1
Q
Glomeruloneuropathies
A
- Decreased glomerular filtration
- Decreased urine output
- Increase plasma creatinine and urea
2
Q
Nephrosis
A
- Damage to glomerular membrane
- Enlargement of fenestrations
- Excretion of or more 3.5 g of protein in urine /day
3
Q

A
- Hypertension
- Dibetes mellitus, destruction of capillary beds in glomerulus
- Type 3 immune complex, immune disorders
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid arthritis
5
Q
3 types of nephrosis
A
- Minimal change diseases
- Fecal segmental
- Membranous
6
Q
Minimal change disease
A
- Most common form in children
- Loss of foot processes
- Good prognosis
7
Q
Fecal segmental glomerulosclerosis
A
- Scarring of glomerulus
- primary or secondary
- Poor prognosis
- 3 Hs
- HIV, heroin, hypertension
8
Q
Membranous Glomerulonephritis
A
- Autoimmune activation of immune complex
- Deposition of antibodies in basement mebrane
- Increased mebrane permeability and thickening
