Glomerulonphritides Flashcards
Neuroblastoma characteristics
ALK gene - anapestic lymphoma kinase
adrenal medulla, sympathetic chain (paravertebral of abdomen, posterior mediastinum, pelvis, neck, brain
invade kidney, venal v., vena cava, envelop aorta
Homer-Wright pseudo rosettes
peripheral halo
Mets: lymph spread; blood to liver, lungs, bone marrow, bones; periorbital (proptosis, ecchymosis)
less than 2, large abdominal mass, fever, weight loss, older kids: mets S/S: bone pain, respiratory symptoms, GI complaints
Bladder/bowel dysfunction
neonates - blueberry muffin baby
Elevated serum catecholamines, elevated urine VMA and HVA
Unfavorable: MYCN amplification, Chr 1q and 11q loss, TRKB expression, mutations of neuritogenesis genes
Staging of NB
1: local, complete excision, LN negative
2A: local, incomplete excision, LN negative
2B: local, w/ or w/o complete excision, ipsilateral non adherent LN positive, enlarged contralateral LN
3: unresectable, cross midline, w/ or w/o LN OR local unilateral tumor w/ contralateral LN positive
4: distant LN involvement, bone, bone marrow, liver, skin involvement
4S: local tumor, dissemination limited to skin, liver and/or bone marrow - less than 1 yo
Wilms tumor genetics
WAGR: 11p13 deletion - WNT1, PAX6
DDS: dominant negative missense - zinc finger of WT1
BWS: 11q15.5 WT2 imprinting - loss of IGF2 imprinting = over expression); CDKN1C (p57 or KIP2) low risk
Beta-catenin - WNT - sporadic
Wilms tumor characteristics
Nephrogenic rests
Blastemal: small blue cells
Epithelial: abortive tubules or glomeruli
Stromal: fibrocytic or myxoid, sk.m. differentiation
Anaplasia - T53 mutation - resistance to chemo
Lower pole large expansile tumor
large abdominal mass, unilateral crossing midline, down to pelvis
hematuria, abd pain after trauma, intestinal obstruction, HTN
Pulmonary mets
Poor prognosis: anaplasia, Chr 11q, 16p loss; gain Chr 1q
WAGR syndrome
Wilms tumor, Aniridia, Genital anomalies, mental Retardation
Denys-Drash Syndrome
gonadal dysgenesis
early onset nephropathy leading to renal failure
diffuse mesangial sclerosis
Risk of WT and gonadoblastomas
Beckwith-Widemann Syndrome
Organomegaly macroglossia hemihypertrophy omphalocele adrenal cytomegaly
Risk: WT, hepatoblastoma, pancreatoblastoma, adrenocortical tumors, rhabdomyosarcoma
Post infectious Glomerulonephritis
Streptococcal pyogenic exotoxin B (speB)
Types 12, 4, 1 M protein
Elevated Antistreptococcal antibody titers
Decline in C3 concentration
elevated BUN
Granular IgG (IgA in staph) and C3 in GBM and mesagium
Early sub endothelial deposits, complex dissociates, crosses GBM, reforms as sub epithelial humps
nephritic syndrome
abrupt onset 1-2 weeks after sore throat
Adults: sudden HTN, edema
Good pasture syndrome (RPGNI)
Anti-GBM COL4-A3 antigen
HLA-DRB1
Diffuse linear IgG and C3
Fibrin crescents
Recurrent hemoptysis (lung hemorrhage)
RPGNII - immune complex
Granular immune complex deposition
influx of leukocytes in glomerular tuft
RPGNIII - pauci immune
ANCAs
no anti GBM antibodies or immune complexes
c-ANCA - Wegner’s - sinusitis
p-ANCA - asthma and polyangitis
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
90% cresentric GN
Hyalinized glomeruli
Contracted kidneys, thinned cortex, peripelvic fat
atrophy of tubules, irregular interstitial fibrosis
loss of appetite, anemia, V, weakness, edema
Membranous nephropathy
PLA2R antigen HLA-DQA1 Rising serum creatinine C5b-C9 MAC- capillary walls leaky Granular IgG4 and C3 diffuse Sub epithelial Ig deposits Effacement of podocyte foot processes Spikes and dones Segmental sclerosis Protein droplets in PT Nephrotic syndrome
Women- spontaneous remission, benign
SLE: self nuclear proteins and autoAb
Tumors: lung, colon, melanoma
Drugs: NSAIDs, penicillamine
Minimal change disease
Angiopoietin-like 4

Follows respiratory infection or immunization
respond to corticosteroids or immunosuppressive tx
Focal Segmental glomerulosclerosis
Slit diaphragm protein mutations:
NPHS1: 19q13 - nephron
