Renal 4 Flashcards
characterizes diabetes kidney problems (early on)
glomerulosclerosis (hyaline deposits)
3 syndromes associated with glomerulosclerosis in diabetes
non-nephrotic proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome, CRF
changes other than glomerulosclerosis that is associated with diabetes
afferent/efferent arteriolar sclerosis, papillary necrosis (increased infection), tubular lesions
responsible for thickening of BM in diabetes
increased collagen IV and fibronectin
hallmark of diabetic nephropathy; what is stain for matrix deposits?
nodular glomerulosclerosis (Kimmelstiel-Wilson disease); PAS
clinical features of diabetic nephropathy
microalbuminemia, overt proteinuria, progressive loss GFR
most common type of GN worldwide
IgA nephropathy (Berger’s disease)
vasculitis from IgA deposition -> purpuric skin lesions, renal disease also
Henoch-Schnolein purpura
renal manifestations of HSP
hematuria, proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome
what is defective in Alport syndrome?
type IV collagen synthesis -> defective BM
this causes hyalinosis and sclerosis in FSGN
entrapment plasma proteins with increased ECM deposition
hyaline thickening of what in FSGS?
afferent arterioles
glomerular disease characterized by nonselctive proteinuria, hematuria, reduced GFR, HTN -> no response to corticosteroids, no immune complexes
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
condition in which you see sub-epithelial spikes
membranous GN
irregular dense deposits that occur in membranous GN with loss of foot processes
sub-epithelial spikes
seen on immunofluorescence of membranous GN
granular deposits containing Ig
these are present in granular deposits of membranous GN
Ig
where are granular deposits located in membranous GN
between BM and epithelium (sub-epithelial spikes)
Ab to these structures is responsible for idiopathic membranous GN
podocyte membrane antigens
causes of membranous GN
Ab podocyte membrane antigens, SLE, hep B, drugs, malignant tumors, diabetes/thyroiditis
this occurs in mixed nephrotic and nephritic disease (membranoproliferative GN)
thickened BM, increased mesangial cells and matrix
varying degrees of membranoproliferative GN
asymptomatic hematuria, nephrotic syndrome w/ hematuria, decreased GFR/azotemia and HTN
morphology of major changes seen in membranoproliferative GN
BM alterations, proliferation glomerular cells, leukocyte infiltration, proliferating mesangial cells and increased matrix
what is present in granular deposits in Type I of membranoproliferative GN
complement w/ or w/o Ig
where are granular deposits seen in type 1 membranoproliferative GN
subendothelial
this renal disease causes “tram tracking” and sub endothelial deposits
type I MPGN
mesangial cells interspersed between old and new BM (as result of reduplication of membranes)
tram-tracking
morphology of type II MPGN
dense deposition w/in BM proper, complement (NOT in deposits), no IgG
this glomerular disease causes profound hypocomplementemia (activation of classic and alternative pathway)
MPGN
major cause of MPGN
SLE
causes of MPGN
idiopathic, chronic immune complex disorder, SLE, hepatitis, HIV, malignant disease, hereditary complement deficiency
glomerular diseases that are primarily nephritic
acute proliferative GN, focal proliferative and necrotizing GN, RPGN
nephritic disease characterized by mesangial infiltration of cells and deposition of protein
acute proliferative GN
morphology of acute proliferative GN
immune complex deposition, proliferation glomerular cells, influx leukocytes, granular deposits Ig/complement
this causes hypercellularity of acute proliferative GN
leukocyte infiltration, proliferation endothelial and mesangial cells
