other name for good pastures
anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
what is good pastures/anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
auto antibodies against type IV collagen
anti-glomerular basement membrane disease/goodpastures, why kidney and pulmonary affected
against type IV collagen that are found in these sites
anti-glomerular basement membrane disease/ good pastures: nephritis or nephrotic
nephritis (inflammation = itis)
renal biopsy: mesangial proliferation, immunofluorescence+
IgA nephropathy
treatment for IgA nephropathy
control BP with ACE, immune suppression
Is a systemic variant of IgA nephropathy
Henoch-Schonlein purpura
Pathophysiology of Henoch-Schonlein purpura
systemic IgA immune complex formation that causes small vessel vasculitis - get purpuric rash on extensor surfaces, usually legs
which types of glomerulonephritis’ can cause end stage renal failure
IgA, Henoch-Schonlein purpura
good pastures treatment
plasma exchange, steroids +/- cytotoxics (methotrexate)
Post strep pathophysiology
strep antigen deposited in glomerulus = immune complex formation and inflammation
post strep treatment
supportive
immunofluorescence in goodpastiures will show what
IgG
4 examples of nephritic
IgA
post strep
vasculitis (wegners)
anti-GBM aka goodpastures
In what group of conditions do you see crescenting
nephritic - usually rapidly progressing GN
what are those with nephrotic syndrome more prone to infection
urinate out antibodies (IgG)
minimal change treatment
steroids - if relapse give cyclophosphamide (chemo)
nephrotic syndrome kids get
minimal change
diagnosis: immunofluorescence IgM
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
furosemide is what type of diuretic
loop
Loop diuretics work how
block NA/K+ pump in ascending loop = no water reuptake = Na, Ca and K+ loss
when do you use a loop diuretic (furosemide)
pulmonary and peripheral oedema
hypercalcaemia
side effect of loop (furosemide)
hypokalaemia
which diuretic can be used to treat severe hypercalcaemia
loop ie: furosemide (get calcium and K+ loss)
