these are essential in the diagnosis of:
Hematuria, dysmorphic red cells, red cell casts, and mild proteinuria Dependent edema dependent upon gravity Hypertension Acute renal insufficiency changes in labs |
glomerulonephritis
|
|
|
Acute glomerulonephritis is an uncommon cause of acute renal failure : T or F
|
T
5% of cases of intrinsic renal failure |
|
|
Pathologically, inflammatory glomerular lesions seen
The larger the percentage of glomeruli involved and the more severe the lesion, the more likely the patient will have a poor clinical outcome |
glomerulonephritis

|
Immune complex deposition usually takes place when moderate antigen excess over antibody production occurs
Complexes formed with marked antigen excess tend to remain in circulation Antibody excess with large antigen-antibody aggregates results in clearance of the precipitates by the liver and spleen |

glomerulonephritis markers:
|
antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)
anti-GBM antibodies, and (glomerular basement membrane) other immune markers |
