ANA, Anti DNA

ANCA (p, c)
HCV Antibody HBsAg
HIV
RF
Cryoglobulin
Anti-basement Membrane Antibody (With lung hemorrhage)
Acute postinfection Glomerulonephritis
Often associated with group A
B-hemolytic streptococcal type 12 infection
Abrupt onset 10-12 days after strept throat or 14-21
skin infection (impetigo)
Also staphylococcus or viruses
Acute Glomerulonephritis
Symptoms occur 10-21 days after infection
Hematuria
Proteinuria
Decreased GFR, oliguria
Hypertension
Edema around eyes, feet and ankles
Ascites or pleural effusion
Low C3, normal C4, Antistreptolysin O (ASO)
– Kidney biopsy immune complexes and proliferation,
Proliferative GN- poststretococcal
This glomerulus is hypercellular and capillary loops are poorly defined.
This is a type of proliferative glomerulonephritis known as poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Poststreptococcal GN
Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is immunologically mediated, and the
immune deposits are distributed in the capillary loops in a granular, bumpy
pattern because of the focal nature of the deposition process.
Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
CONSERATIVE TREATMENT (acute kidney
injury)
Improves 1-4 weeks, C3 normalizes in 1-3 months,
hypertension improves 1-3 months, intermittent
hematuria x 3 years
99% complete recovery in children and 85% in
adult
IgA Nephropathy (Berger's Disease)







Most common acute glomerulonephritis in US ;South East Asia
Associated with H.S. Purpura
Upper respiratory(50%) IN 1—2 Day(Synpharyngitic hematuria)
Primary versus secondary (IBD, Liver Disease, SLE, vasculitis)
50% risk of CRF
Proteinuria, hypertension, renal insufficiency predict worse prognosis
50% increased IgA, normal compliments
TREATEMENT COSERVATIVE; ACEI
HIGH RISK: patient prednisone & alkylating agent
(cyclophosphamide-azothroprim) &ASA&ACEI&tosilectomy
Rapidly Progressive GN
Develops over a period of days or weeks
Primarily adults in 50’s and 60’s
Progresses to renal failure in a few weeks or months
Hematuria is common, may see proteinuria, edema or
hypertension
Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic)
Glomerulonephritis
Morphology
crescent formation
crescents are formed by proliferation of parietal cells
infiltrates of WBC’s & fibrin deposition in Bowman’s
space
EM reveals focal ruptures in the GBM
MICROSCOPIC POLYANGITIS
Necrotizing vasculitis of small- and medium- sized
vessels in both the arterial and venous circulations
Frequently involves the lung and the kidneys with
typical
complications
of
hemorrhage
and
glomerulonephritis
Associated with ANCA in three-fourths of all cases,
usually anti-myeloperoxidase antibodies (MPO-ANCA)
that cause a P-ANCA pattern on immuno-flourescence
testing. ANCA directedf againsts proteinae-3 (PR3ANCA) can also be observed in microscopic polyangiitis
Treatment
Initial Therapy
Combination cyclophosphamide-corticosteroid
therapy
A slow steroid taper, with the goal of reaching
20 mg of prednisone per day by the end of
two months and an overall glucocorticoid
course of between 6 and 9 months.
Either daily oral or monthly intravenous
cyclophosphamide.
Treatment
Plasmapheresis
Severe manifestations of pulmonary hemorrhage
on presentation.
Dialysis-dependent renal failure upon
presentation.
Concurrent anti-GBM antibodies.
Goodpasture Syndrome




Antibody formation against pulmonary and glomerular
capillary basement membranes
Damage glomerular basement membrane
Men 20 - 30 years of age
Pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure
TREATMENT:
Early treatment is essential
Pulse Steroid (10 mg/ kg/day for 3-5 days)
Cyclophosphamide
Plasmaphorisis
Goodpasture’s syndrome
This immunofluorescence micrograph shows positivity with antibody to IgG
has a smooth, diffuse, linear pattern that is characteristic for glomerular
basement membrane antibody with Goodpasture's syndrome.
