Q

Membranous nephropathy (glomerulonephritis)- nephrotic

A

a) most common in ADULTS age 30-50
b) may be primary (disease limited to the kidney) or secondary to infection, malignancy, SLE, or drugs.
c) pathology - IMMUNE COMPLEXES in the epithelial side (subepithelial) of the GBM demonstrable by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy
d) poor response to corticosteroid treatment, with 40% developing
renal failure in 2-20 years

28
Q

Glomerular disease in diabetes mellitus - nephrotic

A

a) minimal proteinuria progresses, over 10-15 years, to severe proteinuria.
b) thick glomerular basement membranes, diffuse increase in mesangial matrix and formation of mesangial nodules (the latter is nodular glomerulosclerosis or Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesion)

29
Q

nephrotic typically more chronic or acute?

A

chronic

30
Q

nephritic typically more chronic or acute?

A

acute

31
Q

basics of nephritic

A

acute
blood in urine
failure to produce urine

32
Q

two main causes of nephritic syndrome

A
  1. Acute postinfectious (poststreptococcal) glomerulonephritis
  2. IgA nephropathy
33
Q

Acute postinfectious (poststreptococcal) glomerulonephritis

A

a) CHILDREN mostly after strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis)
b) pathology - proliferation of endothelial and mesangial cells; infiltration of neutrophils and monocytes; immune complexes in GBM and sometimes in the mesangium. basically a immune reaction and INFLMMATORY cells
c) progression to chronic renal disease is more likely in adults.

34
Q

IgA nephropathy

A

a) usually occurs in CHILDREN and young adults
b) hematuria is noted 1-2 days after non-specific upper respiratory tract viral infection.
c) pathogenesis may involve increased IgA IMMUNE COMPLEXES production
d) when the glomerular disease is associated with systemic manifestations (purpuric skin rash and arthritis), this is called Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
e) pathology - mesangial deposition of immune complexes containing IgA and variable proliferation of mesangial and endothelial cells. Occasionally there is epithelial cell proliferation with crescents.
affects mainly central core of glomerulus

35
Q

Crescentic or Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

A

antibodies directed against a glomerular basement antigen, deposition of immune complexes, or lack of immune complex deposition (called pauci-immune glomerulonephritis).
characteristic finding is crescentic glomerulonephritis due to proliferation of endothelial cells and histocytes around the edge.

36
Q

CHRONIC (END-STAGE) RENAL DISEASE

A

SCAR TISSUE, BECOMES NON FUNCTIONAL. Loss of glomeruli and tubules leads to fibrosis. Damaged glomeruli become completely sclerotic (global sclerosis). With advanced loss of tubules and glomeruli, the remaining glomeruli develop adaptive changes. These changes eventually lead to further injury and progressive renal failure.

37
Q

IgA nephropathy main points

A
  1. children/ young adults
  2. hematuria after non specific upper resp. viral infection
  3. IgA immune complexes
38
Q 
Acute postinfectious (poststreptococcal) glomerulonephritis
main points
A
  1. children after strep
  2. proliferation of inflammatory cells and immune complexes
  3. can progress to chronic renal diease in adults
39
Q

what is ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS

A

renal disease affecting tubules, interstitium, and pelvis and is most often secondary to bacterial infection

40
Q

where does this secondary infection come from?

A 
The infection may spread from the urinary bladder, up the ureters and into the renal pelvis and kidney (ascending)
or hematogenous (blood) spread of bacteria..
41
Q

ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS clinical presentation

A

Sudden onset with pain at the costovertebral angle and
systemic evidence of infection. Often there is accompanying dysuria,
frequency and urgency.

42
Q

ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS pathology

A

Patchy interstitial and tubular neutrophilic inflammation.

43
Q

ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS etiology

A

Predisposing conditions, include urinary tract obstruction, instrumentation, vesicoureteral reflux, pregnancy, gender and age, diabetes mellitus and immunosuppression.

44
Q

Drug-Induced Interstitial Nephritis etiology

A

some antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and others.

45
Q

Drug-Induced Interstitial Nephritis pathology

A
  • hypersensitivity reaction to the drugs.
  • consists of interstitial infiltration of mononuclear inflammatory cells, often with neutrophils and many eosinophils.
  • The glomeruli are not involved in the inflammation
46
Q

are the glomeruli inovled in drug induced interstitial nephritis

A

no

47
Q

rapid onset of renal failure, reduced urine output, electrolyte imbalances. The clinical manifestations are reversible over a period of weeks as the damaged tubular epithelium regenerates.

A

Acute Tubular Necrosis clinical

48
Q

injury to tubular epithelial cells from ischemia (ie. shock) or a toxin

A

Acute Tubular Necrosis

49
Q

dilation of tubules, interstitial edema, necrosis of epithelium (often very focal and subtle with ischemic injury, more diffuse with injury from a toxin)

A

Acute Tubular Necrosis

50
Q

Gross – kidneys are symmetrically atrophic, with
moderate reduction in size. The kidney surface has an even fine
granularity and the cortex is thin.

A

Arterionephrosclerosis- pathology

51
Q

Narrowing of the lumens of arterioles and arteries
caused by hyaline type of arteriolosclerosis and fibroelastic hyperplasia of muscular arteries. In addition, there is (1) tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis and (2) global sclerosis of glomeruli.

A

Arterionephrosclerosis- histopathology

52
Q

Relatively rapid onset of renal failure with increased intracranial pressure leading to headache, nausea, vomiting, and visual impairment.

A

Arterionephrosclerosis associated with malignant hypertension clinical presentation

53
Q

Arterioles show hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis, reducing

blood flow and causing necrosis of glomeruli.

A

Arterionephrosclerosis associated with malignant hypertension pathology

54
Q

acquired defect in ADAMTS 13, a plasma protease that degrades vWF multimers. The large von Willebrand factor components activate platelets under certain conditions.

A

Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP)

55
Q

endothelial cell injury which, in most cases, is due to a Shiga-toxin from E. coli (reason for ground beef recalls in the news) or Shigella. The injury leads to platelet activation.

57
Q

which disease has more renal involvement predominates and the disorder most often occurs in children.

A

Hemolytic-uremic syndrome

58
Q

which disease is there more widespread involvement of other organs

A

Thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura

59
Q

Stones result in urinary tract obstruction, ulceration of the urothelial lining and bleeding. Small stones may migrate into the ureters and produce intense flank pain. Large stones remain in the pelvis and may be manifested by hematuria and superimposed infection.

A

Urolithiasis (Renal Stones) clinical

60
Q

Stones are unilateral in 80% of patients and most
frequent site for their formation is within the calyces and pelvis. Stones
may also develop in the bladder. Large stones are referred to as “staghorn calculi”. These large stones form a cast of the pelvis and calyceal system.

A

Urolithiasis (Renal Stones) pathology

61
Q

Types of stones in urolithiasis

A
  1. calcium - patients have increased concentration of calcium in the urine
  2. magnesium ammonium phosphate - patients have persistently alkaline
    urine. Infection with Proteus predisposes to these stones.
  3. Uric acid - occur in patients with gout, leukemia (high cell turnover) or
    persistently acid urine.
