RENAL DSE Flashcards
(57 cards)
CLASSIFICATIONS OF RENAL DISEASE
o Majority are of immune origin (immune complexes, IgG, IgA)
o Common: proteinuria, hematuria, casts
Glomerular disorders
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
“WHARG - CIMMM - FADN”
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Henoch Schönlein Purpura
Acute Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulo
Goodpasture Syndrome
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease)

Minimal Change Disease, MCD
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
(FSGS)
Alport Syndrome
Diabetic Nephropathy
Nephrotic Syndrome
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Group A Streptococcus (S. pyogenes) infection
on the glomerular membranes
Acute Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
–along with RHD
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
Findings:
- Macroscopic hematuria, proteinuria, dysmorphic RBCs/glomerular membrane damage, RBC casts, granular casts
- (+) ASO titer and anti-DNAse B
Acute Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Deposition of immune complexes from
systemic immune disorders (ex: SLE) on the glomerular membrane - Cellular proliferation of epithelial cells
inside the Bowman’s capsule form “crescents” - MURAG MOON SA HISTO SLIDE
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulonephritis
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS?
Findings:
- Macroscopic hematuria
- Proteinuria
- RBC casts
“RGWH”
- Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic)
Glomerulonephritis - Goodpasture Syndrome
- Wegener’s Granulomatosis
- Henoch Schönlein Purpura
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
Deposition of antiglomerular basement
membrane antibody- IgG to glomerular and
alveolar basement membranes
Goodpasture Syndrome
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic auto-antibody (ANCA)
-(perinuclear-ANCA) forms when neutrophils are fixed in ethanol
- (cytoplasmic-ANCA) forms when neutrophils are fixed with formalin
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
NOW CALLED: Granulomatosis with Polyangitis-GPA
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Occurs in children following viral
respiratory infections - Decrease in platelets disrupts vascular
integrity
Henoch Schönlein Purpura
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Thickening of glomerular membrane
following IgG immune complex
deposition associated with systemic
disorders
Membranous Glomerulonephritis (MGN)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Cellular proliferation affecting the
capillary walls or the glomerular
basement membrane, possibly
immune-mediated
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Disruption of podocytes in certain
numbers and areas of glomeruli,
others remain normal - IgM and C3 are evident on the sclerotic areas (using IF)
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
(FSGS)
—FOCAL means certain areas only ang affected
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS?
findings:
- Proteinuria
- Hematuria
“MMF”
-Membranous Glomerulonephritis (MGN)
-Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN)
-Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
(FSGS)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Marked decrease in renal function
resulting from glomerular damage
precipitated by other renal disorders - Progression to renal failure
- long term, less painful and irreversible
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
FINDINGS:
- Hematuria
- Proteinuria, Glucosuria
- Cellular & granular casts
- WAXY AND BROAD CASTS
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
Deposition of lgA on the glomerular
membrane resulting from increased
levels of IgA
IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
FINDINGS:
- Early stages: Hematuria
- Late stages: waxy and broad casts
IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Little cellular changes in the
glomerulus
-Disruption of podocytes primarily in
children following allergic reactions &
immunizations - Associated with HLA-B12 antigen
Minimal Change Disease, MCD or
(Nil Disease/Lipoid Nephrosis)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
findings:
- Heavy proteinuria
- Transient hematuria
- Fat droplets
Minimal Change Disease, MCD
(Nil Disease/Lipoid Nephrosis)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Most common cause of ESRD
- Deposition of glycosylated proteins on
the glomerular basement membranes
caused by poorly controlled blood
glucose levels
Diabetic Nephropathy (KimmelstielWilson Disease)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
findings:
- Microalbuminuria
- + Micral test
Diabetic Nephropathy (KimmelstielWilson Disease)
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Genetic disorder showing lamellated
and thinning of glomerular basement
membrane - with GIANT PLATELETS
Alport Syndrome
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
- Disruption of the electrical charges/shield of negativity that produce the tightly fitting podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of proteins & lipids deposited in urine
Occurs in patients with MCD (in children), MGN (in adults), FSGS and
MPGN
Nephrotic Syndrome
GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
Urinalysis Findings:
- Albumin, a1, B, gamma-globulins
- (-) a2-macroglobulin
- Oval fat bodies
- Fatty casts
- Waxy casts
- ↑ Albumin
- ↑ Lipase
- ↑ Lipids
Serum Findings:
- Albumin, α1, gamma - globulins
- α2-macroglobulin
- β-globulin (LDL)
- ↓ Albumin
- ↓ Lipase
- ↑ Lipids
- ↑ Apo B100
- ↑ LDL and
VLDL - ↑ Chole &
