what is the fundamental defect in SLE?
self tolerance loss. CD4 T cell dep B cell hypersensitivity. Type II(cell surface) III(multiple organs)
What is the significance of antibodies against the phospholipid-b2-glycoprotein complex
bind to cardiolipin antigen. Used in syphillis, SLE pts can have false + for syphillis. Antigens associated with hypercoaguable states
most common causes of death in SLE?
kidney failure, recurrent infections-immunosuppresant drugs. CAD
if serum protein electrophoresis shows polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, what does the pt have
SLE
if serum protein electrophoresis shows monoclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, what does the pt have
multiple myeloma
lymphocytic infiltrate at dermal-epidermal junction and loss of basal cells in skin is characteristic of
SLE
if renal glomerular immunofluorescence staining for IgG shows linear pattern of staining with anti-glomerular BM antibodies, pt has
goodpastures syndrome
38 yr old female with dry mouth, mild conjunctivities,sore eyes, mild bilateral pain in hands, wrists, kness.
Sjogrens.
sjogrens is typical in which pts? What do they present with
50-60 yr old women with keratoconjunctivitis(dry eyes) dry mouth, enlarged parotid gland, inflamed/fissured tongue, dental caries, ulcerations of nose, mouth
extraglandular disease seen in 1/3 pts with sjogrens include
synovitis, diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, peripheral nephropathy, --automminue disease also(RA)
what autoantibodies are present in someone with Sjogrens
RF, anti-Ro, anti-La(SS-A, SS-B)
what is Mikulicz syndrome?
destruction of both lacrimal and salivary glands. Nonspecific-present in sarcoidosis
mononuclear cell infiltrate and ductal epithelial hyperplasia indicates
Sjogrens.
sjogrens has a 44x increased risk for
B cell lymphoma
55 yr female has polyneuropathy, Raynauds phenomenon, swelling to forearms, face, trunk. Ulcer on finger. Hard skin on hand, forearms, face
scleroderma
what autoantibodies are present for scleroderma
ANA, anti-topoisomerase
a pt with scleroderma presents with
thickening of skin, Raynaud phenomena, esophageal fibrosis, resp insufficiency-pulmonary fibrosis, GI-malabsorption, abdominal pain, obstruction. Hypertension-narrowing of intrarenal arteries
what damage to GI tract is present with scleroderma?
ischemic damage to neurons with smooth m. atrophy, fibrosis. GE reflux, Barrett esophagus, dysphagia, malaborption
difference between diffuse and limited scleroderma?
diffuse-widespread skin involvement, early visceral involvement. Anti-topoisomerase. LIMITED-CREST-skin involv to face, fingers, forearms. Better prognosis. Anti-centromere
what is CREST syndrome?
calcinosis, Raynauds, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly(tapered fingers), telangiectatia(cap dilation-swelling)
etiology of Scleroderma?
abnormal T cell CD4 activation-release of cytokines. Fibroblasts produce collagen, endothelial cell injury-fibrosis, vascular instability, ischemia to multiple organs
leading cause of mortality of ppl with scleroderma? What can it also cause?
pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale(R heart failure)
62 yr man with orthopnea, nocturia, bulky, greasy stools. MI. highBUN, creatinine, protein in urine. Rouleaux formation, lymphocytosis
prostate, CHF, atherosclerosis, AMYLOIDOSIS
proteinaceous substance deposited extracellular in many organs in a variety of clinical settings.
amyloid
group of disease with similar protein deposits in tissue. Primary and generalized(multiple myeloma), Alzheimer, chronic inflammation, hereditary
amyloidosis
serum monoclonal IgM and Bence Jones proteinuria indicates
amyloid deposition. (multiple myeloma)
what stain is amyloid seen in? what color does it turn with polarized light?
Congo red stain. Turns apple green
frequently associated with multiple myeloma or other monoclonal B-cell proliferation and often involves the heart, GI tract, peripheral nerves, kidney, and tongue (AL fibril protein).
primary amyloidosis
follows a chronic inflammatory disorder and the deposits are of the AA fibril protein.
secondary amyloidosis
What features on the above patient's rectal biopsy were likely diagnostic for amyloidosis?
