Goljan renal Flashcards
Lupus
antibody = anti-dsDNA antigen = DNA
deposit in glomerular capillaries
If immune complex too big,
then stuck underneath endothelial cell nucleus and can’t get thru basement membrane to podocyte
post strep GN
bacterial antigen + antibody
small antibodies can go thru basement membrane and deposit on epithelial side = subepithelial deposit
how to visualize immune complex
electron microscopy
Goodpasture’s on EM
linear pattern due to anti-GBM antibodies
type 2
granular pattern on EM means…
immune complex disease type 3
1) lupus
2) post-strep GN
only glomerulonephritis truly diagnose with immunofluorescence
IgA glomerulonephritis
no IgG
2 types of glomerulonephritis
1) nephritic
2) nephrotic
definition of nephritic glomerulonephritis
1) red cell casts
2) inflamm of glomerulus = spill
definition of nephrotic syndrome
1) fatty casts
2) > 3.5 g/24 hr urine
3) edema
too many glomeruli > 100
proliferative glomerulonephritis
patient had scarlet fever 2 weeks ago
now with hematuria, RBC casts, mild-mod proteinuria, HTN, periorbital edema
post-strep glomerulonephritis
35 y/o woman with + ANA with rim pattern = anti-dsDNA
type of GN
diffuse proliferative GN
lupus on EM
endocapillary wire loops
diffuse prolif GN
subendotheial immune deposits
prolif parietal epith cells not in glomerulus with crescent around
crescentic GN
worst GN
crescentic GN go into ARF within 3 months without dialysis
most common crescentic GN disease
goodpasture’s
still nephritic
polyarteritis nodosa
Wegener’s
maltese crosses
pathopneumonic for
cholesterol in urine
nephrotic syndrome
