Nephritic Syndrome Flashcards
Presents 2-3 weeks after infection as hematuria (cola-colored urine), oliguria, hypertension, and periorbital edema
PSGN - most frequently in children; resolves spontaneously, may lead to renal failure in adults
Hypercellular, inflamed glomeruli on H&E
“lumpy-bumpy” appearance
PSGN
Granular Immune Deposition
PSGN & DPGN
Subepithelial IC humps and subendothelial deposits
PSGN
Occurs with nephritogenic strains (that carry M protein)
PSGN
Linear IF pattern
Goodpasture’s
Antibody against collagen in GBM and alveolar basement membrane
Goodpasture’s, Type II HS
“Wire looping” of capillaries, subendothelial and sometimes GBM deposits with C3 deposition (low complement)
DPGN
Most common cause of death in SLE
DPGN
SLE and MPGN can present as nephrotic and _______
DPGN
Negative IF (pauci-immune)
Wegener’s - c-ANCA (look for hemoptysis, sinusitis)
Microscopic polyangiitis - p-ANCA
Churg-Strauss - Eos, granulomas, asthma
Cresent-moon shapes consisting of fibrin, plasma proteins (e.g. C3b) with glomerular parietal cells, monocytes, and macrophages
RPGN - rapidly deteriorating renal function in days to weeks
Several disease processes result in RPGN -
- Goodpasture’s
- Wegener’s
- Microscopic Polyangiitis
Related to Henloch Schonlein purpura (kidney limited) - mesangial proliferation, IgA deposits
Berger’s diease, IgA nephropathy
Most common nephropathy worldwide
IgA/Berger’s
