Nephrotic syndromes Flashcards
Nephrotic characteristics?
1.RBC barrier mantained (NO RBC cast and NO HEMATURIA). No Glomerular endothelium inflamation.
2.Protein Barrier ruptured–>podocytes( >3.5 g/day )in a 24HR. urine test
3.Hyperlipedemia (increase liver activity)–>Fatty cast (oval bodies) or Maltose cross (polarized light)
4.DECR albumin
5.Edema (decr plasma oncotic pressure)
6.Decr Ig (incr risk infections)
7.Hypercoaguble state (decr, Anti-Thrombin3)
Nephrotic table….
Types of nephrotic syndromes
Primary (direct sclerosis and inflam to podocytes)
1.Minimal change, 2. Focal segmental, 3. Membranous Nephropathy
Secondary (Indirect)
1.Diabetic Nephropathy
2. Systemic amyloidosis
Light Microscopy (LM) and Immunoflorascense unchanged (IF)
Minimal change disease
(EFFACEMENT)=flatten out podocytes.
What type of Nephropathy present with SELECTIVE PROTENURIA?
MINIMAL CHANGE DISEASE (only damages the foot processes of podocytes and nothing else).
4 I’s Nephropathy + (Minimal Change disease)
**Idiopathic
recent Immnunization
**recent Infection
* Immune stimulus (Bee sting)
Hodkins Lymphomas; rel. of anbormal cytokines by reedsternberg cells. –>T cell cytokines rel
Hodkin Lymphoma cells and markers
CD 15+ and CD 30+ with 2 owls eye.
Minimal change disease other name
Lipoid nephrosis
Diagnosis
Child treated with corticosteroids with recent history of immunization that presented with: edema, >300mg cholesterol, >3.5g/ day protein and negative IF and LM.
Minimal change disease
-Ass. children most commonly
-Adults can have it
-Corticosteroid treatment is effective.
Why corticosteroids work in Minimal change disease?
Inhb. NF-KB (transcripton factor for potent cytokines like TNF alpha), Minimal change being related to cytokine release, greatly supress it.
Effacement child
Lipoid nephrosis
Histological Diag.
- <50% of biopsy glomerulus affected, only segments affected (not entirley) and thickening of glomerulus
- -Hyaline and effacement presentt.
(FSGS)Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.
non-selective protenuria in Nephrotic syndromes
-Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
-Membranous nephropathy
FSGS 1* and 2* associations.
1* Idiopathic.
2* Heroin, HIV infect, Congenital malformations, sickle cell, interferon tretament (Hepatitis B and C), obesity
mutations of nephrin and porocin protein located on slit diamphragm
1* FSGS association
1.LM:sclerosis + Hyalinosis
2.Pinkage color, what stain?
1.FSGS
2.PAS stain
FSGS
-Sgmental Focal thickening (protein deposits)+ Hyalinosis (PAS stain)
Prognosis od FSGS
within 10 yrs 50% develop ENRF
Membranous nephropathy other name
Membrane glomerulonephritis
Membranous glomerulonephritis 1*
Antibodies (IgG) towards phospholipase A2 (M TYPE),present serum
-phospholipase A2 are present in podocytes.
Where are phospholipase A2 recep located?
membrane of podocytes
Membranous nepgropathy 2*
-Drugs (NSAIDS, penincillamine, Gold–.R.A)
-Infection (Hepatitis B and C and syphylis)
-SLE
-Solid tumors (COLON most comm, lung , melanoma)
Membrabous Glomerulonephritis
Silver stain
Describe
Membranous Nephropathy
-Diffuse capillaries, GBM thickening (Complex deposition)+ NO HYPERCELLULARITY
SUB-EPITHELIAL DEPOSITS (imm complex) + spike and dome app
Membranous nephropathy
Membranous Nephropathy Prognosis
slow onset progression (many yr). Normal creatine .
-Exception is in Thrombosis (more quickly lose of function; ELEVATED creatinine)
site of thrombosis in Membranous Nephropathy
RENAL VEIN (quick onset of depression)
