A

IgA nephropathy

24
Q

What type of nephropathy has no immune deposits?

A

Minimal change disease, Idiopathic FSGS, Wegner’s granulomatosis, Alports/thin basement membrane disease

25
Q

In what glomerular disease conditions is C3 in blood low?

A

MPGN type II (persitentantly low)
Post streptococcal GN (transiently low)
IgA nephopathy

26
Q

Another name for MPGN type II

A

Dense Deposit Disease

27
Q

Be able to explain this graph and how this leads to low C3 in the blood.

A

Activation of the alternative pathway C3 converts is initiated.

In the body Properidin usually stabilized this pathway so C3 convertase not broken down by I, and H proteins.

In people with C3NeF autoantibody in MPGN Type 2 it will stabilize C3 convertase and more inflammation and damage will occur

C3 constantly being used and therefore less will be in blood.

28
Q

Describe diffuse involvement of glomeruli

A

involving all glomeruli > 50% of them

29
Q

Describe Global involvement histopathology in renal system.

A

entire glomerulus

30
Q

Describe focal involvement in histological slides of glomerulus.

A

affecting few glomeruli < 50%

31
Q

Describe segmental involvement of glomerulus histopathology.

A

inv. only a proportion of a few glomerulus
