CKD part 2 Flashcards
what is included in the nephritic spectrum
- urine sediment with hematuria, +/- RBC casts
- Proteinuria (< 3 g/d)
- Nephritic - i for inflammation/immune, which is often involved
what is included in the nephrotic syndrome
- “Bland” urine sediment - no cells or casts (May see oval fat bodies)
- Proteinuria (at least 300 mg/d, often > 3 g/d)
- Nephrotic - o for protein
- hypertriglyceridemia/hyperlipidemia
what are general findings of glomerulonephritis
- decreased GFR
- edema and HTN
- smoky/coca cola colored urine (hematuria)
- uremic s/s
lab findings in glomerulonephritis
- high serum Cr
- hematuria and protein in urinalysis
- RBC, WBC, RBC casts on urine sediment
I skipped all of the causes because we learned these in AKI
sorry:(
what is treatment for glomerulonephritis
- management of HTN and volume overload
- ACE/ARB for proteinuria
- immunosuppressive agents (high dose corticosteroids or cytotoxic agents)
- plasma exchange for goodpasture or pauci-immune glomerulonephritis.
what is postinfectious glomerulonephritis
glomerulonephritis due to bacteria or pathogens. usually GABHS
what test helps make the definitive diagnosis for postinfectious glomerulonephritis
biopsy showing “humps” of immune complex deposits.
what is the treatment for postinfectious glomerulonephritis
- treat infection
- supportive (antiHTN, diuretics, salt restriction)
- NO steroids (doesnt show improvement)
what is the MC primary glomerular disease worldwide
IgA nephritis (Berger’s Disease)
what is the demographics MC in Berger’s disease
2-3x more common in males; MC in children and young adults
what is the MC symptom in berger’s disease
Episode of gross hematuria.
(often in onjunction with URI)
what is considered low risk bergers disease and how would you treat it?
no HTN, normal GFR, minimal proteinuria
tx: monitor yearly
what is considered high risk bergers disease and how would you treat it?
proteinuria>1.0, decreased GFR, HTN
tx: ACE/ARB
what is the prognosis for bergers disease
33% spontaneous remission
20-40% progress to ESRD (especially if > 1 g/d proteinuria)
what is Henoch-Schonlein purpura
systemic small-vessel vasculitis assicaited with IgA deposition in vessel walls
what is the S/S of henoch schonlein purpura
- palpable purpura in LE and buttocks
- arthralgias
- abdominal symptoms (nausea, colic, melena)
what is the treatment for henoch schonlein purpura
no tx only supportive care (hydration, rest, sleep)
what is prognosis for henoch scholein purpura
make full recovery over several weeks. may progress to CKD
what is pictured
henoch scholein purpura
what is the MCC of nephrotic glomerular disease in US
DM
what are the general S/S of nephrotic syndrome
subnephrotic proteinuria - little to no s/s
nephrotic syndrome (peripheral edema, dyspnea, pleural effusions, ascites)
what does urinalysis show in nephrotic syndrom
proteinuria 300mg/d or more
what is the urine sediment showing in nephrotic syndrome
- If marked HLD - oval fat bodies
“Grape clusters” (light microscopy) or “Maltese crosses” (polarized light)
