Q

circulating immune complex deposition

A

⋅ Type III Hypersensitivity reaction
⋅ Formation of antigen-antibody immune complex outside kidney that circulates and deposits in the
subintimal space, between the endothelial cells and the glomerular basement membrane of kidney ⋅ Phagocytes can’t engulf the Ag/Ab complex because they are hidden, so they release enzymes. The
enzymes damage the Ag/Ab complex, the structure of the glomerulus, as well as the vascular walls leading
to vasculitis. Function of the glomerulus is lost due to the damage. ⋅ Eventually develops vasculitis with damage of vascular walls

Q

anti-glomerular basement membrane

A

⋅ Type II Hypersensitivity reaction (complement-dependent), autoimmune ⋅ Antigen forms against GBM, Ag/Ab complex forms in the kidneys (within glomerulus), attract phagocytic
cells causing chemical injury to GBM – can engulf entire glomerulus

Q

heymanns glomerulonephritis

A

⋅ No specific type of hypersensitivity reaction, combination of several types ⋅ Ag/Ab complex forms against the visceral epithelial cells (podocytes) within kidneys. ⋅ Fragments of bacterial walls and dead cells get caught in the space between the glomerular basement
membrane and the podocytes. Viruses like to go to where these fragments are.
-sub epithelial deposits

Q

Mesangial Cells

A

– part of the interstitial tissue within the glomeruli. They are active contractile cells that
produce and release collagen and matrix (mucopolysaccharides).
⋅ Monocytes can also be found in the space between capillaries and mesangial cells
– Located in the space between the capillaries – Contractile – Can produce components of connective tissue and participate in process of proliferation (healing) – Can produce erythropoietin – Can also produce some physiologically active substances
– Interstitial space

Q

Juxtaglomerular Cells “Security”

A

– produce renin (most important), control blood pressure in the afferent
arteriole.
– Immune system of kidney function, control blood pressure in afferent arteriole – Angiotensin II, which functions to increase blood pressure – Decrease of glomerular filtration rate due to decrease BP (At least 50 mL/Hg)

  • polyarteritis nodosa (Periarteritis)
  • berger’s disease (IgA nephropathy)
  • alport syndrome (hereditary glomerulonephritis)
25
diseases that are associated with nephrotic syndrome
- Minimal Change Disease aka Lipoid Nephrosis - Membranous Glomerulonephritis - Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis - Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis - diabetes mellitus - acute pyelonephritis - chronic glomerulonephritis - amyloidosis
26
nephritic syndrome
- azotemia - oliguria - decrease GFR - uremia - hematuria - hypertension
27
nephrotic syndrome
- massive proteinuria (>3.5g/day) - hypoalbuminemia - generalized edema - muehrcke's lines/nails/leukonychia striata (white stripes) - hyperlipidemia - cardiac tamponade - kidney amyloidosis
28
Wegener's granulematosus
Classified by Necrotic Vasculitis of three major systems: 1. Upper Respiratory Tract – soft tissue and bones decay (facial skull), death occurs within months, supporative inflammation accompanied with bad smelling person 2. Lower Respiratory Tract – cavities form in the lungs due to vasculitis o Causes decrease in pressure in the pulmonary artery 3. Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis – crescentic nephritis
29
Polyarteritis Nodosa (aka Periarteritis)
– Vasculitis and pouching all over body except the lungs and aortic arch (medium and small) ● Narrowing of the artery lumen caused by swelling of the vascular wall (due to inflammation), leading to ischemia of the tissue – Arterial walls become thin, brittle, and distend in pouches (nodes) further weakening wall – Pouching out of the walls of the arteries compress adjacent tissues, causing atrophy of these tissues, therefore infarctions – High mortality rate, swelling of soft tissues/loss of soft tissue with no damage to bones – Autoimmune disease, unknown cause. It may be a genetic predisposition involving antigens. – Associated with Wet Gangrene
30
Berger’s Disease (aka IgA Nephropathy)
– Most common glomerular disease in the world and most common cause of gross hematuria – Not part of rapidly progressive – Usually develops in children and young people, particularly boys. – Gross hematuria (most common) develops within 1-2 days of non-specific respiratory infection (common cold), lasts for several days and subsides on its own. Occurs again in several months ● (or after urinary or gastrointestinal tract infection, which may be associated with development of gross hematuria) – Patient will complain of loin pain (low back, buttocks) – Increased findings of IgA, which are deposited into mesangium (hallmark of disease) ● Compare to purpura, which is a systemic disease ● If missed, it is not a real big deal. (chronic nephritis)
31
BUERGER DISEASE aka Thromboantitis Obliterans
- autoimmune vasculitis of middle to small sized arteries - TIBIAL, RADIAL, ULNAR a. - "disease of smoking people" - young people 30-35 - instep claudication - reynauds syndrome - thrombophlebitis - dry gangrene - india, japan, israel genetic predisposition
32
Alport syndrome | aka hereditary glomerulonephritis
- boys = 10 - nerve deafness, lens dislocation, posterior cataracts, corneal dystrophy - chronic glomerulonephritis
33
Things that lead to chronic Glomerulonephritis (GN)
- Poststreptococcal GN - rapidly progressive (crescent) GN - Membranous GN - Focal Glomerulosclerosis - Membranoprliferative GN - bergers IgA nephropathy
34
Amyloidosis
– pathologic proteins (Amyloid AA or Amyloid BB) deposit into tissue interstitium and create pressure atrophy in the kidneys, liver, heart and skin . or brain -nephrotic syndrome= kidney amyloidosis
35
most likely nephritic syndrome to become chronic GMN
rapidly progressive crescent GMN
36
most likely nephrotic syndrome to become GMN
Focal segmental GMN
37
gouty GMN
- itching due to urine excretion through the skin | - CNS infection
38
Acute Pyelonephritis
– infection of the urinary tract, commonly traveling up the ascending pathway through the ureter and into the kidney paths and parenchyma -renal pyramids broke down -necrotizing papilitis (suppurative) -assoc w/ diabetes mellitus -usually e coli or strep, g- rods -chronic pyelonephritis is #1 cause of female Chronic GMN
39
diabetic nephropathy
- glomerular lesions - thickening of basement membrane - diffuse glomerulosclerosis - nodular glomerulosclerosis - renal vascular lesions - pyelonephritis
40
Diffuse glomerulosclerosis
– diffuse increase of mesangial matrix, mesangial cell proliferation
41
Nodular glomerulosclerosis
– characterized by Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesions (ball-like deposits of a laminated matrix within the mesangium)
42
Chronic GMN presentation
- kidney becomes granulated - breath smells like urine (uremia) - manifestations of either nephrotic or nephritic syndromes or both
