Schoenwald Renal Part Two Flashcards
Painless hematuria in a smoker is __________ until proven otherwise
bladder cancer
Most forms of asymptomatic hematuria caused by glomerular disease are due to __________ ___________ abnormalities
basement membrane abonrmalities
The most common cause of asymptomatic hematuria is ______ nephropathy caused by immune complex formation
IgA
What are the four most common causes of asymptomatic hematuria?
- IgA nephropathy
- Henoch-Schoenlein purpura
- Alport syndrome
- Thin basement membrane disease
This is the mc primary cause of glomerulonephritis and a defect in the production and clearance of IgA
IgA nephropathy
IgA nephropathy is associated with ________ disease and _________
Celiac and henoch-schonlein purpura
Light microscopy of this disease shows focal segmental glomerulosclerosis of crescent cells
IgA nephropathy
IgA mediated vasculitis mc in children 3-8 years old, and often following a strep or viral infection
Henoch Schonlein Purpura
Symptoms of this disease include GI bleeding, abd pain and arthralgias
Henoch Schonlein Purpura
Classic palpable purpura on legs and buttocks
Henoch Schonlein Purpura
What are the characteristics of palpable purpura? Does it blanch?
It does not blanch and it is a rash that is bigger than petichae and feels nodular
What are four types of tubulointerstitial diseases (involving the renal tubules and interstitum)?
- Acute tubulointerstitial disease
- Acute interstitial nephritis
- Chronic tubulointerstitial disease
- Chronic interstitial nephritis
This is a type of acute renal failure over a period of days to weeks causing hematuria and is most commonly caused by an infection from a drug reaction
Acute tubulointerstitial disease
Drug reaction, fever, eosinophilia and elevated IgE
Acute tubulointerstitial disease
Microscopic findings of this disease include edema of cells, neutrophils, and focal necrotizing infiltrates
Acute tubulointerstitial disease
What are some medications that can cause Acute tubulointerstitial disease?
PRSC
PCNs, Rifampin, Sulfonamides, cipro
This disease refers to noninfectious cause of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and usually caused by penicillins and sulfonamides
AIN
Microscopic findings of this disease include interstitial lymphocytes, macrophages, eosinophils and sometimes giant cells and granulomas
AIN
This disease is characterized by renal insufficiency, hypertension, anemia and non-nephritic proteinuria occurring over years and often due to analgesic nephropathy over years (long-term NSAID use)
Chronic tubulointerstitial disease
Microscopy of this disease shows cellular infiltrate composed of lymphocytes and macrophages with interstitial fibrosis present
Chronic tubulointerstitial disease
*scarring/fibrosis indicates chronic
This is the most common cause of AKI
ATN
