Introduction to Renal Pathology

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Lamination in the GBM at EM is diagnostic of ?   Hereditary Alport's Disease  
🗑
What are cryoglobulins   circulating immune complexes that precipitate in serum or plasma at 4-10 degrees C and re-dissolve upon warming to 37C  
🗑
What is a well known renal disease that is Autosomal Dominant with defect located in chromosome 16   Adult polycystic disease  
🗑
What are extra-renal problems associated with Alport disease   Deafness and leukocyte abnormalities  
🗑
What is the result of hyperfiltration through select nephrons due to persistent decreased regional blood flow   Sclerosisor hyalinization of glomeruli and loss of function  
🗑
Is the charge of the glomerular filter positive or negative   Negative: it is a major barrier to the filtration of anionic proteins  
🗑
What is the hepatic response to hypoalbuminemia   increased cholesterol and increased a2 globulin  
🗑
Nephrotic Syndrome: edema, proteinuria, children>adults, no hematuria, no elevation in creatinine and Highly Responsive to Steroids   Minimal Change Disease  
🗑
Minimal Change Disease is associated with what marker   HLA B12  
🗑
When you see "fusion" of epithelial cell foot processes think?   Minimal Change Disease  
🗑
If you have a chiild with minimal change disease and they do not respond to steroids think?   Wrong diagnosis it is likely Focal Segmental Glomeruosclerosis  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome with microscopic hematuria, later creatinine rise, black>white patients affected, poor response to steroids?   Focal Segmental Glomerular Sclerosis  
🗑
Why might an early biopsy of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis miss the diagnosis   because deep cortical glomeruli are affected first  
🗑
what would you see on immunofluorescence with FSGS   IgM and C3 in the sclerotic lesions in the glomerulus  
🗑
What is the etiology of Membranous Nephropathy   In Situ immune complex deposition  
🗑
what is the characteristic finding with Membranous Nephropathy   On silver stain you see highlights of spikes of GBM between the immune deposits  
🗑
What is the peak age of Membranous Nephropathy   4th or 5th decade rare in children  
🗑
What do you see on Immunofluorescence with membranous nephropathy   granular deposits of IgG and C3 along GBM  
🗑
Are steroids effective in treating Membranous GN   In Stage I patients respond to corticosteroid in Stage II 50% respond to steroid treatments  
🗑
Nodular Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis is also known as?   Kimmelstiel-Wilson Disease (bad prognosis)  
🗑
Kimmelstiel Wilson Disease is often associated with what retinal finding   microaneurysms  
🗑
What is the earliest change noted in Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis   Diffuse thickening of the GBM  
🗑
What is the immunofluorescence finding on Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis   NONSPECIFIC linear highlighting of GBM giving a linear staining with antibody to IgG via Trapping NOT Autoantibodies  
🗑
Does Diabetic arteriosclerosis affect the afferent or efferent arterioles   Both  
🗑
If you have a Congo Red Positive with Apple Green Bi-refringence under polarized light think?   Amyloidosis  
🗑
AL Amyloid is secondary to?   monoclonal gammopathies associated with light chain deposition (lamda most common)  
🗑
AA amyloid is associated with?   chronic inflammatory diseases associated with deposition of acute phase proteins (SAA)  
🗑
What are some diseases associated with AA amyloid   Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic infections (TB), Some Neoplasms (Renal Cell Carcinoma and Hodgkin's)  
🗑
What are the EM findings of Amyloid   Amyloid fibrils are non-branching with a uniform diameter of 8-12nM with a tangled appearance  
🗑
