1
Q

What is Primary glomerulonephritis?

A

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

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
In what glomerular disease conditions is C3 in blood low?
MPGN type II (persitentantly low) Post streptococcal GN (transiently low) IgA nephopathy
26
Another name for MPGN type II
Dense Deposit Disease
27
Be able to explain this graph and how this leads to low C3 in the blood.
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
Describe diffuse involvement of glomeruli
involving all glomeruli > 50% of them
29
Describe Global involvement histopathology in renal system.
entire glomerulus
30
Describe focal involvement in histological slides of glomerulus.
affecting few glomeruli < 50%
31
Describe segmental involvement of glomerulus histopathology.
inv. only a proportion of a few glomerulus
32
Be able to reproduce the chart.

35
Describe what is being seen here. What is the condition?

37
What is a characteristic feature of membranous GN?
