MIDTERM- RENAL DISEASE Flashcards
disruption of the electrical membrane charges as occurs in the
____ syndrome.
nephrotic syndrome
The term ___ 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
what are the components we can found in the urine of a patient with glomerulonephritis?
protein, blood, and cast
___is a
disease marked by the sudden onset of symptoms consistent
with damage to the glomerular membrane.
acute glomerulonephritis (AGN)
signs and symptoms for acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
These may include
fever, edema (most noticeably around the eyes), fatigue,
hypertension, oliguria, and hematuria.
which bacteria or strains can be associated with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis?
group a streptococcus with M protein
what is the primary urinalyss findings for acute post-streptococcal glumeronephritis
Primary urinalysis findings include marked
hematuria,
proteinuria, and oliguria, accompanied by red blood cell (RBC)
casts, dysmorphic RBCs, hyaline and granular casts, and white
blood cells (WBCs).
A more serious form of acute glomerular disease is called ___ and has a much
poorer prognosis, often terminating in renal failure.
rapid progressive (or crescentic) glomerulonephritis
Symptoms
are initiated by deposition of immune complexes in the glomerulus, often as a complication of another form of glomerulonephritis or an immune systemic disorder such as systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE).
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulonephritis
Damage by macrophages to the capillary
walls releases cells and plasma into Bowman’s space, and the
production of CRESCENTIC FORMATION containing macrophages, fibroblasts, and polymerized fibrin, causes permanent damage to
the capillary tufts.
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulonephritis
Morphologic changes to the glomeruli resembling those in rap
idly progressive glomerular nephritis are seen in conjunction
with the autoimmune disorder termed ___
Goodpasture syndrome
A cytotoxic autoantibody can appear against the glomerular
and alveolar basement membranes after
viral respiratory infections.
Attachment of autoantibody to the basement membrane, followed by complement activation, produces the
capillary destruction. Referred to as ___ , the autoantibody can be detected in
patient serum.
antiglomerular basement membrane antibody
what are the initial pulmonary complains for Goodpasture syndrome
hemoptysis and dyspnea
urinary results commonly for Goodpasture syndrom
results include proteinuria, hematuria, and the presence of
RBC casts.
Wegener granulomatosis causes a ___of the small blood vessels primarily of the kidney
and respiratory system.
granuloma-producing INFLAMMATION
Key to the diagnosis of Wegener
granulomatosis is the demonstration of ____in the patient’s serum.
antineutrophilic
cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)
In ANCAor anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody testing,
we fix the serum in either ethanol or formalin/formaldehyde ad examine it through immunofixation.
If the neutrophils are fixed in ethanol, the antibodies form a perinuclear pattern called ___
p-ANCA
In ANCAor anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody testing,
we fix the serum in either ethanol or formalin/formaldehyde ad examine it through immunofixation.
When the neutrophils are
fixed with formalin/formaldehyde, the pattern is granular throughout the cytoplasm called ___
c-ANCA.
fixating serum for testing anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody for the detection of wegener granulomatosis
ethanol vs formalin
ethanol: perinuclear pattern - p anca
formalin: granular patter - c anca
___ disease occurs primarily in children after upper respiratory infections. As its name implies,
initial symptoms include the appearance of raised, red patches
on the skin
Henoch-Schönlein purpura
In Henoch-Schonlein Purpura, what is the most serious complication of the disorder
Renal involvement, may range from mild to heavy proteinuria and hematuria
with RBC casts.
few of the symptoms for this type of Glomerulonephritis
Respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, including blood in the sputum and stools, may be present
Henoch-Schönlein Purpura
The predominant characteristic of ___ is a pronounced thickening of the glomerular
basement membrane resulting from the deposition of a specific immunoglobulin immune complexes
membranous glomerulonephritis
membranous glomerulonephritis’s distinct clinical manifestation is the thickening of the glomerular basement membrane resulting from the deposition of what immunoglobulin immune complexes?
immunoglobulin G immune complexes
Disorders associated
with membranous glomerulonephritis development include ____
Systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren syndrome
secondary syphilis
hepatitis B,
gold and mercury treatments
malignancy.
a glomerulonephritis which has a rule of
the disease progresses SLOWLY, with possible
REMISSION; however, nephrotic syndrome symptoms frequently develop.
membranous glomerulonephritis
a glomerulonephritis that is marked
by two different alterations in the cellularity of the glomerulus
and peripheral capillaries
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)
what are the 2 different alterations in the cellularity of the glomerulus and peripheral capillaries
Type 1 displays increased cellularity in the subendothelial cells of the mesangium (interstitial area of Bowman’s capsule)
type 2 displays extremely dense deposits in the
glomerular basement membrane. M
which type of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is has the possibility of developing a necrotic syndrome
Type 1
which type of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis can experience the symptoms of chronic glomerulonephritis
type 2
laboratory findings for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
The laboratory findings vary, but hematuria, proteinuria, and decreased
serum complement levels are usual findings.
a type of glomerulonephritis that has tendency toward THROMBOSIS
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
laboratory findings for chronic glomerulonephritis
Examination of the urine reveals hematuria, proteinuria,
glucosuria as a result of tubular dysfunction, and many varieties of casts, including broad casts.
Gradually worsening symptoms for chronic glomerulonephritis are
fatigue, anemia, hypertension, edema, and oliguria
A markedly decreased
glomerular filtration rate is present in conjunction with increased BUN and creatinine levels and electrolyte imbalance

Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Also known as Berger disease
Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy
IgA nephropathy, in which
