Norton Flashcards
Hematuria, RBC casts in urine
Nephritic syndrome
Azotemia, hypertension, mild proteinuria, edema, oliguria
Nephritic syndrome
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis (post streptococcal/post infectious), nonstreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis, and rapidly progressive crescent glomerulonephritis
Nephritic syndrome
1-4wks post strep infection, children 6-10 yrs
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Group A beta hemolytic strep
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Immune complex mediated with granular immune deposits in glomeruli
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Increased anti-strep antibodies and decreased complement levels
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Light microscopy shows proliferation > Hypercellular glomeruli. Neutrophil and Monocyte infiltration
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
EM shows humps of immune complexes subepithelially (on epithelial side of BM)
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Immunofluorescence shows granular deposits of IgG, IgM, and C3 along mesangium and GBM
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Abrupt onset oliguria, hematuria, peri-orbital edema, hypertension, mild proteinuria, RBC casts
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
> 95% children recover with conservative trainer with Na and water balance
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
Adults more atypical. Have sudden onset HTN, edema, and ^ BUN. Only 60% recover promptly. Over 40% get persistent proteinuria, hematuria, HTN, chronic glomerulonephritis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Acute proliferative glomerulonephritis
After other bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection. Immunofluorescence shows granular deposits and EM shows subepithelia humps
Nonstreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis
Inflammatory rupture of glomerular capillaries > bleeding into urinary space
Nephritic syndrome
