Lecture midterm #2 Flashcards
NephrITIC syndrome: characterized by increase in glomerular permeability to
RBCs
NephrOTIC syndrome: characterized by increase in glomerular permeability to
proteins
- asymptomatic patient presents with elevated creatinine in blood
azotemia
with hypertension in nephritic syndrome, the first secretion would be:
renin (then angiotensinogen, angiotensin I, angiotensin II)
spaces between podocytes/basement membrane
- Heymann’s GMN
rapidly progressing crescentic GMN what cells undergo hyperplasia and merge to form crescents?
parietal cells of bowman’s capsule
Which disease forms cavities in the lungs?
wegener’s granulomatosis
what is the kidney syndrome that develops in henoch-schonlein purapura
Nephritic syndrome
not involved in polyarteritis nodosa
lungs
what is the most common cause of GMN in the world?
IgA nephropathy/berger’s disease
assocaited with tibial and radial arteries, classic symptom of instep claudication
Buerger’s Disease
Glomerulonephritis with other symptoms such as lens dislocation, cataracts, hearing problems
alport syndrome
Most common type of nephrITIC syndrome to turn chronic
rapidly progressing crescentic
most common type of nephrOTIC syndrome to turn chronic
focal glomerulosclerosis
characteristics of nephrotic syndrome
proteinuria > hypoalbuminemia > generalized edema > hyperlipidemia and lipiduria
ball-like deposits within the mesangial cells
- Kimmel wilson lesions
Kimmel wilson lesions are due to
nodular glomerulosclerosis
strongest predisposing factor for development of acute pyelonephritis
acute cystitis
most common spread in acute cystitis/ pyelonephritis
ascending
are superficial, multiple, fast recovery
erosions
