Study These Flashcards
A
  • chronic renal failure
24
Q

what is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in caucasian adults

Study These Flashcards
A
  • membraneous nephropathy
25
membraneous nephropathy associated with
- Hep B or C - solid tumors - SLE - drugs
26
what drugs is membraneous nephropathy associated with
- NSAIDS | - penicillamine
27
membraneous nephropathy on H&E
- thick glomerular basement membrane
28
membraneous nephropathy - immune complexes?
- yes | - due to immune complex deposition
29
membraneous nephropathy - IF
- granular
30
membraneous nephropathy - EM
- sub epithelial deposits with spike and dome appearance
31
membraneous nephropathy response to steroids
- poor
32
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis on H&E
- thick glomerular basement membrane | - tram-track appearance
33
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis due to
- immune complex deposition
34
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis dividid into two types based on
- location of deposits
35
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type I deposited where
- sub endothelial
36
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type I associated with
- HBV and HCV
37
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II deposits
- intramembraneous
38
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II associated with
- C3 nephritic factor
39
role of C3 nephritic factor
- stabilized C3 convertase | - leads to over activation of complement
40
C3 levels in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
- low
41
membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis response to steroids
- poor response to steroids
42
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy - high serum glucose leads to
- nonenzymatic glycosylation of the vascular basement membrane resulting in hyaline ateriolosclerosis
43
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy - which arteriole more effected - leads to
- efferent arteriole | - high glomerular filtration pressure
44
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy - hyper filtration leads to
- microalbuminuria
45
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy progresses to
- nephrotic syndrome
46
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy - characterized by
- sclerosis of mesangium | - formation of Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules
47
diabetes mellitus glomerulonephropathy - treatment
- ACE inhibitors slow progression of hyper filtration induced damage
48
systemic amyloidosis - organ most involved
- kidney
49
systemic amyloidosis - amyloid deposits in resulting in
- mesangium | - nephrotic syndrome
50
systemic amyloidosis - characterized by which test
- Congo red stain | - apple green birefringence
