Renal Diseases Flashcards
Examples of Glomerular Diseases
Acute Post- Streptococcal glomerulonephritis, Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, Goodpasture Syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Membranous Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, Chronic Glomerulonephritis, Ig A nephropathy (Berger’s Disease), Minimal Change disease, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Diabetic Nephropathy (Kimmelstiel-Wilson Disease), Alport Syndrome
Etiology: Formed in conjunction w/ Grp A Streptococcus infection in the glomerular membranes
Acute Post- Streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Etiology: Immune complex decomposition from systemic immune disorders
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Attachments of a cytotoxic antibody formed during viral respiratory infections to glomerular & alveolar basement membranes
Goodpasture Syndrome
Etiology: Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) binds to neutrophils in vascular walls producing damage to small vessels in the lungs and glomerulus
Wegener granulomatosis
Etiology: Occurs primarily in children following viral respiratory infections
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Etiology: Thickening of glomerular membrane
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Etiology: Cellular proliferation
affecting the capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane, possibly immune- mediated
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Etiology: Marked decrease in renal function resulting from glomerular damage precipitated by other renal disorders
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Etiology: Deposition of IgA on the glomerular membrane resulting from increased levels of serum IgA
Ig A nephropathy (Berger’s Disease)
Etiology: Disruption of the shield of negativity and damage to the right podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of protein and lipids
NephroticSyndrome
Etiology: Disruption of the podocytes occurring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunizations
Minimal change disease
Etiology: Disruption of podocytes in certain areas of glomeruli associated with heroin and analgesic abuse and AIDS
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Etiology: Deposition of glycosylated
proteins on the glomerular basement membranes caused by poorly controlled glucose levels
Diabetic Nephropathy (Kimmelstiel-Wilson Disease)
Etiology: Genetic disorder showing lamelled of thinning glomerular basement membrane (Prob: Collagen Type IV)
Alport Syndrome
UA TEST/FINDINGS: Mousy odor/ Ferricchloride
Tube test- used to detect presence of urine phenyl pyruvic acid (+) permanent (Blue green color)
PHENYLKETONURIA
Most well-known of the aminoaciduria
PHENYLKETONURIA
ENZYME DEF: Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (TYPE 1) / Tyrosine Aminotransferase (TYPE 2) / p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase (type 3)
TYROSYLURIA
UA TEST/FINDINGS: Rancidodor / Nitroso-Naphthol test- orange-red color (tyrosine metabolites)
TYROSYLURIA
accumulation of excess tyrosine in the plasma (tyrosinemia) producing urinary overflow
TYROSYLURIA
UA TEST/FINDINGS: Dark urine
MELANURIA
