Case report 1
 18 yr old man
 Bilateral loin pain
 Macroscopic haematuria
 Sore throat started one day earlier
 BP 140/90; euvolaemic
 Creatinine 120 μmol/l
 Proteinuria and haematuria on dipstix
Case 1: indicative answers
IgA Disease
Renal failure, proteinuria, haematuria,
oedema, hypertension, oliguria, loin pain
All except oedema and oliguria
Mesangial IgA disease
 Classical Berger’s
Disease
 Microscopic haematuria
 Proteinuria (rarely
nephrotic)
 Hypertension
 Chronic renal failure
 ? Failure of hepatic
clearance of IgA
 Association with GI
disease
 No specific treatment
Ig A Nephropathy
 Ig A nephropathy is the most common primary
GN worldwide
 Usually present with hematuria
 Episodes of gross hematuria are precipitated by
flu like illness, exercise
 Urinary protein excretion usually non-nephrotic
 Associated with chronic liver ds, psoriasis, IBD
and HIV disease.
Ig A Nephropathy
Only 30% of patients with IgA
nephropathy has progressive disease.
In progressive disease, use of fish oil may
be beneficial.
Immunosuppressive therapy in patients
with Ig A nephropathy has not consistently
shown to be of benefit
Case Report 2
20 yr old lady
Completely well
Haematuria on dipstix
No proteinuria
Normotensive
Case 2: indicative answers
Exclude menstruation!
Thin membrane disease (possibly IgA
disease)
Commonest cause of isolated microscopic
haematuria in this age group.
At this age, urological cause unlikely; nil
to suggest infection / urolithiasis
Thin membrane disease
 Most common GN
 Microscopic haematuria
 Familial
 Benign
 No treatment needed
 Most young people with
isolated microscopic
haematuria have thin
membrane disease
Case Report 3
12 year old boy
Impetigo two weeks earlier
Headache
Oliguric
Frothy dark coloured urine
Hypertensive
Case 3: indicative answers
Acute nephritic syndrome
Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Diffuse proliferative endocapillary
glomerulonephritis
Due to salt and water retention, so salt
restriction or loop diuretic
Acute Post-Infectious GN
 Usually occur in children
 Post-streptococcal GN is the most common cause of
post infectious GN
 Occurs after a streptococcal sore throat or impetigo
 Caused by Group A, beta-hemolytic streptococci,
particularly nephritogenic strains – Type 1,4,12
(throat) and 2,49(skin)
Acute Post-Infectious GN
Acute onset of gross hematuria (COLA
COLORED) or microscopic hematuria
after latent period of 10-14 days.
Edema/hypertension
RBC casts on U/A
Elevated creatinine, increased ASO titer
Decreased complement level
Acute Post-Infectious GN
LM – Diffuse proliferative and exudative
GN
IF – IgG and C3 “lumpy, bumpy”
EM – Sub epithelial “Hump” or “Flame”
like deposits
Diffuse Endocapillary Proliferative GN
(Post Streptococcal GN)
 Diffuse endocapillary
proliferative GN
 Post infectious; usually
Gp A Strep
 Acute nephritic syndrome
 Uraemia rare
 Self-limited; rarely death
from BP
 Abnormal RUA for up to
2 yrs
 Circulating immune
complex mediated
Acute Post-Infectious GN
Renal biopsy is generally not required.
Treatment is supportive and consist of
sodium restriction, control of BP and
dialysis if this become necessary.
Complications of the Nephritic Syndrome
Hypertensive encephalopathy (seizures, coma)
Heart Failure (pulmonary oedema)
Uraemia requiring dialysis
Prognosis in the Nephritic Syndrome
 More than 95% of children make a complete recovery
 Chronic renal impairment in the longer term is uncommon in
children
 Bad prognostic features include severe renal impairment at
presentation and continuing heavy proteinuria and
hypertension
 Adults more likely to have long term sequellae than children
Case report 4
 15 yr old girl
 3/12 ankle swelling; face and fingers
swollen in the am
 BP 130/80; JVP normal; Leg oedema
 Creatinine 54 μmol/l
 Cr Cl 140 ml/min
 Albumin 18 g/l
 24 hr u.protein 10 g
Case 4: indicative answers
Minimal change – focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis spectrum
Very nephrotic
Age and borderline BP make FSGS more
likely than MCN
Effect of loss of colloid osmotic pressure
gradient across glomerulus causing
hyperfiltration
Case Report 5
 30year old man,diabetic
 Known hypertensive
 Ankle oedema
 Dipstix: ++++ proteinuria
 Creatinine 124 μmol/l (80 – 120)
 Albumin 30 g/l (36 – 45)
Case 5: indicative answers
Nephrotic syndrome secondary to diabetes
/ membranous disease
Refer urgently to nephrology
Diabetic glomerulosclerosis
 Retinopathy
 Hypertension
 Microalbuminuria
 Nephrotic syndrome
 Renal failure –
usually progressive
 Poor prognosis on
RRT
What we’d like!
 Demography including tel no and occupation
 Reason for referral: presenting complaint,
expectations
 Co-morbidities, incl other diagnoses, smoking,
alcohol and BMI, social care needs
 Examination
 Medications (incl recently stopped), allergies etc
 Treatment and investigations to date
 Special requirements (eg interpreter)
Case Report 6
50 year old obese man
Hypertension 10 years
NIDDM 3 years
No retinopathy
Creatinine 124 μmol/l
24 hr urine protein 2 g
HbA1 9.6%
Case 6: indicative answers
 Obesity-related FSGS more likely than diabetic
nephropathy (duration diabetes, absence of
retinopathy)
 Worsening nephrotic syndrome and progressive renal
failure; Death from cardiovascular cause before
reaches ESRF
 Stop smoking, lose weight, improve glycaemic control,
regular exercise, healthy diet, moderate alcohol in that
order
Case 6: indicative answers contd
 Lack of ownership of responsibility for own health
 Withdrawal symptoms (smoking)
 Denial of calorie intake
 Difficulty exercising due to immobility
 No!
– Problems with MDRD equation
– No evidence of benefit of ACE inhibitors in absence proteinuria
– Dangers of ACE inhibitors in patients with angioneurotic
oedema, hypotension or bilateral renal artery stenosis
Lessons
Not all abnormal urinalysis is a UTI
Acute pyelonephritis is very rarely bilateral
Haematuria
Urologist or Nephrologist?
 Age
 Other features –
proteinuria etc
 Urine microscopy for
casts
 Phase contrast
microscopy
Non-dysmorphic vs dysmorphic
RBC Cast
AntiGBM disease
 RPGN + Lung
haemorrhage
 Destructive process –
medical emergency!
 Antibody-mediated
 One hit
 High dose
immunosuppression
 Plasma exchange

Whoopee! It’s .........
