Q

Nephrotic Syndrome - is BV low?

A

No - edema without low BV because primary problem is with salt excretion

Q

Management nephrotic

A

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

Q

FSGS treatment

A

steroids - does not respond well to treatment

Calcineurin inhibitors / MMF

23
Q

HIV nephropathy

presents as FSGS - additional characteristics?

A

collapsed glomerular tuft
cystic tubules
tubuloreticular inclusions (reticuloendothelial)

RESPONDS to antivirals

24
Q

Membranous nephropathy

associations

A

cancer / lupus / hepB/ Hg

25
Q

membranous nephropathy

histology

A

biopsy shows BM thickening - normocellular - granular immune complex deposits that are subepithelial

26
Q

Treatment MN?

A

Steroids and cytoxin (as is immune complex mediated)

27
Q

GRANULAR DEPOSITS - SUBEPITHEIAL

A

Membranous

28
Q

what test should you do on patients with membranous?

A

cancer screen

29
Q

pathogeneis membranous?

A

Antibody to PLA2R on podocyte which is then shed and lodges in subepithelium -

30
Q

mercury linked to?

A

membranous

31
Q

HBV linked to?

A

membranous

deposits contain HBe antigen

32
Q

Membranoproliferative GN

presentation

A

HTN

Mildly reduced renal function

33
Q

MPGN Type I

associations

A

HCV
(low C3 and C4 AND + RF)
low grade infection
idiopathic

34
Q

MPGN pathology

A

GBM thickening
hypercellularity
granular immune complex deposits (SUBENDOTHELIAL)

35
Q

MPGN treatment

A

treat HCV

Steroids

36
Q

nephrotic that is HTN

A

MPGN

37
Q

MPGN type 1

complement?

A

low c3 and c4

classic pathway

38
Q

MPGN type 2

complement disorder

A

low c3 normal c4 (because activates alternate)

usually childhood

39
Q

nephrotic syndrome blood anomalies?

A

in addition to the loss of protein we see hypercholesteremia / hypokalemia / hyponatremai

40
Q

what happens to the glomerulus in nephrotic syndrome?

A

epithelial cell detachment and BM degradation - loss of polyanion

41
Q

Pathogenesis of Glomerular injury? MCD/FSGS

A
Non-inflammatory 
circulating factors/Ig's bind GEC membranes and or GBM without fixing complement
--> loss of polyanion 
--> GEC detachment 
(MCD/FSGS)
42
Q

Pathogenesis of Glomerular injury in membranous

A

Non-inflammatory
complement fixing anti-GEC Ab’s
alternative complement pathway
may involve oxidants/proteases

43
Q
minimal change nephropathy
clinical
morph
EM
IF
Tx/Prog
A
nephrotic syndrome
no change
EM - foot process effacment
IF negative
steroids/good

some circulating factor that we don’t know - CD80 starts to show

44
Q

FSGS
cause
treatment

A

unknown CF
can also be due to HIV/Heroine/hyperfiltration in late stage renal disease
steroids - relapse common

45
Q

Membranous

A
circulating immunoglobulins attack podocyte PLA2R
Subepithelial 
spikes / bm thickening
stain c3/5 - granular BM
Steroids
46
Q

Membranous 85% idio

15% other?

A
