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
