Nephrotic syndrome Flashcards
Nephrotic syndrome basic principles
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
minimal change disease most common in ?
children
MCD -minimal change disease associated with
hodgkins lymphoma
MCD -minimal change disease principle
no immuno diposits/ selective proteinuria -only albumin loss/excellent response to steroids /
focal segmental glomeruloscelrosis (FSFG) common in
hispanics and african americans
focal segmental glomeruloscelrosis (FSFG) etiology
sickle cell
HIV
heroin use
focal segmental glomeruloscelrosis (FSFG) principles
focal and segmental membrane deposits
effacement of foot processes on EM
no immune complexes
poor response to steroids –progresses to chronic renal failure
Membranous nephrotpathy
thick glomerular basement membrane
immune complex deposits
spike and dome appearance
poor response to steroids -progresses to chronic renal failure
which respond poorly to steroid and progress to chronic renal failure
membranous nephropathy and
FSFG
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
membranous nephropathy etiology
hep b hep c SLE tumor that are solid drugs like NSAIDS and penicillamine
membranous nephropathy common among ?
caucasian adults
membranous nephropathy can progress to ?
chronic renal failure
membranoproliferative glomeruloneptritis morphology
thick basement membrane on h and e
tram track appearance due to immune complex deposition
membranoproliferative glomeruloneptritis principles
divided in two
type 1 associated with sunendothelial
type 2 associated with dense deposit disease
type 1 membranoproliferative glomeruloneptritis
subendothelial associated with HBV/HCV
