LESSON 7: RENAL DISEASES Flashcards
RENAL DISEASES
•Glomerular •Tubular •Interstitial
•Majority are of immune origin
Glomerular Disorders
•Exposure to chemicals and toxins
Glomerular Disorders
•Disruption of the electrical membrane charges
Glomerular Disorders
•Deposition of amyloid material from systemic disorders
Glomerular Disorders
•Basement membrane thickening
Glomerular Disorders
refers to a sterile, inflammatory process that affects the glomerulus and is associated with the finding of blood, protein, and casts in the urine
glomerulonephritis
•Immune-mediated
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
•Acute onset of usually grossly visible hematuria
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
•RBC casts
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
•Mild to moderate proteinuria
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
•Hypertension
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
•Oliguria
NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
Deposition of immune complexes, formed in conjunction of Group A Streptococcus infection on the glomerular membranes
Acute PoststreptococcalGlomerulonephritis
•Deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders (ex: SLE) on the glomerular membrane
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulonephritis
•Deposition of antiglomerularbasement membrane antibody to glomerular and alveolar basement membranes.
GoodpastureSyndrome
•causes a granuloma-producing inflammation of the small blood vessels of primarily the kidney and respiratory system
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
•Dx: (+)Antineutrophiliccytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
•Occurs in children following viral respiratory infections
Henoch-SchonleinPurpura
•Allergic purpurathat causes decrease in the number of platelets and affects vascular integrity
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
•Apronounced thickening of the glomerular basement membrane resulting from the deposition of IgGimmune complexes
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
•Seen in SLE, Sjogren’ssyndrome, secondary syphilis and hepatitis B infection
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
•Cellular proliferation affecting capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis(MPGN)
•Gradual worsening of symptoms leading to loss of kidney function
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
•Progression to renal failure
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
(result of tubular dysfunction)
Glucosuria
•most common cause of glomerulonephritis
IgA nephropathy/Berger’s Disease
•IgA deposition on the glomerular membrane leading to thickening
IgA nephropathy/Berger’s Disease
•Disruption of the electrical charges of the basement membrane leading to massive loss of proteins and lipids
NephroticSyndrome
•Genetic disorder showing lamellatedand thinning of glomerular basement membrane.
AlportSyndrome
•Lipid nephrosis
Minimal Change Disease
•Little cellular changes
Minimal Change Disease
•Disruption of podocytesoccurring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunizations
Minimal Change Disease
•Most common cause of end-stagerenal disease
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
•Glomerular membrane thickening
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
•Increased proliferation of mesangialcells
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
•Increased deposition of cellular and noncellularmaterials
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
•Deposition of glycosylated proteins on the glomerular basement membranes caused by poorly controlled blood glucose levels
Diabetic Nephropathy/Kimmelstiel-Wilson
•actual damage to the tubules and those in which a metabolic or hereditary disorder affects the intricate functions of the tubules.
Tubular Disorders
•Damage to the renal tubular epithelial cells due to ischemiaand nephrotoxic agents
Acute Tubular Necrosis
