corticomedullary
treatment of APG/post-strep GNP
fluid/electrolyte therapy
IF findings of APG/post-strep GNP
granular IgM, IgG, and C3 deposits
type I RPGN
anti-GMB antibodies (Goodpastures)

immune complex mediated (post inf, SLE)
type III RPGN
pauci immune, ANCA p and c + (wegners)
location of crescents in RPGN
bowman’s space
clinical course of RPGN
hematuria, RBC casts, proteinuria approaching nephrotic ranges
tx of RPGN type II
plasmaphoresis
location of IgA depostis in IgA nephropathy
mesangium
IgA nephropathy can occur after what?
URI
site of deposits in membranoproliferative GNP
subendothelial
composition of deposits in membranoproliferative GNP
IgG, IgM, and C3
common finding on LM in membranoproliferative GNP
“tram-track” splitting of GBM - Ag stain is good for visualization
MCC of nephrotic syndrome in adults
membranous golmerulopathy
location of deposits is membranous glomerulopathy
subepithelial
common appearance of BM in membranous gomlerulopathy
“spike & dome”
membranous glomerulopathy response to corticosteriods
none
MCC of nephrotic syndrome in children
MCD
MCD response to cortiosteroids
very responsive
EM findings in MCD
effaced foot processes, vacuoles, and “fused” podocytes
collapsing glomerulosclerosis
FSGS resulting in complete golmerular collapse found in HIV pts
IF findings in FSGS
IgM and C3 in sclerotic areas
EM findings in FSGS
podocyte effacement
LM findings in FSGS
partial eosinophilia and sclerosis
Alport’s inheritance pattern
x-linked
EM finding of Alport’s
alternating thickening and thinning of GBM, lamination of lamina densa
ALPORT mnemonic
A - alports L P - record, listening = deafness O - occular involvement R - renal failure T - thickening of BM and Type IV collagen
other name for thin basement membrane disease
benign familial hematuria
characteristic of chronic GNP
extensive hyalinization & fibrosis of gloms
endpoint of all nephrotic and nephritic syndromes
chronic GNP
common concomitant finding with chronic GNP
HTN - can find arterial sclerosis
