3 Glomerular diseases may be classified as: Primary renal disease vs. renal manifestation of a systemic disease (i.e. secondary) Immune vs. non-immune mechanism mediated Proliferative vs. non-proliferative glomerular pathology Different pathatological entities Clinical syndromes Isolated hematuria, nephrotic sy., nephritic sy., RPGN Acute, subacute, chronic, acute-on-chronic
4 Immune mechanisms in glomerular diseases Antibody against a local antigen Podocyte antigen (membranous GN: phospolipase A2 receptor) Glomerular basement menbrane antigen (Goodpasture s) planted antigen (e.g. in membranous SLE) Deposition of circulating immune complexes with inflammation E.g. IgA nephropathy, cryoglobuliemia, SLE Without immune complexes ( pauci immun ), but with immune mechanism ANCA associated diseases
5 Mechanisms of glomerular injury (bases for the pathological classification) Non-inflammatory (nonproliferative) glomerulopathy Podocyta damage Subepithelial immune complexes Inflammatory (proliferative) GN Endothel (postinfectious GN) Mesangial proliferative (IgA nephropathy) Parietal epithelial cell proliferation ( crescents) Membranoprolierative GN
6 Clinical approach to glomerular diseases Clinical syndrome Pathology Etiology Nephrotic Non-proliferative Primary nephritic Proliferative Neoplasia RPGN Acute renal failure sy Isolated proteinuria isolated hematuria Autoimmune Vasculitis drugs Infection
7 Nephrotic syndrome Proteinuria (usually>2-3 g/die) Hypalbuminemia Oedema Hyperlipoproteinemia Increased risk of thrombosis GFR may be norm.
8 Most frequent pathology behind the nephrotic syndrome in adults Primary renal disease Minimal change glomerulopathy Focal segmental GN Membranous glomerulopathy Fibrillary (immunotactoid) GN Systemic disease Diabetes Amyolidosis SLE (type V)
9 Frequent complications of nephrotic syndrome Thrombosis (renal vein, deep venous) Frequent infections Acute prerenal renal failure Heavy proteinuria in itself contributes to the progression of renal disease Accelerated atherosclerosis (?)
10 Management of nephrotic syndrome supportive management diuretics: Furosemide - ACE inhibitors/ ARBs Furosemide + thiazide Furosemide + spironolactone - Thrombosis profilaxis: heparin, oral anticoagulation (if albumuin <20-25 g/l) - Statins specific treatment: depends on pathology and ethiology (e.g. immunsuppression)
11 Acute glomerulonephritis (nephritic) syndrome Hematuria (dysmorphic RBCs, acanthocytes) Proteinuria Cylindruria (cellular, RBCcasts) Hypertension Oedema Oliguria Decreased GFR
12
13 Frequent pathologies behind the acute nephritic syndrome (but may present in other syndromes as well) Post-streptococcal GN acute diffuse proliferative endocapillary proliferative IgA nephropathy Mesangial proliferative Membranoproliferative GN SLE: focal vs. diffuse proliferative GN (types II-IV)
14 Alport syndrome Isolated hematuria syndrome persistent microhematuria dysmorphic RBCs, acanthocytes Variable proteinuria (from minimal to nephrotic range) Variable decrease in GFR Glomerular causes (non glomerular causes stone neoplasm, papillary necrosis etc. should be excluded) Thin basement membrane disease IgA nephropathy
15 Rapidly progressive GN syndrome (crescentic GN) Progressive loss of GFR (weeks, months) Active urinary sediment RBCs, cellular and granular casts Variable proteinuria Frequent systemic symptoms vasculitis upper-lower airway Pulmonary (bleeding) Arthritis fever
16 Causes of rapidly progressive GN syndrome I. Anti-GBM antibodies (linear deposition on immunfluorescence) Goodpasture syndr., II. Immune complex mediated GN (granular deposition on IF) Primary GN: IgA GN, Membranoproliferative GN Postinfectios: sepsis, abscess, endocarditis, HBV, Autoimmune: SLE III. ANCA associated GN (no immune deposition = pauci immune) Wegener s granulomatosis Microscopic polyangiitis Churg Strauss syndr
17 Clinical approach to glomerular diseases Clinical syndrome Pathology Etiology Nephrotic Non-proliferative Primary nephritic Proliferative Neoplasia RPGN Acute renal failure sy Isolated proteinuria isolated hematuria Autoimmune Vasculitis drugs Infection
18 Mechanisms of glomerular injury (bases for the pathological classification) Non-inflammatory (nonproliferative) glomerulopathy Podocyte damage Subepithelial immune complexes Inflammatory (proliferative) GN Endothel (postinfectious GN) Mesangial proliferative (IgA nephropathy) Parietal epithelial cell proliferation ( crescents, extracapillary) Membranoprolierative GN
19 Clinical diagnosis Syndrome Morphological diagnosis Etiological diagnosis Acute nephritis sy. Nephrotic sy. Isolated proteinuria, haematuria sy. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis Chronic renal failure sy. Acute renal failure sy. Postinfect. GN Minimal change Focal segmental GS Membranous GN Membranoprolif.
