25
What may trigger Mcns
- infections (minor) - reaction to insect bites\bee stings - poison ivy
26
what is the recommended diet for child w\nephrotic syndrome
Low fat and salt - high protein
27
What should be ruled out before starting steroid therapy?
Tb infection
28
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome:
- diuretic “mod-severe edema” - salt restricted albumin “severe edema” - steroid (definitive)
29
What are the presentations of severe edema?
Anasarca - genital - pulmonary edema
30
What is the definition of remission after steroid therapy in Ns
Negative urine protein for 3 consecutive days
31
What is the definition of relapse after steroid therapy in Ns
- 2+ or more protein in Ua >3d - hypoalbuminemia - edema
32
When to consider patient steroid resistant?
Fail to have remission after 6-8w of steroid therapy
33
tx of Steroid resistant:
- renal biopsy | - 2nd line tx (cyclosporine + tacrolimus)
34
What to suspect in case of steroid resistance in Ns?
Other cause (not mcns)
35
What are the mimickers of hematuria?
Dyes - hemoglbinurea - myoglobinurea - mensturation - factious
36
What medication can mimic hematuria
Rifampicin
37
How to confirm hematuria?
urine Dipstick + microscopy
38
Define hematuria in urine microscopy
>5 RBC\HPF (centerfuged) | Or >6 (>10) RBC\0.9mm (uncenterfuged)
39
How much blood is enough to make urine look bloody?
1ml of blood in 1L of urine
40
Does color of blood in urine indicate severity?
No
41
What causes transient hematuria
Fever or sternous exercise
42
What to do if you diagnose patient with transient hematuria?
Repeat UA after 1 week
43
Define persistent hematuria:
3 of 3 consequetive urine specimen obtained 1 week apart
44
What is the most common etiology of hematuria?
Glomerular es
45
What is the next step when you find child with hematuria?
Check family members + check BP

What is the organism to commonly cause PIGN?
Group A beta-hemolytic strep
55
What is the typical presentation for post infectious gn
After skin or throat infection

1-3 weeks (pharyngitis) | 3-6 weeks (skin infection)
58
What is the picture of PIGN?
Nephritic mostly but can be nephrotic
59
What is the treatment of choice for PIGN
- lasix for HTN - medical treatment of acute kidney injury - penicillin - follow up
60
Why use penicillin in PIGN?
To avoid spread of infection
61
What is the prognosis of PIGN?
90% will have complete resolution | But small subset will have late renal complication (HTN - proteinurea - renal insufficency)
62
How long does complement, proteinurea, and hematuria take to resolve after treatment of PIGN?
- complement (1\2m) - proteinurea (6m) - hematuria (1\2y)
63
What is the most common cause of recurrent gross hematuria?
IgA nephropathy
64
Differentiate between IgA and post-streptococcal infection?
Both are amongst the most common causes of hematuria - PIGN: acute, acquired, skin and pharyngitis - IgA:, primary, recurrent gross or presistant microhematuria, URTI and vaccination
65
What type of microscopy used to detect IgA nephropath
Immunoflurescene (IgA deposits)
66
What is the prognosis of IgAN
- most live normal | - 50% develop ESRD - renal failure
67
What indicates bad prognosis of IgAN
Proteinurea, HTN, BUN\Creat
68
What is the prognosis of alport syndrome?
Poor | All will progress to worsen status
69

72
What is considered always pathological | (Proteinurea or hematuria)?
Proteinurea
