Nephrotic and nephritic syndromes Flashcards
Characteristics of nephrotic syndrome
>3.5g proteinuria hypoalbuminemia edema hyperlipidema lipiduria
Characteristics of nephritic syndrome
Decreased renal function hypertenaion RBC and RBC casts Edema Proteinuria <3.5g/day
Periorbital edema
nephrotic syndrome.
Maltese crosses on urinalysis
lipiduria characteristic of nephrotic syndrome . “Refractile bodies”
Associated with a hyper coagulable state because of increased coagulation factors, increased platelet aggregation, and decreased ATIII
nephrotic syndrome
Increased risk for bacterial infections
nephrotic syndrome-loss of immunoglobulins and complement components
Normal renal function with 4+ protein on urinalysis and hyaline casts
Minimal change disease (nephrotic syndrome)
Peak incidence 2-6 years old, preference for males
Minimal change disease, nephrotic syndrome
History of allergy
Hodgkins lymphoma
NSAIDs
Minimal Change Disease (a nephrotic syndrome)
Normal light microscopy
negative IF
EM showing foot process fusion
minimal change disease (a nephrotic syndrome
Podocytes strangely expressing CD 80
Minimal change disease (a nephrotic syndrome)
Common in young adults (2-40) and African Americans
FSGS
suPAR
FSGS
Nephrotic syndrome that presents with proteinuria and hypertension. Urinary sediment often has RBCs
FSGS
Nephrotic syndrome associated with heroin usage
FSGS
Nephrotic syndrome associated with HIV
FSGS
nephrotic syndrome that can be idiopathic or related to minimal change disease
FSGS
Collapsing focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis
tubular dilation microcysts
reticuloendothelial inclusions
HIV nephropathy related to FSGS
APO lipoprotein L1 is the pathological factor
FSGS
Antibodies to phospholipase A2 on the podocyte
Membranous nephopathy
Related to gold and mercury drugs
Membranous nephopathy
Solid malignancies/carcinoma (breast, lung, GI tract, renal)
Membranous nephopathy
Immune deposits in the capillary
Membranous nephopathy
The following tests:
- CBC
- CXR, mammogram, stool test for occult blood, -sigmoidoscopy
Should be performed if this disease is suspected
Membranous nephopathy
