|
Acute glomerulonephritis |
Deposition of immune complexes, formed in conjunction with Group A Streptococcus infection, on the glomerular membranes. |
|
|
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis |
Deposition of immune complexes from systemic immune disorders on the glomerular membrane. |
|
|
Goodpasture syndrome |
Attachment of a cytotoxic antibody formed during viral respiratory infections to glomerular and alveolar basement membranes. |
|
|
Wegener granulomatosis |
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody binds to neutrophils in vascular walls producing damage to small vessels in the lungs and glomerulus. |
|
|
Henoch-Schönlein purpura |
Occurs primarily in children following viral respiratory infections; a decrease in platelets disrupts vascular integrity. |
|
|
Membranous glomerulonephritis |
Thickening of the glomerular membrane following IgG immune complex deposition associated with systemic disorders. |
|
|
Membanoproliferative glomerulonephritis |
Cellular proliferation affecting the capillary walls or the glomerular basement membrane, possibly immune-mediated. |
|
|
Chronic glomerulonephritis |
Marked decrease in renal function resulting from glomerular damage precipitated by other renal disorders. |
|
|
IgA nephropathy |
Deposition of IgA on the glomerular membrane resulting from increased levels of serum IgA |
|
|
Nephrotic syndrome |
Disruption of the shield of negativity and damage to the tightly fitting podocyte barrier resulting in massive loss of protein and lipids |
|
|
Minimal change disease |
Disruption of the podocytes occuring primarily in children following allergic reactions and immunizations |
|
|
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis |
Disruption of podocytes in certain areas of glomeruli associated with heroin and analgesic abuse and AIDS. |
|
|
Alport syndrome |
Genetic disorder showing lamellated and thinning glomerular basement membrane |
