pathology Flashcards
what is infective nephritis called
pyelonephritis
what are the two groups of glomerulonephritis
- immune mediated
- related to vasculitis
what is pathophysiology of goodpastures
IgG antibodies against alpha 3 subunit of collagen 4
what immune mediated glomerulonephritis is there
- infection
- drugs (gold, penicillamine)
- cancer
- goodpastures
nephritic syndrome characteristicws
haematuria and hypertension
nephrotic syndrome characteristics
- heavy proteinuria
- non-dependent oedema
- hyperlipidaemia
what three things are looked at in a kidney biopsy
- light microscopy
- electron microscopy
- immunoflouresence
are crescents bad or good
bad
-indicates rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
if you see granulomas in a renal biopsy what does this indicate
- GPA
- sarcoid
what can electron microscopy show
you can see if there are deposits and where they are
what does linear IgG on an immunofluorescence mean
good pastures
who gets minimal change
kids
is minimal change nephrotic or nephritic
nephrotic
what does minimal change usually resolve with
steroids
causes of FSGS
- obesity
- HIV
- sickle cell
- IV drug users
is FSGS nephritic or nephrotic
nephritic
cause of membranous glomerulus nephritis
INFECTION -hepatitis -malaria -syphilis DRUGS (nsaids, gold etc) MALIGNANCY LUPUS AUTOIMMUNE - thyroiditis
is membranous nephritic or nephrotic
nephrotic
appearance of membranous
- thick membranes
- sub-epithelial immune deposits
cause of IgA one
genetic
coeliac
who gets IgA one
post infection
is IgA one nephritic or nephrotic
nephritic
cause of membranoproliferative
idiopathic
is membranoproliferative nephritic or nephrotic
either
appearnce of membranoproliferative
big lobulated hypercellular glomeruli with thick membranes - tram tracks
presentation of diabetes in the kidneys
diffuse and nodular glomerulosclerosis
nodules - kimmel stiel wilson lesion
microvascular disease
infection
