Robbins, Chapter 20, Lecture II - tubulointerstitial diseases Flashcards
What am I?
Hearing loss, eye problems (corneal atrophy, lens dislocation), nephritis (micro or macro hematuria and frequently with red cell casts)
Type 4 collagen disorder.
EM=ALTERNATING thickening and thinning of BM, frayed/basket woven/moth eaten
Alport Syndrome
What hereditary nephritis is X-linked?
Alport Syndrome
80% of patinents with family history of hematuria or recurrent hematuria during childhood have one of __what__ disorders?
Defect in type 4 collegen synthesis
Hereditary Nephritis
What are the two types of Hereditary Nephritis?
Which has good prognosis?
Alport Syndrome
Thin Basement Membrane Disease - good prognosis
What am I?
Disease onset at birth, symptoms do not occur until later in life.
Earliest sign is microscopic hematuria detected between 5-20 years. Overt kidney failure between 20-50 years.
Alport Syndrome
Thinning of glom BM confirms dx of what? Asymptomatic hematuria. Type 4 collagen mutation. Most are heterozygous for defective gene >> carriers. Homozygotes resemble AR Alport
Thin Basement Membrane Disease
The following are secondary renal diseases.
Diabetic nephropathy
SLE
Hep C - cryobulinemia (MPGN I)
HIV Nephropathy: FSGN
Do they present with Nephrotic Syndrome or Acute Nephritic Syndrome?
Nephrotic Syndrome
The following are secondary renal diseases.
SLE
BActerial endocarditis - Acute PRoliferative GN
Goodpasture Syndrome: RPGN
HSP: IgA Neph
Do they present with Nephrotic Syndrome or Acute Nephritic Syndrome?
Acute Nephritic Syndrome
What are the consequences of the two major processes play key pathophysiologic roles as diabetic glomerular lesions develop?
Processes:
1. Metabolic defect linked to hyperglycemia
2. Hemodynamic effects associated with glomerular hypertrophy
Consequences: ?
- Advanced glycosylation end products
2. contribute to development of glomeruloSCLEROSIS
What am I? (Based on morphology)
- Capillary BM thickening
- Diffuse mesangial sclerosis - increased mesangial matrix (which then becomes nodular and acellular»_space;)
- NODULAR GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS
Diabetic Nephropathy/Glomerulosclerosis
Clinical course of what?
Systemic HTN»_space; microalbuminuria and elevated GFR»_space; overt PROTEINURIA»_space; ESRF
What can reverse this?
Diabetic Nephropathy/Glomerulosclerosis
Pancreatic transplant can reverse glomerulopathy associated with Type 1 DM
Is (End Stage Diabetic) NEPHROSCLEROSIS a large or small vessels disease?
small vessel
SLE has immune complex deposition of subendothelial or subepithelial dense deposits? (seen on IF)
What do you see on LM?
IF = desposits in SubENDOthelium (and mesangium) LM = "wire loops"
What am I?
Systemic, IgA DEPOSITION IN RENAL MESANGIUM.
Rash on extensor surfaces of arms and legs - lesions contain necrotizing vasculitis with microhemorrhage.
Onset CHILDREN, 3-8yo with excellent prognosis.
Onset often follow respiratory infection.
Henoch-Shonlein Purpura
What am I?
Associated with Multiple Myeloma that produces lytic bone lesions and patients often develop infections with encapsulated bacteria.
Congo Red Positive and Apple Green Polarized Light
Light chain ___ deposited in areas of areas of large bloodflow = INCREASED SERUM PROTEIN LEVELS.
Death due to uremia.
EM = massive BM without deposits
Urinalysis = heavy proteinuria
(amyloid light chain)
Amyloidosis
What am I?
No Congo Red Positive and Apple Green Polarized Light
IF = IgG and C3
Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis
What am I?
Associated with HepC
IgG-IgM compelxes induce vasculitis and membranous GN
Essential mixed cryoglobulinemia
What type of tubulointerstitial disease?
Dirty brown casts in urine, following ischemia
Pathogenesis - ischemia or toxins
Definition - damage to tubular epithelial cells and acutely diminished renal function
Acute Tubular Necrosis
What type of tubulointerstitial disease?
Eosinophilia, rash, fever
Pathogenesis - inflammation
Definition - eosinophilia
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis
What are the two ways that Acute Tubular Necrosis can occur? What part of the nephron does most necrosis occur in each type? Where do casts occur?
(1) Ischemic ATN - PCT, PST, Ascending LoH are all PATCHY
(2) Nephrotoxic ATN - PCT and PST are CONTINUOUS while AscLoH is Patchy
Casts along all patchy parts not necrosed - DCT, CD
Necrotic tubular epithelial cells detach and slough off into tubular lumen - what do these casts cause?
Obstruction of flow!
Clinical course of ATI (3 stages)? What is the largest clinical issue at each stage
(1) Initiation - 36 hours oliguria and rise in BUN
(2) Maintenance - severe oliguric crisis with evidence of uremia. HYPERKALEMIA is the major issue.
(3) Recovery - in a few weeks, initial POLYURIA as water balance is restored. HYPOKALEMIA is clinical problem.
What classifies an oliguric crisis?
40-400mL/day
