Renal Disease Flashcards
Glomerular disease involves immune complex formation and
deposition
Immunologic
Glomerular disease involves exposure to chemicals, toxins and amyloid materials
Non-immunologic
Deposition of immune complexes formed in response to Group A
Streptococcal infection
Acute Post-Streptococcal
Glomerulonephritis
Acute Post-Streptococcal
Glomerulonephritis
Signs and symptoms:
Urinalysis:
Signs and symptoms: edema, fever, fatigue, hypertension
Urinalysis: gross hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts, dysmorphic
RBCs, hyaline and granular casts, WBC
Acute Post-Streptococcal
Glomerulonephritis lab findings
increase BUN and ASO titer
More serious form of acute glomerular disease that involves
deposition of immune complexes
from systemic immune disorders
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Damaged glomeruli allow release of cells and ______ into the Bowman’s capsule leading to crescentic
formation and pressure changes
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
fibrin
Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis:
Urinalysis: gross hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts, dysmorphic RBCs, hyaline and granular casts, WBC
Example of systemic disorder of Rapidly Progressive/Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
SLE
(+) __________________________________ which is cytotoxic to collagen leading to complement activation and capillary destruction
Goodpasteur Syndrome
Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Ab
Goodpasteur Syndrome
May lead to ________________________
and ____________________________
May follow ____________________
May lead to chronic glomerulonephritis
and end-stage renal disease
May follow viral respiratory infection
Goodpasteur Syndrome
Signs and symptoms:
Urinalysis:
Signs and symptoms: hemoptysis and dyspnea
Urinalysis: hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts
(+) __________________________________ that targets neutrophils in the vascular walls initiating immune response and granuloma formation in the lungs and kidneys
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Urinalysis:
Urinalysis: hematuria, proteinuria, RBC cast
Wegener’s Granulomatosis lab findings:
increase serum BUN and creatinine; Ab testing
Allergic _______ that causes decrease in the number of platelets
and affects vascular integrity
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Signs and symptoms:
Urinalysis:
Signs and symptoms: red skin patches, blood in sputum and stool
Urinalysis: proteinuria, hematuria, RBC casts
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Test:
Test for occult blood
Involves IgG deposition on the glomerular membrane leading to
pronounced thickening
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Membranous Glomerulonephritis can be seen in:
Seen in SLE, Sjogren’s syndrome, secondary syphilis and hepatitis
B infection
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis:
Urinalysis: hematuria and proteinuria
Membranous Glomerulonephritis Test:
ANA, HBsAg, FTA-ABS
Membranous Glomerulonephritis Treatments:
Gold and Mercury Treatments
Cellular proliferation affecting capillary walls or the glomerular
basement membrane
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Urinalysis:
Urinalysis: hematuria, proteinuria
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis lab findings:
decreased serum complement
