Kidney Glomerular Disease Glomerular diseases include many conditions with a variety of genetic and environmental causes. Glomerular Disease What is glomerular disease? Many diseases affect kidney function by attacking 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 describes the inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood. Glomerulosclerosis 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 What are the symptoms of glomerular disease? The signs and symptoms of glomerular disease include: Proteinuria -Large amounts of protein in the urine. (Proteinuria may cause foamy urine.) Hematuria- Blood in the urine (Blood may cause the urine to be pink or brownish.) Reduced Glomerular Filtration Rate-Inefficient filtering of wastes from the blood.

The Center for Glomerular Diseases at Columbia University was organized to foster the advancement and study of glomerular diseases of the kidney. It is a collaborative effort of members of the Divisions of Nephrology and Renal Pathology at Columbia University and is based at the Presbyterian Division of the New York Presbyterian Hospital. Through the Center members collaborate in clinical and laboratory research, in clinical studies designed to treat glomerular kidney diseases, and educational activities. Currently over 1800 renal biopsies are processed annually by the Renal Pathology Division. This provides a large resource for defining new diseases of the kidney and studying the relationships between renal histopathology and the clinical features, course, and outcome of the patients. Basic research in the development of the glomerular filters has been a priority of the research laboratories in the Renal Division at Columbia University. Clinical trials are underway to study most major glomerular diseases including focal glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, and many patterns of lupus nephritis. Educational activities include the publication of many scientific articles each year. Annually the Renal Pathology Department and Renal Division conduct a four day course dealing with Renal Biopsy and Medical Diseases of the Kidney.

Although glomerulonephritis and glomerulosclerosis have different causes, they can both lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). 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. Blood enters the kidneys through arteries that branch inside the kidneys into tiny clusters of looping blood vessels. Each cluster is called a

CONTACT US The Glomerular Disease Collaborative Network (GDCN) was established as a collaborative effort between private practice community nephrology offices and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine to seek the best possible treatment alternatives for patients with various glomerular diseases. The co-founders and co-directors of the Network are Dr. Ronald J. Falk , Chief of the Division of Nephrology and Professor of Medicine, and Dr. J. Charles Jennette , Director of the Nephropathology Laboratory and Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pathology, both at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While the Network was started in 1985 as a group of only 15 nephrologists in North Carolina, it has since grown to include over 400 nephrologists throughout North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Washington and Minnesota. The Network has also vastly expanded the development and management of its clinical trials as well as sixteen large patient registries which follow the course of several different kidney diseases. In addition, a yearly meeting is held for the Network as a whole, functioning not only as a source for continuing education, but also as a consultation center for the participating physicians.

RECURRENT GLOMERULAR DISEASE Many primary glomerular diseases can recur in the allograft. Before making such a diagnosis, it is necessary to exclude donor transmitted disease, and glomerular pathology developing de novo after transplantation. The incidence and severity of disease recurrence varies with the native disease. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) recurs in 30 to 50% of cases. Clinical onset of proteinuria is usually within the first few months of transplantation, and in some cases, within a few days of surgery, suggesting the involvement of a circulating factor in the pathogenesis of this disease. Graft loss occurs at a variable rate, and may be as early as within a year of diagnosis. Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) recurs in 25 to 50% of patients, typically a year or more after transplantation. It is associated with gradual graft loss occurring over 2-7 years. The occurrence of denovo MGN after renal transplantation should prompt investigations for Hepatitis B and C infection. A history of horse anti-thymocyte globulin therapy can be elicited in some patients. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 1 reportedly recurs in 30 to 40% of renal allografts. The recurrence may be asymptomatic in up to 30% of individuals, but typically leads to slowly progressive graft loss. Recurrent MPGN type 2 (dense deposit disease) has a 90% incidence of recurrence ultrastructurally: immune complex deposits can be seen in the GBM lamina densa within 6-9 months of transplantation. Approximately 30-40% of patients remain clinically asymptomatic. The remainder show 40-50% graft loss within 2 years. The light microscopic appearance in MPGN type 2 is indistinguishable from MPGN type 1.

Hereditary Glomerular Diseases Dr. C. Stewart Hereditary Nephritis (Alport’s syndrome) Clinical Features A genetic disease characterized by the onset of hematuria in early childhood and later progression to renal failure, predominantely in males, accompanied by the development of sensorineural (high frequency) hearing loss. A typical male patient presents with the onset of persistent gross or microscopic hematuria, sometimes exacerbated by upper respiratory illness, before the age of six. After years of recurrent or persistent hematuria, renal insufficiency is noted to occur, usually in the third or forth decade of life, occasionally before the age of twenty. Nephrotic syndrome may occurs in 30 – 40% of patients. Hearing loss is variable, ranging from complete deafness to (more frequently) a high-frequency loss detected by audiometric exam. Associated abnormalities may include megalocornea, lenticlonus, spherophakia, myopia, retinitis pigmentosa, and macrothrombocytopenia. In females, the disorder is usually mild, with only microscopic hematuria, and does not typically progress to renal failure. In one series, 74% of patients were less than six years of age at presentation.
