Glomerular Disease Flashcards
visceral epithelium
podocytes; also negatively charged. interdigited with foot process
endothelium
fenestrated cytoplasm coated with negatively charged glycoprotein
basement membrane
proteoglycans
laminin
collagen IV
what is BM shaped like
triple helical alpha molcule
hook like non-collagenous domain
mutations in basement membrane lead to
alport syndrome
fx of mesangium
cntracts to regulate glomerular blood flow
tethers to GBM to counteract capillary distentsion pressure
produces GFs and cytokines
phagocytoses debris
two types of glomerular injury due to antibodies
insitu complex deposition
circuling immune complex nephritis
two types of insitu deposition (ab specific to glom)
anti-gbm nephritis
membranous BN
Anti GBM nephritis
Ig against NC1 domain of Collagen IV
IF shows LINEAR immune staining
Goodpasture syndrome is a type of ____ that causes_____
antiGBM nephritis
cross reaction with alveolar basement membrane
Membranous GN
GP330 homolog, Mtype PLA2R–>binding–>C-activation–>subepithelial deposits
circulating immune complex nephritis means that
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
Three component of any kidney biopsy
light microscopy
immunofloresence
electromicroscopy
way to classify LMs
kidney- focal (some glomeruli) vs difffuse (all glom)
glomerulus: segmental vs global
IF immunocomplex patterns
linear- anti GBM disease, light chain deposition (multiple myeloma)
granular- immune complex
nonsepcific patterns
things to evalute on EM
e- dense deposits
podocyte charges
GBM alterations
ddx of glomerular disease
nephrotic
nephritic
hematuric
rapidly progressive GN
5 types of nephrotic syndrome
minimal change disease FSGS membraneous GN diabetes amyloidosis
3 types nephritic syndrome
post infectious GN
MPGN
lupus nephritis
3 types of hematuric GD
alport syndrome
TBM
IgA nephropathy
clinical features of nephrotic sydnrome
proteinuria
hypoalbuminemia
edema (decreased oncotic and increased Na retneiton)
hypercholesterolemia (inc prod, dec catabolism)
minimal change disease is the MC of nephrotic syndrome in
children
MCD is often secondary to
lymphoma, NSAIDs
what will you see on tests with MCD?
EM: effacement of foot processes
