§ Increased fibrin degradation products (FDP)


§ Increased IgA immune complex

Goodpasture Syndrome

o Urine: hematuria, proteinuria, RBC casts, elevated BUN and creatinine levels




Henoch-Schonlein Purpura

Glomerular Disorder


Raised, red patches on skin: in kids after upper respiratory infection


o Urine: proteinuria & hematuria & RBC casts


o Symptoms: following respiratory infection, blood in sputum & stools possible


- 50% make complete recovery to normal renal function

Membranous Glomerulonephritis

Glomerular Disorder


IgG cause thickening of glomerular BM


o Associted: SLE, Sjogren, Syphillus, Hep B,


o Symptoms: edema, weight gain, hypertenstion, noctura & thrombosis



o Urine: micro hematuria & elevated protein


· Membrano-proliferative Glomerulonephritis Type 1


Glomerular Disorder


o increased cellularity in the subendothelial cells in megnesium


§ Thickening of capillary walls


§ Progress to nephrotic syndrome


· Membrano-proliferative Glomerulonephritis Type 2


Glomerular Disorder


o extremely dense deposits in the glomerular basement


§ Experience symptoms of chronic glomerulonephritis


Chronic Glomerulonephritis

Glomerular Disorder


progression from previous disorders


o Symptoms: fatigue, anemia, hypertension, edema & oliguria


o Urine: hematuria, proteinuria, glucosuria, cellular, granular, waxy and broad casts


-Decreased GFR, increased BUN & creatinine levels & electrolyte imbalance

IgA Nephropathy (Berger's disease)

Glomerular Disorder


Most common cause of glomerulonephritis


o Cause: IgA complexes on glomerular membrane: increase serum IgA


o Symptoms: macroscopic hematuria from exercise or infection w spontaneous recovery


§ 20 years later: gradual progression to chronic glomerulonephritis


o Urine: granular and disintegrating RBC casts

Nephrotic Syndrome

Glomerular Disorder


o Cause: acute onset from systemic shock (Low BP) or glomerulonephritis complication


§ Glomerular membrane damage & changes in podocyte electrical charges


§ Protein passes through membrane; serum albumin depleted


· Causes lipid production

o Symptoms: edema: loss of oncotic pressure


o Urine: marked proteinuria (>3.5g/day) microscopic hematuria, RTE cells & casts, oval fat bodies, fat droplets, fatty and waxy casts


Minimal Change Disease

Glomerular Disorder


o Cause: damage to podocytes & shield of negativity allows increased protein filtration


o Symptoms: seen in children with allergic reactions, immunization, HLA-B12


o Urine: heavy proteinuria, transient hematuria: normal BUN & creatinine levels


Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis

Glomerular Disorder


Similar to nephrotic syndrome but affects only certain numbers and areas of glomeruli: podocytes are damaged


o Cause: IgM and C3 immune deposits: can be seen in undamaged glomeruli


§ Heroin and analgesic abuse, HIV


o Urine: moderate to heavy proteinuria; microscopic hematuria

Alport Syndrome

Tubular Disorder:


Inherited sex-linked autosomal disorder affecting BM


o Cause: macroscopic hematuria w respiratory infections by age 6


- Males more severely affected


- Membrane laminated with thinning; no immune complexes


o Urine: mild to persistent hematuria, later nephrotic syndrome, renal failure


Uromodulin-Associated Kidney Disease

Tubular Disorder:


Formerly Tamm-Horsfal


o Cause: inherited disorder = abnormal buildup or uromodulin in tubular cells


§ Tubular cells become destroyed


§ Tamm-Horsfal protein is the only protein actually produced by the kidney


o Symptoms: patients have elevated serum uric acid/gout early age before renal symptom


Diabetic Nephropathy

Tubular Disorder:


Most common cause endstage renal disease


o Glomerular BM Thickening


§ Increased proliferation of mesangial cells


§ Increased deposition of cellular and non-cellular material within matrix of bowman’s capsule around capillary tufts


o Symptoms: sclerosis of vascular structure; reason for early microalbumin testing


§ Deposition associated with glycosylated proteins from poorly controlled diet


Acute Tubular Necrosis

Tubular Disorder:


Ischemia (severe decrease in blood flow)


o Cause: trauma, surgery, cardiac failure, electricity, toxogenic bacteria, anaphylasix


§ Nephtoroxic agents = aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, ethylene glycol, heavy metals, mushroom poisoning, hemoglobin, myoglobin


o Urine: mild proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, RTE cells/casts, hyaline, waxy, granular
