Focal and segmental mesangial proliferation and ibcreased mesangial matrix
IgA Nephropathy
Renal histo: epithelial crescent formation and sclerosis
IgA Nephropathy
Gross hematuria that occurs 1-2 days after an upper respiratory or GI infection
(+) loin pain
Normal C3
IgA Nephropathy
Nephritis associated with gene mutations for Type IV collagen
Alport Syndrome (Hereditary Nephritis)
Renal histo:
- mesangial proliferation and capillary wall thickening leading to PROGRESSIVE GLOMERULAR SCLEROSIS
- diffuse thickening, splittinh and layering of glomerular and tubular basement membranes
(+) FOAM CELLS (lipid containing tubular or interstitial cells)
Alport Syndrome (Hereditary Nephritis)
Asymptomatic microscopic hematuria, intermittent
1-2 days after URTI
Bilateral SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS (NEVER CONGENITAL)
ANTERIOR LENTICONUS
(+) family history of renal disease
Alport Syndrome (Hereditary Nephritis)
Sudden onset of GROSS hematuria, edema, hupertension and renal insufficiency
(+) history of yhroat or skin infection
Renal histo: lumpy bumpy appearance of glomerulus

Type II MPGN
MPGN associated with partial lipodystrophy (diffuse loss of adipose tissue and decreased complement
Type II MPGN
Gold standard for establishing SLE nephritis
