RENAL PATHOLOGY Flashcards
3 layers of glomerulus
EC
GBM
Podocytes
how many pyramids
12
renal lobe
medullary pyramid and overlying cortex
major compartments of glomerulus
Glomerular tuft
extraglomerular tuft
what are the four resident cell types in glomerulus
mesangial cells
endothelial cells
visceral epithelial cells/ podocytes - gt
parietal epithelial cells/ egt
Biochemical components of GBM
Collagen Type 4 Laminin Polyanionic proteoglycans Fibronectin Entactin Collagen 5 7 Amyloid P
Function of mesangium
Surface receptors for angiotensin 2,vasopressin, TXA2, PGE2
Alter glomerular capillary diameter and helps in regulating plasma blood flow
Participate in the Sequestration and clearing of immune complexes since they’ve abundant lysosomes
Components of JGA
Macula densa
Afferent arterioles terminal
Efferent arteeioles proximal
Macula densa
Types of renal hypoplasia
Oligomeganeohronic
Simple
Types of cystic renal dysplasia
Multicystic dysplasia
Localized dysplasia
Dysplasia associated with lower urinary tract obstruction
Complications of multicystic dysplasia
Nephroblastoma
RCC
Congenital nephronomegaly is associated with which syndrome
Beckwith-Wideman syndrome
Types of ectopic kidney
Simple or crossed
Horseshoe kidney associated with which syndrome
Turner syndrome
3 categories of RPGN
- Post infectious RPGN secondary to acute poly step GN
Systemic diseases like Goodpasture syndrome, SLE, PAN, Wegener granulomatosis, Henoch-Schonlein purpura - Idiopathic RPGN
