Path HY Flashcards
1
Q
nephrOtic syndromes
A
- podocyte effacment
- hyperlipidemia
- frothy urine
- proteinuria > 3.5 g/day
- edema
2
Q
name the nephrotic syndromes
A
- minimal change disease
- FSGS
- amyloidosis
- diabetic nephropathy
- MPGN
- membranous nephropathy
3
Q
minimal change disease
A
- flat podocytes (cytokines)
- Hodgkin Lymphoma
- SELECTIVE proteinuria (albumin only)
- Tx: steroids
4
Q
FSGS
A
- unknown cause of flat podocytes
- severe version of minimal change disease
- HIV, sickle cell
- no response to steroids
5
Q
membranous nephropathy
A
- immune complexes deposit in BM (PLA2R on podocytes)
- subEPIthelial
- tumor, hepatitis, RA
- spike + dome appearance
- IF: IgG, C3 (granular)
6
Q
diabetic nephropathy
A
- glycosylation of BM
- proteinuria
- sclerosis of EA leads to sclerosis of glomeruli
- Kimmelstiel Wilson bodies
- nodular mesangial sclerosis
- Tx: ARB, ACEi
7
Q
amyloidosis
A
- extracellular buildup of amyloid paraproteins
- apple green biorefringence
- mesangial sclerosis
8
Q
membranoproliferative (MPGN)
A
- thick BM
- hypercellularity of mesangial cells
- TRAM TRACK
Type 1- subendothelial IgG, C3 (hepatitis, lupus)
Type 2- BM C3, hypocomplementemia
9
Q
type 1 MPGN
A
- subendothelial deposits
- IgG, C3
- hep b/c, SLE
- tram track
10
Q
type 2 MPGN
A
- deposits in BM
- C3 only
- hypocomplementemia
- C3 nephritic factor
11
Q
nephrItic syndromes
A
- hematuria
- proteinuria <3.5 g/day
- RBC casts
- oliguria
- decr GFR
- hypertension
12
Q
name the nephritic syn
A
- post infectious GN
- IgA nephropathy (Henoch, Berger)
- Lupus Nephritis (4 - DPGN)
- cresentic/RPGN
- MPGN
- Alport
13
Q
post-infectious GN
A
- 2/3 weeks after infection
- subENDOthelial deposition (but see subEPIthelial humps)
- HYPOCOMPLEMENTEMIA
- hypercellular glomeruli (neutrophils)
- IF: IgG, C3
- Tx: supportive only
14
Q
IgA nephropathy
A
- 2/3 DAYS after infection
- IgA response to trigger (URI)
- mesangioproliferative bc IgA deposits in mesangium
- activates complement, but only weakly, so no hypocomplementemia
- IF: IgA granular
Henoch Schonlein has extra renal involvement (skin, GI, joints)
Berger is renal only
15
Q
Lupus Nephritis 4/ DPGN
A
- subENDOthelial deposits
- hypercellular
- thickened capillary loops
- IF: “full house” IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C1q
- fever, rash, arthritis
