Hematuria and red cell casts a.Also known as active sediment b.Casts clumps of cells and/or protein molded by interior of tubules thus proves that blood originate in kidney and not elsewhere in urinary tract 2. Mild-moderate proteinuria 3. Hypertension 4. Azotemia a.Definition - Elevated BUN and Creatinine b.Moderate elevation in typical nephritic syndrome Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN) Clinical Rapid rise in creatinine over days or weeks RBCs and casts in urine sediment Signs and symptoms associated with acute renal failure (nausea, vomiting, oliguria) and if applicable, specific systemic disease Requires aggressive treatment, including immunosuppression NEPHROTIC SYNDROME 1. Edema 2. Proteinuria > 3gm/24 hours (N 150mg or, after exercise, 300mg) 3. Hypoalbuminemia 4. Hypercholesterolemia 5. Oval fat bodies in urine 6. Thrombosis risk Nephrotic Foot process alterations Nephritic Thrombosis and Inflammation Mechanisms of Immune Mediated Glomerulonephritis Antigen-antibody reactions 1. Deposition of circulating immune complexes Passively trapped. By EM either in mesangium, subendothelial or subepithelial. 2. In situ antigen-antibody combinations. Anti-GBM and foot process antibodies. Circulating antibody to GBM antigen fixes to native antigenic site within GBM. Anti-GBM and foot process antibodies. Circulating antibody to GBM antigen fixes to native antigenic site within GBM. 3. Planted antigens. Circulating antigens bind ot glomerular wall components. Subsequent antibody binding and/or complement fixation 1.Subepithelial 2.Epimembranous 3.Subendothelial 4.Mesangial 5.Intramembranous Immunofluorescence Microscopy In situ deposition Immune complex Fluorescent label Anti-human Ig monoclonal Patient Anti-GBM Antibody GBM Antigen (Collagen IV) Glomerular basement Membrane Glomerular loop as seen by microscopy (linear) Patient Immune complex antigen Glomerular loop As seen by microscopy (granular or lumpy) Patient Immune complex antibody Immune complex Acute Infection Related (Post Infectious or Post Streptococcal) Glomerulonephritis (AIRGN) Histologic. Diffuse proliferative GN; IFL Complement 3 (C3) and IgG, granular; EM subepithelial lumps Clinical Nephritic syndrome. Follows nephritogenic strep or other infection of any site, notoriously pharynx or skin. Usually recover. More common in developing countries Pathogenesis. In situ assembly of immune complexes based on plated bacterial antigens Normal Glomerulus Infection Related Glomerulonephritis Streptococcal Skin Lesion (Impetigo) Subepithelial Humps Immunofluorescence IgG AIRGN Coarse Granular Lumpy Bumpy Question 1 What is the characteristic immunoflurescent pattern of infection-related glomerulonephritis? Coarsely granular IgG deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Granular IgA deposition in the mesangium No immunofluorescent findings Finely granular IgM deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Linear IgG deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Question 1 What is the characteristic immunoflurescent pattern of infection-related glomerulonephritis? Coarsely granular IgG deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Granular IgA deposition in the mesangium No immunofluorescent findings Finely granular IgM deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Linear IgG deposition on the glomerular basement membrane Crescentic Glomerulonephritis Clinical manifestation is Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN) Signs and symptoms associated with renal failure and if applicable, specific systemic disease (Wegener-sinusitis, Goodpasture- hemoptysis, Lupus - rash, etc) Crescentic Glomeruolnephritis Three Subtypes of RPGN Type I In situ IgG deposition linear IgG by IF, because of even distribution of IgG along GBM Anti GBM antibodies by serology No abnormality by EM Anti GBM disease - Kidney only Goodpasture Kidney and lung renal failure and hemoptysis Type II Immune mediated Defined by underlying glomerular disease (e.g. rapidly progressive IgA nephropathy, AIRGN, lupus, MPGN, etc) RPGN Type I IgG-IF Linear Pattern Subtypes of RPGN Type III Pauci immune No immune deposits by EM, IF Most common type of RPGN Anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) by serology myeloperoxidaseANCA idiopathic, microscopic PAN proteinase 3 ANCA Wegener granulomatosis Mechanism ANCA encourages vascular destruction by PMN GBM destruction releases fibrin in urinary space Reactive proliferation by parietal epithelium p-ANCA c-ANCA (Myeloperoxidase) (Proteinase3) Question 2 The glomerular abnormality associated with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is referred to as Crescent Spikes Kimmelsteil-Wilson nodule Foot process effacement Fenestrated endothelium Question 2 The glomerular abnormality associated with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is referred to as Crescent Spikes Kimmelsteil-Wilson nodule Foot process effacement Fenestrated endothelium Membranous Nephropathy Normal Glomerulus Current Case for Comparison Silver Stain Basement Membrane Spikes IgG Immunofluorescence Membranous Glomerulopathy Pathology - Thick GBM (by LM); granular (by IFL); saw-toothed thickening with subepithelial spikes and dense deposits (by EM) Clinical Massive proteinuria, nephrotic +/ nephritic syndromes. PLA2R (50%) Idiopathic (30%) or secondary (20%, hepatitis B, cancer) Pathogenesis: Injury mediated by C5b-C9 membrane attack complex of complement Pathogenesis: Autoantibodies against podocyte cell membrane antigen M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R),Injury mediated by C5b-C9 membrane attack complex of complement Prognosis - May respond to steroids, immunosuppression Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Membranoproliferative Glomerulopathy Club shaped lobules, mesangial hypercellularity, excess mesangial matrix, double basement membranes (LM). Club shaped lobules, mesangial hypercellularity, excess mesangial matrix, double basement membranes (LM). Two principal types defined by EM: Type I - Immune Complex Mediated)-subendothelial deposits, IF -granular IgG, Early complement pathway - C 1q and C 4 Dense Deposit Disease/ C3 Glomerulopathy Rare. Clinical Primary or secondary, nephritic or nephrotic. Type I often hepatitis C related. Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Double Contour Basement Membrane Membranoproliferative GN Type I Double Contour Basement Membrane IgA Nephropathy IgA Nephropathy Berger Disease Defined by IgA in the mesangium. Light microscopy: assorted possibilities including mesangial lesions, crescentic, focal glomerulonephritis or sclerosis, normal or obsolete glomeruli. EM: electron dense deposits in the mesangium. IgA Nephropathy Berger Disease (continued) Clinical-. Gross or microscopic hematuria especially coincident with URI. Other: asymptomatic hematuria; proteinuria; nephrotic syndrome; fulminant renal failure, chronic renal failure. Related to Henoch-Schonlein-purpura (lower extremety purpuric rash, more severe renal disease) Most common primary glomerulonephritis in the world Course variable: benign to slow chronic renal failure Etiology related to abnormal glycosylation of hinge region of IgA molecule IgA Nephropathy Focal Glomerulonephritis IgA Nephropathy Mesangial Hypercellularity IgA IF Mesangial Pattern EM Mesangial Deposits Henoch Schoenlein Purpura IgA nephropathy with lower extremity purpura Renal disease often more severe Diagnosis of Glomerular Disease Nephrotic, nephritic, or RPGN does not identify the specific disease, only steers you in direction toward a glomerular differential Examples of isolated hematuria IgA, thin basement membrane disease Examples of nephritic presentation Post infectious, IgA, lupus Examples of nephrotic presentation Membranous, IgA, MPGN, lupus There can be overlap Bottom line Biopsy required for final diagnosis of many glomerular diseases Treatment depends on diagnosis of specific disease entity
