Question | Answer |
---|---|
Best initial testing of Post streptococcal/post infectious glomerulo-itis shows | ASL O, anti-DNAse, anti hyaluronidase + low C3 |
Best initial test | |
Most accurate test Post streptococcal/post infectious glomerulo-itis and what does it show | bx (rarely done after serology) showing SUBEPITHELIAL IgG+C3 deposits |
Tx for Post streptococcal/post infectious glomerulo-itis | PCN/Antibx + diuretics for HTN |
Hep C pt c/o joint pain, purpuric skin lesions + renal | Cryoglobulinemia |
Best initial test Cryoglobulinemia and what does it show | Cryoglobulins (Igs, light chains, IgM) + low C4 |
Most accurate test Cryoglobulinemia | bx |
Best initial tx Cryoglobulinemia | IFN and ribavirin for Hep C |
What two organs does drug induced lupus spare | Kidney and brain |
Best initial test for SLE nephrx | ANA and anti-dsDNA |
Most accurate test SLE nephrx | Bx |
Renal bx fo SLE nephritis is used to do what | Guide therapy based on extent of involvement |
Tx for SLE nephrx sclerosis | Nothing |
Tx for SLE nephrx mild non-proliferative | Steroids |
Tx for SLE nephrx severe | Mycophenolate mofetil + steroids |
Hearing loss + eye problems + congenital | Alport’s |
Intravascular hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, creatinine, E. coli = | HUS |
Intravascular hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, creatinine, E. coli + fever + neuro shit = | TTP |
Tx for TTP | Plasmapheresis |
What should you avoid giving in HUS and TTP | Platelets and antibx |
HYPERproteinURIA, HYPOproteinemia, HYPERlipidemia, edema, thrombosis (protein C/S, anti-thrombin in urine) = | NephrOtic syndrome |
Best initial test NephrOtic syndrome | UA |
Other tests after UA for NephrOtic syndrome | Spot urine check protein:creatinine >3.5:1 OR 24 urine w/ > 3.5g Na |
Most accurate test NephrOtic syndrome | Bx |
MC –otic in adult w/ CA (lymphoma) | Membranous |
SPIKE DOME, IgG + C3 deposits GBM = | Membranous |
Immune complex deposition, TRAM TRACK, C3 Membranous | |
Hep C pt | Membranoproliferative |
Pt w/ no specific PE findings and nothing in labwork; you have to use History to dx these primary renal dz | Minimal change, Membranous, Membranoproliferative, focal segmental, mesangial |
HIV, heroin use, sickle cell pt | Focal segmental |
Foamy urine (protein), albumin edema, lipids↑, hypercoagulable (coag factors↑ loss AT3 causing less anticoags), HIV/heroin/sickle cell pt | FSGS |
Best initial tx FSGS | Steroids |
No response to steroids in FSGS | Cyclophosphamide |
If pt presents w/ proteinuria and nothing else suspicious what is first thing you do | Repeat UA |
If proteinuria still present in repeat UA then dx | Orthostatic proteinuria (a/w occupation) |
Confirmatory test for Orthostatic proteinuria | Split urine sample (AM and PM) |
If split urine in PM does not show > protein c/w AM urine then what do you next | Spot urine/24 urine to det protein:creatinine |
