Q

explain the negative IF/pauci-immune form of rapidly progressive (crescentic glomerulonephritis)?

A

no ig/c3 depositino

17
Q

example of explain the negative IF/pauci-immune form of rapidly progressive (crescentic glomerulonephritis)?

A

granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener) and microscopic polyangiitis

18
Q

What are the granular types of rapidly progressive (crescentic glomerulonephritis)?

A

poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis

19
Q

What is diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis associated wtih?

A

SLE

20
Q

diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis findings in light light microscropy

A

‘wire looping’ of capillaries

21
Q

diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis findings on IF and EM

A

granular on If

EM - subendothelial and sometimes intramembranous igG-based ICs often with C3 deposition

22
Q

What is igA nephropathy?

A

episodic hematuria that occurs with respiratory or GI tract infections

23
Q

What will you seen on LM and IF of igA nephropathy?

A

LM - mesangial proliferation

IF-IgA based IC deposits in mesangium

24
Q

What is alport syndrome

A

a mutation in type IV collagen -> thinning and splitting of glomerular BM

25
Q

how is alport syndrome inherited?

A

X linked

26
Q

presentation of alport

A

eye problems, glomerulonephritis and sensorineural deafness

27
Q

what will be seen on the EM of someone with alport syndrome?

A

basket weave

28
Q

what is membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis?

A

a nephritic syndrome that co-presents with nephrope. Includes Type 1 and type 2

29
Q

what is type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis? ?

A

occurs sendarily to hep B or C or is ideopathic ->subednothelial immune complex deposits with granula IF

30
Q

what is type II membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis?

A

associated with C3 nephritic factor (igG autoantibody that stabilizes C3 convertase) ->intramembranous dense deposits

31
Q

what is the characeristic appearance of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis?

A

tram track appearnce due to GBM splitting
