Week 9: Glomerular Disease Flashcards
What are the Nephrotic Syndromes
Diabetic Nephropathy, Amyloidosis, Minimal Change Disease, Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis, Membranous Nephropathy, and Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
What are the characteristics of Nephrotic Syndrome
3.5 g protein/day in urine
Decreased Albumin
Edema
Hyperlipidemia
What are the Nephritic Syndromes
Alport Syndrome, IgA Nephropathy, Rapid Progressive Glomerulnephritis, Infection-Associated Glomerulonephritis, and Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
What are the characteristics of Nephritic Syndrome
Hematuria
Hypertension
Proteinuria
Azotemia
ID - PCT, DCT, Glomerulus, Bowman’s Capsule, Mesangium,
ID - L, E, M, FP, P, and arrow
L - capillary Lumen
E - endothelium
M - Mesangial Cells
FP - foot processes
P - podocyte
Arrow - basement membrane
ID
Podocytes and Foot processes
ID
Capillary fenestrae
ID
Foot processes and fenestrae
ID
Granular pattern (immune complexes)
and
Linear pattern (no immune complexes)
are podocytopathies
Minimal Change Disease (MCD) and Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis (FSGS)
most common nephrotic syndrome in kids
Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
ID
Minimal Change Disease (MCD) - normal glomerulus PAS stain and Negative IF
ID
Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
ID
Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
Pathogenesis of Minimal Change Disease (MCD)
immune mediated cytokine injury of podocytes
secondary to infection, HL, and drugs (NSAIDs)
ID
“Focal” Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis
ID
Focal “Segmental” Glomerular Sclerosis
Common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults (particularly Hispanic and African American adults)
Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis
Primary/idiopathic
secondary: drugs (interferon), heroin, HIV, sickle cell disease, massive obesity “Collapsing Variant” is associated with HIV and has a poor prognosis
Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis (FSGS)
ID
Membranous Nephropathy - thickened Basement Membrane with PAS stain
