The categories include those diseases that cause primarily proteinuric conditions, either asymptomatic proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome; and those that cause either asymptomatic hematuria or nephritic syndrome with hematuria, proteinuria, renal insufficiency and/or hypertension. Nephritis can manifest as an acute, sometimes self-limited process, as a more chronic process with indolent progression of disease, or as a rapidly progressive process, which manifests often times structurally with substantial crescent formation. Any of the glomerular diseases that progress to severe chronic injury can result in end stage renal disease.

For More Information Many diseases affect kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerular diseases include many conditions with a variety of genetic and environmental causes, but they fall into two major categories: Glomerulonephritis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-neh-FRY-tis) describes the inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood. Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) describes the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney. Although glomerulonephritis and glomerulosclerosis have different causes, they can both lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Top What are the kidneys and what do they do? The two kidneys are bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage to the left and right of the spine. Each about the size of a fist, these organs act as sophisticated filters for the body. They process about 400 quarts of blood a day to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water that eventually leave the body as urine.

4. GLOMERULAR DISEASES () http://umed.med.utah.edu/ms2/renal/Word files/n) Glomerular Diseases.htm

GLOMERULAR DISEASES Wayne A. Border, M.D. Most glomerular diseases are capable of producing similar clinical findings. Historically, patients who had the acute onset of hematuria, proteinuria and renal failure were said to have the nephritic syndrome or glomerulonephritis. Patients who had a more insidious onset in which proteinuria leading to hypoalbuminemia and edema was the principal finding were said to have nephrosis or the nephrotic syndrome or glomerulopathy. Today the use of renal biopsy allows glomerular diseases to be described as distinct entities defined by a combination of associated functional, histologic, immunologic and etiologic factors. For each glomerular disease there is a body of knowledge about pathogenesis, natural history, prognosis and response to treatment. Clinical Manifestations of Glomerular Injury Red and white cells and cellular casts in the urine, proteinuria, and renal failure are three principal findings in glomerulonephritis. Abnormalities in urinalysis and proteinuria are present in most cases but the severity of proteinuria and renal failure varies from patient to patient as well as with the type of glomerulonephritis. Cellular casts only arise within renal tubules and can be found in either glomerulonephritis or interstitial nephritis.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GLOMERULAR DISEASES About Us Patient Resources Professional Resources Support Us ... Corporate Sponsors WHAT ARE THE GLOMERULI AND WHAT DO THEY DO? The glomeruli are clusters of blood vessels inside the kidney that help to clean waste and extra water from your body. The glomeruli are attached to small fluid-collecting tubes called tubules . Together, the glomeruli-and-tubules form nephrons. Each kidney has about 1 million nephrons. In healthy nephrons, the glomeruli filter out wastes and extra water, and keep blood cells and protein in the body. HOW DO GLOMERULAR DISEASES HURT YOUR KIDNEYS? Glomerular diseases damage the glomeruli, letting protein and red blood cells leak out of your body. Sometimes a glomerular disease makes it hard for your body to clean out wastes, so the wastes begin to build up in the blood. Also, the diseases make it hard for your body to get rid of extra water, meaning that fluids may begin to collect in the face, hands, feet, or ankles and cause swelling.

Who is at risk? What are the causes of kidney failure in children? What are the treatments for kidney failure? ... For More Information What are the kidneys, and what do they do? The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. When blood flows through the kidneys, waste products and extra water are removed from the blood and sent to the bladder as urine. The kidneys also regulate blood pressure, balance chemicals like sodium and potassium, and make hormones to help bones grow and keep the blood healthy by making new red blood cells. Who is at risk? In the general population, slightly more than 30 people in every 100,000 develop kidney failure each year. In the pediatric populationage 19 and underthe annual rate is only 1 or 2 new cases in every 100,000 children. In other words, adults are about 20 times more likely to develop kidney failure than children. The risk increases steadily with age. African Americans in their late teens are three times more likely than whites in the same age group to develop kidney failure. Diseases that damage the tiny blood vessels in the kidney are also more common in children of color. Moreover, boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to develop kidney failure from birth defects, polycystic kidney disease, or other hereditary diseases.

Glomerular Diseases Topics [General] Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome [General] Glomerular diseases (glomerulopathies): Diverse disease processes that mainly affect the glomerulus and include, but are not limited to, glomerulonephritis. Glomerular diseases may be primary or secondary to systemic disease. The major pathogenic categories are inflammatory (nephritic syndrome) and hemodynamic (nephrotic syndrome). Acute nephritic syndrome is used synonymously with acute glomerulonephritis (GN). The prototype is poststreptococcal GN. Chronic nephritic disorders also exist (eg, chronic nephritic-proteinuric syndrome). Nephrotic syndrome is a grouping of symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings due to increased glomerular capillary wall permeability. Many renal diseases can cause nephrotic syndrome, and nephritic and nephrotic syndromes can occur together. Structural, functional, and clinical similarities exist within each group because of the few ways that renal tissue responds to injury and the symptoms and signs that renal disease can produce. Although pathologic differences may provide an understanding of glomerular diseases, correlations between morphologic changes and clinical features are unreliable predictors of prognosis and response to treatment. In some patients with glomerular disease, extrarenal manifestations suggest a causative disease (eg, systemic vasculitis, infection). Serologic markers, such as antistreptococcal antibodies, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA), antinuclear antibodies, cryoglobulins, C3 nephritic factor, hypocomplementemia, or IgA-fibronectin aggregations, suggest a specific glomerular disease or at least help narrow the differential diagnosis (see

GLOMERULAR DISEASES CASE 1 A 37 year old bank clerk consulted his physician one Wednesday on account of ankle swelling and puffy eyes. He had put on 20-30 lbs over the preceding few weeks. He was started on a diuretic and admission was arranged for early the following week but on Sunday night he was admitted as an emergency because of nocturnal dyspnea. Spun deposit - numerous oval fat bodies, granular and hyaline casts, some with fatty inclusions. Occ RBCs and RTECS (renal tubular epithelial cells). Labs: Na 132, K 3.l, Cl 92, HCO 31 mEq/L, BUN 34, creatinine 2.l mg/100 ml. Fasting glucose 68 mg/100 ml, albumin l.2 g/dl ANA negative. CH50 75 units (normal complement levels). Urine protein 18 g/24 h. Creatinine clearance 62 ml/min. I.V.P. Both kidneys are large, but no abnormalities were seen. A renal biopsy was performed and, based on the results, prednisone 60 mg on alternate days was administered, together with an increased dose of diuretics. One month later, his edema had subsided appreciably: creatinine clearance was 68 ml/min and 24 h protein excretion was 11 g/day. Glycosuria was now present and plasma K had fallen to 2.4 mEq/L.
