Q

circulating immune complex nephritis means that

A

antigens arent specific to glomeruli but end up on GBM because of its properties and hemodynamic factors
EM will show deposits (exo or endogenous) in subepithelial, mesangial, etc
anionic-subendo
cationic-subepithelial
neutral- mesangium

24
Q

tests for FSGS

A

LM: segmental collapse ins caring in SOME glomeruli
EM: effacement foot processes, thick BM
IF: - except some IgM/C3 trapping

25
Q

FSGS etiology

A

can be either idiopathic (suPAR) or secondary (family, adaptive, viruses (parvo, hiv), drugs (heroin, lithium)

26
Q

evolution of membranous glomeruopathy

A

immune complex deposits accumulate—>GBM reacts by forming spike like projects–>grow to spike and dome–>lead to thickened basement membranes

27
Q

MG is the main cause of nephrotic syndrome in

A

adults

28
Q

etiology of MGNopathy

A

primary and secondary (drugs, tumors, lupus, infx)

29
Q

tests and MGpathy

A

LM: suepithelial immune deposits
EM-subepithelial spike like projects of GBM
IF: diffuse GRANULAR pattern–Igg, c3

30
Q

LM of diabetes early and late

A

early: glomerular hypertrophy, widened sclerotic mesangium, thickend GBM
advanced progressive GBM thickening with KW spots, microaneurysms, arteriolar hylinization

31
Q

EM for diabetes

A

thick GBM

mesangial sclerosis

32
Q

IF for diabetes

A

neg for deposits

33
Q

LM for amyloidosis

A

mesangial and GBM deposition of b pleated amyloid

congo red!

34
Q

EM amyloidosis

A
