Nephrotic Flashcards
5 primary renal nephrotic
Hereditary Nephrotic Syndromes
Minimal change disease
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Membranous nephropathy
Membranoprolifeartive GN
3 systemic nephrotic
Diabetes
Amyloid and Light Chain
SLE (membranous)
3 Primary renal Nephritic
Post Infectious
IgA
Rapid Progressive GN
2 systemic Nephritic
Vasculitis (ANCA) Immune Complex (SLE / HSP)
Nephrotic Syndrome - is BV low?
No - edema without low BV because primary problem is with salt excretion
5 SIGNS NEPHROTIC
Prtoeinuria Hypoalbuminemia Lipiduria (oval fat bodies) Hyperlipidemia Edema
Complications of nephrotic
Hypercoagulable
Infection
Decreased VitD
Management nephrotic
ACE-I helps proteinuria (even though drops GFR a tiny bit due to efferent constriction - the drop in proteinuria is worth it)
Low Salt
Diuretics
Most common children
MCD
Most common adults
Membranous and FSGS
Hereditary nephrotic
presentation
infant / child
edema
FtoT
polyhydraminos on ultrasound
Hereditary nephrotic
etiology
mutations in nephrin / podocin
Minimal change disease
presentation
2-8y/o
edema / ascites / weight gain
normal blood pressure
MCD
Labs
renal function normal or slightly depressed
urinalsyis - 4+ protein, hyaline casts, microscopic hematuria (Rare)
MCD associations
allergy/atopy
Hodgkins
NSAIDS
MCD Patho
circulating permeability factor
leads to podocyte injury
(foot process fusion - expression of CD80 in podocytes)
MCD treatment
steroids (prednisone)
short course cytoxan if relapse
MCD
LM
IF
EM
LM - normal
IF - negative
EM - foot process fusion
FSGS
Labs
renal function normal or slightly depressed
4+ protein, hyaline casts, microscopic hematuria
FSGS associations
usually idiopathic
HIV
FSGS pathophsyiology
ciruclating factor (unknown)
Viral factor in HIV
