42. CIN'2003. Wedeen. Occupational Renal Diseases The contribution of environmental toxin exposure to the development of lupus erythematosus and glomerular diseases remains to be determined. http://www.uninet.edu/cin2003/conf/wedeen/wedeen.html

Wedeen, M.D. Veterans Health Administration New Jersey Health Care System East Orange, New Jersey. USA wedeen@umdnj.edu Occupational renal diseases are important because they are entirely preventable. In addition, renal disease produced by heavy exposure to industrial toxins by relatively few workers provides a clinical basis for understanding the consequences of low-dose exposure to the general population from environmental pollution. The known toxins that produce kidney disease in the workplace are limited to the heavy metals plus silica and certain organic compounds, particularly halogenated hydrocarbons, employed as industrial solvents. The absence of information on the adverse renal effects of other industrial pollutants does not prove that no such effects occur, but rather that epidemiologic studies are lacking. It is probable that as the genetic basis of individual susceptibility unfolds, the contribution of toxins to renal disease in the general population will become clearer. The renal diseases due to heavy metals are listed in the Table. Lead, cadmium, mercury arsenic, chromium, and uranium are widely recognized as nephrotoxins in humans. Given appropriate chemical forms, dosage, and route of administration, acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is consistently produced by these metals. ATN occurs because of the selective accumulation of metals in the proximal tubule. When the appropriate oxidative form is present in sufficient quantity, the metals induce irreversible cellular injury. Following intense occupational exposure, and in animal experiments, the cause of ATN is obvious. When recovery is incomplete, chronic tubular-interstitial nephritis (TIN) may persist as a residual. On the other hand, the role of heavy metals in the induction of immunologically mediated glomerular disease is by no means obvious.

About the HKMJ Subscriptions Reprints Search past issues Clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with glomerular diseases at a university teaching hospital: 5-year prospective review KW Chan, TM Chan, IKP Cheng Department of Pathology, The University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital, Pokfulam, Hong Kong OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of glomerular disease in Hong Kong. DESIGN: Prospective review. SETTING: University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS: All patients who presented with suspected glomerular disease from 1993 through 1997. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Histopathological diagnosis from biopsy examination and clinical features of presentation. RESULTS: A total of 1629 consecutive percutaneous renal biopsies of native kidneys showed glomerular disease in 1413 cases. The most common clinical indication for renal biopsy was persistent proteinuria (n=735; 52.0%), while the most frequently found glomerular lesion was immunoglobulin A nephropathy (n=338; 23.9%). Minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (n=125; 8.8%) and immunoglobulin M nephropathy (n=11; 0.8%), were the most common glomerular diseases that presented with nephrotic syndrome. The male to female ratio for lupus nephritis was 1:14 (n=290), whereas for minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, the ratio was 1.8:1 (n=125). Immunoglobulin A nephropathy and membranous glomerulonephritis (n=117) affected approximately equal numbers of male and female patients. Familial fibrillary glomerulonephritis, a disease hitherto unknown in Hong Kong, was diagnosed in two siblings.

58. Berger Disease - Medstudents - Neprhology are increased in the serum of 5095% of patients, and its measurement is extremely useful in differentiating IgA nephropathy from other glomerular diseases. http://www.medstudents.com.br/nefro/nefro2.htm

Nephrology Bernardo Boaventura Liberato Medstudents' Homepage Berger Disease Also known as primary IgA nephropathy, glomerulonephritis with IgA and IgG deposits and IgA mesangial nephropathy, Berger disease has a wide pattern of distribution and is believed to be the most common form of primary glomerular disease throughout the world. Although highly prevalent, geographic variations occur, which could be due to genetic as well as enviromental influences. Extensive mesangial IgA deposits (the characteristic pathologic feature of Berger disease), may also occur in a variety of multisystem, neoplastic and infectious diseases; when this occurs the term Secondary IgA Nephropathy should be applied. Examples of the most common causes are: Multisystem disease Schönlein-Henoch purpura Celiac Disease Dermatitis Herpetiformis Crohn Disease Neoplasia Carcinoma of lungs, larynx, pharynx and pancreas Infection Leprosy Toxoplasmosis HIV infection Others Chronic liver disease Portosystemic shunts In spite of the extremely varied clinical presentation, the most common feature leading to the diagnosis, by renal biopsy, is recurring episodes of macroscopic hematuria (which is generally the initial complaint). More than 80% of patients are between the ages of 16 to 35 years at the time of diagnosis. However, the disorder may be found at any age, although being uncommon before the age of 10 and after the age of 50. Thus, it should be considered a disease of children and young adults. There is a predilection for males (2:1), which disappears when affecting black persons (this disease is uncommon in blacks).
