Secondary Glomerulonephritis Flashcards
Renal involvement in sle
persistent proteinuria > 500 mg/dL/day, 3+ on dipstick, cellular urinary casts
Class of SLE:
Class I Minimal mesangial LN
Class II Mesangial proliferative LN
Focal LN Class 3 (A/C)
Diffuse LN Focal LN Class 3 (A/C)
Membranous LN Class V
Advanced sclerosing LN Class 6, > 90% globally sclerosed without residual activity
IF in lupus nephritis
full house - IgG, IgA, IgM, C1q and C3
features of activity index in sle
endocapillary hypercellularity
glomerular neutrophil infiltration
wire loop deposits
fibrinoid necrosis
cellular and or fibrocellular crescents
interstitial inflammation
most frequent vascular lesion in sle
vascular immune deposition - class 3/4
most commin in active class IV
noninflammatory necrotizing vasculopathy - fibrinoid necrotizing lesion without leukocyte infiltration that narrows or occludes the arteriolar lumen
neonatal lupus antibodies
maternal anti Ro
antihistone antibodies in the absence of antidna antibodies
drug induced lupus
most common cause of death in sle
cardiovascular
first line therapy for severe ln
Cyclophosphamide or mmf
maintenance therapy in sle
azathioprine or mmf
antibodies associated with increased risk of thrombotic events in APS
B2 glycoprotein
most common pattern of glomerular involvement in mctd
membranous nephropathy
sle + scleroderma + polymyositis
Mctd
small vessel vasculitis
pauci immune
Wegeners granulomatosis
Granulomatosis with polyangitis
Churg strauss syndrome
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
vasculitis with necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of upper or lower respiratory tracts + gn
GPA
earliest lesion in gpa=intracapillary thrombosis with deposition of eosinophilic fibrinoid material
sunburst appearance due to massive circumferential destruction of Bowman’s capsule
mpa
3 phases of egpa
Allergic - eosinophilic - vasculitic
most common associated illness found in patients with classic pan
Hbv infection, hairy cell leukemia
systemic necrotizing vasculitis affecting medium sized muscular arteries producing focal aneurysm
PAN
segmental transmural inflammation of medium sized and large elastic arteries mixed infiltrates
temporal arteritis
diagn=temporal artery biopsy
rare hiant cell arteritis inflammation and stenosis of medium sized and large arteries
predilecao pelo aortic arch
Takayasu arteritis
IgA vasculitis
hsp
tetrade =skin, gi, joint and gn
chronic inflammatory cell infiltration of the exocrine salivary and lacrimal gland associated with sicca complex of xerostomia and xerophthalmia
Sjogren syndome
extra cellular deposition of characteristic fibrils in various organs
amyloidosis
amyloidosis - overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains=AL amyloidosis
Amyloidosis- continuous overproduction of acute phase proteins in chronic inflammation=AA amyloidosis
most common pattern of monoclonal immunoglobulin disease
Light chain deposit disease
abnormal circulating monoclonal igm protein in association with b cell lymphoproliferative hematologic disorder
Waldenstorm macroglobulinemia
associated with hcv, collagen disease
Mixed cryoglobulinemia
benign familial hematuria and thin gbm nephropathy
Thin basement membrane
