Thomas: Acute/subacute Renal Failure: Glomerular Disease
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Nephrotic Syndrome | Non-inflammatory Damage to the basement membrane Increased permeability Proteinuria >3.5 g/d |
Increased premeability leads to... | ↓ albumin ↓ oncotic pressure ↓ effective circulating volume Loss of Antithrombin III |
Nephritic Syndrome | Inflammatory Immune-mediated damage Infiltrates of neutrophils and phagocytes -Crescentic lesions -Rupture of GBM |
Clinical and lab findings with nephritic syndrome | Hematuria Oliguria HTN RBC casts Proteinuria <3.5g/d |
Glomerular diseases: Symptoms | Edema Weight gain Malaise Oliguria Hematuria Worsening HTN |
Glomerular diseases: Past Medical Hx | HTN DM Hep B/C HIV Hyperlipidemia DVT/PE |
Glomerular diseases: Family Hx | Kidney disease DM Autoimmune Dz |
Glomerular diseases: Physical exam | Edema, JVD, crackles HTN Conjunctival pallor Signs of autoimmune dz Xanthomas |
General labs/workup | Rule out pre/post-renal Urine protein/Cr ratio UA specifically for casts Cholesterol panel Albumin |
What tests are used to help rule out pre/post-renal ARF? | Bladder scan UA Specific gravity FeNa Uosm |
Nephrotic syndrome findings | Proteinuria >3.5 Serum albumin <3.5 Cholesterol >300 mg/dL Oval fat bodies on UA |
Nephrotic syndrome findings (cont.) | ↓Ca due to ↓albumin Anemia due to loss of transferrin and erythropoietin Hypercoaguability due to loss of Antithrombin III |
Nephrotic Syndrome Tx | Statins ACEI/ARBs Fluid and salt retention |
Nephrotic Syndrome **BUZZWORDS** | Proteinuria Hypoabluminemia Edema Hyperlipidemia |
Nephrotic syndromes | Minimal change disease Focal segmental GS Membranous GN Diabetic GS Amyloid |
Minimal Change Disease | Most common type in kids 90% of nephrotic cases <10 Sudden onset Usually idiopathic |
Minimal Change Disease: Association and Damage | A: Medications Lymphomas D: effacement of podocytes |
Why do you get the nephrotic proteinuria with MCD? | Uniform thinning of GBM Subepithelial accumulation of immune complexes Disrupted filtration slits |
Minimal Change Disease Clinical and Dx | Edema Proteinuria (up to 9g/d) Dx: biopsy shows effacement of podocytes |
Minimal Change Disease Tx and prognosis | Tx: High dose steroids for 8 weeks Prognosis: Very good, few progress to ESRD |
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) | #1 cause of nephrotic syndrome in African Americans ~30% of adult nephrotic |
FSGS Mechanism | HTN causes hyperfiltration Accumulation of ECM Leads to scarring and tamponade Epithelial cells damaged |
FSGS Associations | ***HIV*** IV heroin Urethral reflux Massive obstruction Chronic pyelonephritis Interstitial kidney dz |
FSGS Clinical | Usually asymptomatic Microscopic hematuria initially |
FSGS Tx and prognosis | Tx High dose steroids Treat underlying cause Prognosis 50% → ESRD in 5 yrs |
Membranous Glomerulonephropathy | From antibody/antigen deposition Up to 1/3 adult nephrotic 2:1 M:F Typical age 30-50 |
Membranous Glomerulonephropathy Mechanism | Damage to mesangial matrix Immune cells can't cross GBM so it's non-inflammatory |
Membranous Glomerulonephropathy Causes | Usually idiopathic **Malignancies** -Breast, colon, stomach, kidney, lung Hepatitis B/C Syphilis, DM, SLE |
Membranous Glomerulonephropathy Workup and Tx | Exclude SLE, RA Hepatitis serologies **age appropriate cancer screenings** Tx: Steroids and cytotoxic agents |
Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis Developes within... | 5-10yrs in DM II 10-20yrs in DM I ~50% diabetics |
Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis Increased prevalence in... | Smokers Non-whites Pts with poor glycemic and BP control |
Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis Dx | Urine microslbumin test -microalb/Cr >30 Nodular sclerosis on biopsy **Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodules** |
Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis Tx | Glycemic control BP control with ACEI/ARBs Intensive cholesterol control (LDL<100) |
Nephritic disease | Inflammatory responce Immune mediated damage Crescentric lesions Plug up Bowman's Capsule Necrosis/thinning of GBM Rupture of GBM |
Nephritic disease Clinical | *********** *Hematuria* *Oliguria * * HTN * *********** |
Nephritic disease Labs | UA: Hematuria RBC casts Protein <3.5g/d |
Nephritic Diseases | IgA Nephropathy Henoch Schonlein Purpura Post-infectious GN Membranoproliferative GN Anti-GBM/Goodpasture's Syndrome |
What immunoglobulin plays a critical role in mucosal immunity? | IgA |
IgA Nephropathy | #1 cause of GN worldwide 2-3 days post infection |
Causes of IgA nephropathy | URT and GI infxn Causes defective mucosal immunity Overproduction and increased serum IgA |
How does a pt with IgA nephropathy present? | 1. Macroscopic or gross hematuria 2. Microscopic hematuria 3. High BP or kidney failure |
IgA nephropathy Clinical findings, Dx and Tx | Macroscopic hematuria 40% have asymptomatic microscopic hematuria Normal complement (C3&4) Tx ACEI/ARBs, steroids |
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura | Disease of kids Follows URI IgA in: -skin, GI tract, kidney, joints |
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Clinical findings and Tx | Lower extremity bruising Bloody diarrhea Hematuria/HTN Arthalgias Tx: supportive |
Post-Infectious GN | Subendothelial antigen deposition 2-3 weeks post infxn Low C3 and C4 |
How is streptococcal pharyngitis diagnosed? | Rapid strep test ASO titer |
Post-Infectious GN Dx and Tx | Dx: Hx, ASO titer, anti-DNAase B Tx: none, self-resolving |
Membranoproliferative GN | Idiopathic cases uncommon Usually secondary to other dz |
Membranoproliferative GN Associated with | Sjogren's Syndrome SLE Hep B/C WITH cryoglobulinemia Infective endocarditis |
Membranoproliferative GN Labs and Tx | UA with dysmorphic RBCs, RBC casts, low C3 and normal C4 Treat underlying cause, steroids, antiplatelets |
Anti-GB/Goodpasture's Syndrome | 10-20% of cases of rapidly progressive GN Can be ANCA+ Antibodies to type IV collagen |
Anti-GB/Goodpasture's Syndrome Clinical | Rapid onset of HTN Oliguria **Fatal if not treated promptly** |
Anti-GB/Goodpasture's Syndrome Kidney and lung involvement | Kidney only More common in older women (Anti-GBM) Kidney/lung More common in young men (Goodpasture's syndrome) |
Goodpasture's Syndrome | 70% will have alveolar hemorrhage (hemoptosis) |
Anti-GB/Goodpasture's Syndrome Dx and Tx | Dx Anti-GBM antibodies, biopsy Tx Cyclophosphamide+steroids Plasmapheresis if pulmonary hemorrhage |
Anti-GB/Goodpasture's Syndrome Prognosis depends on... | Promptness of Dx and Tx Degree of kidney involvement |
