Systemic disease with renal involvement Flashcards
Mechanism of tissue injury in SLE
Type II hypersensitivity –> auto-antibodies
Type III hypersensitivity –> immune complex deposition
Antiphospholipid antibodies
Hematologic manifestations of SLE
Hemolytic anemia
Lymphopenia
Thrombocytopenia
Reason for hematologic manifestations of SLE
Auto-antibodies specific for RBCs, WBCs, and platelets –> opsonize cells and promote phagocytosis and lysis
Deposit description in class I lupus nephritis
Mesangial
Deposit description in class II lupus nephritis
Mesangial proliferative
Deposit description in class III lupus nephritis
Focal proliferative
Deposit description in class IV lupus nephritis
Diffuse proliferative
Deposit description in class V lupus nephritis
Membranous
Deposit description in class VI lupus nephritis
Advance sclerosing nephritis
Renal disease indicated by wire loop lesions on microscopy
Lupus nephritis, class II-VI
Immunofluorescence findings in lupus nephritis
IgG deposits in mesangium and capillary wall
Most important glomerular lesions in diabetic nephropathy
Capillary basement membrane thickening
Diffuse mesangial sclerosis
Nodular glomerulosclerosis
Nodules of PAS positive matrix in the periphery of the glomerulus
Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules
Pathogenesis involves progressive glomerular hyperfiltration due to nonenzymatic glycosylation of proteins deposited on the glomerular basement membranes. Leads to thickening and deranged cytokines
Diabetic nephropathy
Severe renal hyaline arteriolosclerosis affecting both afferent and efferent arterioles, and tubular BM thickening on PAS stain.
Diabetic nephropathy
Type of amyloid fibril protein derived from a unique non-Ig protein made by the liver
Amyloid associated (AA)
Type of amyloid protein associated with chronic inflammatory conditions
Amyloid associated (AA)
Disease characterized by circulating autoantibodies against NCl domain of the alpha-3 chain of collagen type IV affecting BM of glomeruli and lung alveoli
Goodpasture’s syndrome
Systemic disorders that may cause secondary amyloidosis
Goodpasture syndrome
Microscopic polyangiitis
Wegener granulomatosis
Purpura on extensor surfaces of arms and legs, and on buttocks. Necrotizing vasculitis, abdominal manifestations, non-migratory arthralgia, and renal abnormalities.
Henoch-Schonlein purpura
Pathogenesis renal damage in Henoch-Schonlein purpura
IgA deposits in mesangium, sometimes with IgG and C3 deposits
ANCA type associated with granulomatosis with polyangiitis
PR3-ANCAs
Upper respiratory signs of granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Nasal septum perforation
Chronic sinusitis
Otitis media
Mucosal ulcerations of the nasopharynx
Lower respiratory signs of granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Persistent pneumonitis with bilateral nodular and cavitary infiltrates
Hemoptysis, cough, and dyspnea
ANCA type associated with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
MPO-ANCAs
Classic associations with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis
Asthma
Allergic rhinitis
Lung infiltrates
Peripheral hypereosinophilia
Extravascular necrotizing granulomata
