Question 1

Nomenclature (Renal) - Focal (Char/Eg)

Answer 1

< 50% of glomeruli are involved / Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

Question 2

Nomenclature (Renal) - Diffuse (Char/Eg)

Answer 2

> 50% of glomeruli are involved / Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis

Question 3

Nomenclature (Renal) - Proliferative (Char/Eg)

Answer 3

Hypercellular glomeruli / Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Question 4

Nomenclature (Renal) - Membranous (Char/Eg)

Answer 4

Thickening of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) / Membranous nephropathy

Question 5

Nomenclature (Renal) - Primary glomerular disease (Char/Eg)

Answer 5
