3 techniques to evaluate glomeruli
light microscopy
immunofluorescence (IgG, IgM, IgA)
electron microscopy
types of light microscopy technique
periodic acid schiff (PAS)
trichrome
silver
type of light microscopy that highlights the basement membrane and mesangium
periodic acid schiff (PAS)
type of light microscopy that highlights fibrosis
trichrome
type of electron microscopy that highlights the basement membrane
silver
types of immunofluorescence (2)
linear pattern
granular pattern
type of immunofluorescence rxn directed against antigen in glomerular basement membrane
linear pattern
what do you think when you see goodpasture syndrome
linear pattern immunofluorescence
type of immunofluorescence rxn that is against Ag/Abs immune complexes in glomerular basement membrane
granular pattern
what condition do you think of when you see linear pattern immunofluorescence
SLE
electron microscopy shows (2)
structure
immune complex deposition
linear pattern → Good Pasture
granular pattern
SLE
clinical manifestations of glomerular dz (5)
nephrotic syndrome
nephritic syndrome
rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
CKD/CRF
asymptomatic hematuria
most glomerular dz’s are __ in nature
and are the result of either __
or __
immunologic
immune complex deposition
Abs-Ag binding
what do immune complexes activate
complement
short lived immune complexes cause __
long lived immune complexes cause __
infxn
CKD/chronic failure
damage of glomeruli results in leakage of protein (mainly albumin) → hypoalbuminemia
nephrotic syndrome
how does nephrotic syndrome cause edema
hypoalbuminuria → decreased osmotic pressure → edema
