this problem is normally asymptomatic, and is thought to be benign. Yet ultimately, these pts can end up with impaired kidney function due to decreased blood flow. This problem eventually will be one that accounts for 1/3 of cases of end stage renal disease....
Hypertensive nephrosclerosis
for what population is hypertensive nephrosclerosis the leading cause of ESRD?
African-Americans
What are the LM findings of hypertensive nephrosclerosis in the large arteries and arterioles respectively
large a: intimal fibrosis with duplication of the elastic lamina

Arterioles: hyaline thickening of the wall
Diastolic pressures of over 130 mm Hg =
Malignant Hypertension
40 year old male presents with headache, dizziness, and visual disturbances. His BP is 180/137. What does he have?
Malignant Hypertension
what renovascular problem has the pathology of Cut surface is mottled red/yellow, with scattered infarcts
Fibrinoid necrosis, marked hyaline sclerosis, hyperplastic arteritis
Malignant Hypertension
Onion skin lesion=
Malignant Hypertension
can renal artery stenosis be reversed?
Can be reversed with reestablishment of lumen

Surgical revascularization, angioplasty, nephrectomy
pt has mild to moderate HT. you auscultate a bruit over main renal artery, so you order images. What is going on here? What is the number one cause?
Renal artery stenosis

Atherosclerosis (also vasculitis, fibromuscular dysplasia)
what hormone will be elevated on the affected side in the renal vein in renal artery stenosis?
Renin
in Fibromuscular Dysplasia, what portion of the arterial wall is affected? which is most often
Can affect intima, media, or and region of vessel wall from intima to adventitia
E.g., medial fibroplasia (most common; 66% of cases)
string of beads pattern on angiogram=
Fibromuscular Dysplasia

(Areas of thickening (e.g., medial) alternating with areas of atrophy)
Systemic thrombus formation throughout small vessels (capillaries, arterioles) leading to ischemia
Thrombotic Microangiopathies
pt presents with Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, renal failure... what do they have?
Thrombotic Microangiopathies

due to the narrow lumen, the RBCs are getting hung up and are being destroyed
Lab findings of Schistocytes (fragmented RBCs) in peripheral smear
Normal coagulation times; normal or slightly elevated FSPs

are consistent with?
Thrombotic Microangiopathies
the gross findings of:

ateriolar fibrinoid necrosis can be a feature of what 2 renovascular problems
Thrombotic Microangiopathies

malignant hypertensive nephropathy
if you see vascular thrombosis in microscopic features..what do you have?
Thrombotic Microangiopathies
what are the two forms of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)? What will be the pos/neg finding associated with each
Typical (epidemic, classic, diarrhea-positive)

Atypical (diarrhea-negative, non-endemic)
this problem is caused by ingestion of food contaminated with bacteria – Shiga-like toxin
typical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
typical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is found more in what population? onset?
children

sudden (due to ingestion of bacteria)

will see sudden onset of bleeding in kids especially in diarrhea
Child presents to your office reporting bloody diarrhea. He says symptoms started after attending a family BBQ. Lab shows blood in the urine as well. What do they have?
typical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
what causes atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Inherited mutations in complement system proteins
how do you have acquired atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Acquired: anti-phospholipid antibodies; associated with: pregnancy, oral contraceptives, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, autoimmune vasculitides
Adults
Worse prognosis
what is the classic pentad of clinical symptoms in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (TTP

****
Fever,
neurologic symptoms,
microangiopathic hemolytic anemia,
thrombocytopenia,
ARF
decrease function of the enzyme ADAMTS13 is seen in what? What does this cause?
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (TTP)

Persistent very large vWF promotes platelet aggregation

you will bleed more than normal because your platelets are used up
what is preeclampsia (3 features) and eclampsia?
Preeclampsia in 3rd trimester of pregnancy: Hypertension, proteinuria, edema

Eclamspia: above plus seizures
this problem leads to papillary necrosis because vascular occlusion will lead to hypoxic infarction of the papilla. FSGS may develop in some.... what does this describe?
Sickle cell nephropathy
tx for Sickle cell nephropathy?
improve O2, increase number of functional RBCs

Red cell exchange procedure
What is responsible for the majority of renal infarcts?
Embolization
What are 3 of the important sources of emboli for the kidney?
1. Cardiac MURAL thrombi (ventricular wall dyskinesia from prior MI; atrial fib)

2. Cardiac VALVULAR vegetations (infected, noninfected)

3. Complicated atherosclerotic PLAQUES
a 6 year old child develpos fever, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. Several other children in the neighborhood had similar sympotoms after eating at the same FF rest. The clin course in the child also includes hematuria and oliguria. What additional feature most likely would be associated with these findings?

1. hemoptysis

2. immune complex formation systemicall within large vessel vasculitis

3. immune complex formation systemically within small vessel vasculitis

4. malignant HT

5. thrombotic microangiopathy in the kidneys
this is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)

Hemoptysis: seen in good pastures...(antibody against type IV collagen of basement membrane)

2: this would be giant cell arteritis or renal artery stenosis

3. nephritis like syndrome

4. Malignant HT---not even close
