renal pathology 2 Flashcards
what are the 4 major changes observed in glomerular dz
hypercellularity
basement membrane thickening
hyalinization
sclerosis
nephrotic syndrome defined
loss of >3.5g protein in urine
define nephritic cyndrome
blood in urine and hypertension
list the disorders presenting as nephrotic syndrome
minimal change dz focal segmental glomerulosclerosis membranous glomerulopathy diabetic nephropathy lupus nephropathy
disorders presenting as nephritic syndrome
post streptococcal glomerulonephritis
cresentic glomerulonephritis
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
intracytoplasmic lipid inclusions in tubular cells
glomeruli appear normal
loss of foot processes( electric microscope)
minimal change dz
(nephrotic syndrome) associated with atopic dz and hodgkins lymphoma
minimal change dz
why does loss of foot processes result in presentation as a nephrotic syndrome
foot processes carry negative charge which typically repels protein from diffusing through glomeruli. without the foot processes we let that protein go where it wants
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is clinically similar to minimal change dz, what is a factor that differentiates
age- focal seg. is seen in older people
break down the meaning of focal. segmental. glomerulosclerosis
focal= not all glomeruli damaged segmental= of the affected glomeruli, not all areas are damaged
does minimal change or focal segmental cause more permanent damge
focal segmental
loss of foot processes that often occurs as the result of scarring of some other nephropathy or HIV drugs
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
the primary major cause of nephrotic syndrome
membranous glomerulopathy
10% of ______ cases are malignant tumor associated
which types of tumors?
membranous glomerulopathy
colon, lung, melanoma
nephrotic syndrome + azotemia– i suspectttt
membranous glomerulopathy
-nephrotic
diffuse thickening of capillary wall without increased number of cells
basement membrane up to 10x thicker
membranous glomerulopathy
-nephrotic
buzz word for membranous glomerulopathy
-nephrotic
spike and dome
spike is basement membrane
dome is immune deposit
great increase in basement membrane and kimmelstiel wilson nodules
diabetic nephropathy
kimmerlsteils are a nodular accumulation of mesangial matrix
