Glomerulonephritis in Systemic Disease Flashcards
top to bottom
top: macula densa
PCT
brush border (of PCT)
glomerulus
DCT
basement membrane
leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the US
diabetic nephropathy
risk of this is greater in african americans and native americans w/ T2DM
diabetic nephropathy
2 main lesions of diabetic nephropathy
- glomerular lesions
- renal vascular lesions
main type of glomerular lesion seen in DN
nodular glomerulosclerosis
what specific nodules seen in glomerulosclerosis in patient with diabetes nephropathy
Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules
Kimmelsteil-Wilson nodules (DN)
nodular sclerosis of DN
main renal vascular lesion seen in diabetic nephropathy
renal arteriosclerosis (afferent and efferent)
what is seen under light microscopy in diabetic nephropathy
nodular glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial sclerosis
what is seen under immunofluorescence for diabetic nephropathy
IgG linear staining
what is seen under electron microscopy for diabetic nephropathy
diffuse thickening of GBM and increased mesangial matrix!!!
anti-IgG stain
diabetic nephropathy
nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis; what is seen
increased mesangial matrix and GBM thickening
insudative lesions also seen in DN
this nephritis shows kidney abnormalities in IF and EM stains
lupus nephritis
gold standard to diagnose renal disease
renal biopsy
3 things to look for in renal biopsy of patient with lupus nephritis
- wire loops (crescents)
- full house on IF
- tubuloreticular inclusions
class I and II lupus nephritis deals with what
mesangium
IF and EM of class I and II lupus nephritis shows what
mesangial immune complex deposition
main takeaway of lupus nephritis class III
lesions in <50% of glomeruli (focal lupus nephritis)
lupus nephritis class
class III
main takeaway of lupus nephritis class IV
> /= 50% glomeruli affected (diffuse lupus nephritis)
in class IV lupus nephritis, what is seen on LM
wire loops
in class IV lupus nephritis, what is seen on IF
full house
in class IV lupus nephritis, what is seen on EM
tubuloreticular inclusions
wire loops seen, what class of lupus nephritis
class IV
wire loops seen, what class of lupus nephritis
class IV
