Nephrotic syndrome Flashcards

1
Q

Nephrotic syndrome basic principles

A

loss of protein in urine (proteinuria ) loss greater than 3.6g/day
resulting in
1- hypoabunemia
2-hypogammaglobunemia -increased risk of infections
3-hypercoagulable state due to loss of antithrombin 3
4- hyperlipedemia and hypercholestrolemia

Q

focal segmental glomeruloscelrosis (FSFG) principles

A

focal and segmental membrane deposits
effacement of foot processes on EM
no immune complexes
poor response to steroids –progresses to chronic renal failure

Q

Type 2 membranoproliferative glomeruloneptritis

A

associated with C3nepritic syndrome which makes C3 convertase stable leading to overactivation of inflammation and low levels of c3

17
Q

diabetes melitus

A

leads to glycosylation of basement membranes resulting in hyaline arteriosclerosis
efferent more affected that affernt leading to high GFR
eventually progresses to neprotic syndrome -kimmerstein wilson nodules
ACE inhbitors can slow the progress

18
Q

kimmelstein wilson nodules associated with

A

diabetes millitus causing neprotic syndrome
