Renal Diseases Flashcards
Deposition of immune complexes, formed in conjunction with group a streptococcus infection, on the glomerular membranes
Acute Glomerulonephritis
Deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders on the glomerular membrane
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Attchment of a cytotoxic antibody formed during viral respiratory infections to glomerular and alveolar basement membranes
Goodpasture syndrome
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody binds to neutrophils in vascular walls producing damage to small vessels in the lungs and glomerulus
Wegener granulomatosis
Occurs primarily in children following viral respiratory infections; a decrease in platelets disrupts vascular integrity
Henoch-schonlein purpura
Thickening of the glomerular membrane following igG immune complex deposition associated with systemic disorders
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Cellular proliferation affecting the capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane, possibly immune-mediated
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Marked decrease in renal function resulting from glomerular damage precipitated by other renal disease
Chronic glomerulonephritis
Deposition of IgA on the glomerular membrane resulting from increased levels of serum igA
IgA nephropathy
Disruption of the shield of negativity and damage to the tightly fitting podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of protein and lipids
Nephrotic syndrome
Disruption of the podocytes occuring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunization
Minimal change disease
Disruption of podocytes in certain areas of glomeruli associated with heroin and analgesic abuse and AIDS
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Genetic disorder showing lamellated and thinning glomerular basement membrane
Alport syndrome
