Normal
as:

ascorbic acid

Alport Syndrome
single
Membranoproliferative GN
- Most common cause of chronic
glomerulonephritis in older children &
young adults.
Diagnosis made by renal biopsy
Presents with proteinuria
50% progress to ESRD
Low C3
Lupus Nephritis
Presents
Lupus Nephritis
May
of circulating antinuclear
antibodies
confirmed by demonstrating Ab that react w/
double stranded DNA
C3
HSP Nephritis
Small
vessel vasculitis
criteria:
palpable purpuric rash arthritis
abdominal pain
glomerulonephritis
typically appear 1-3 wks after an URTI
Renal manifestations occur up to 12 wks
after the initial presentation of HSP
Prognosis: favorable w/ CKD risk at 2-5%
Supportive care
attention to fluid & electrolytes
control of hypertension
aggressive nutrition
early institution of dialysis
Rapidly Progressive GN
Rapid
progression to ESRD
Histopathology: crescents
Goodpasture Disease
Characteristics:
- pulmonary hemorrhage
- GN assoc w/ antibodies directed
against epitopes of type IV collagen
w/in the alveolar basement
membrane of the lungs & GBM
NB & infants:
asphyxia
dehydration
shock
sepsis
congenital hypercoagulable
states
infants born to mother w/ DM
older children:
nephrotic syndrome
cyanotic heart disease
inherited hypercoagulable states
exposure to angiographic
contrast agents
Ultrasound
Doppler
treatment:
supportive care: correction of fluid &
electrolyte imbalance
treatment of renal insufficiency
Treatment w/ anticoagulation &
thrombotic agents is controversial
Cell Nephropathy
- results from microthrombosis 2 to
sickling in the relatively hypoxic,
acidic, hypertonic medulla where
vascular stasis is present
- addnl symptoms: polyuria, RTA
and proteinuria
Anatomic Abnormalities
associated with hematuria
ARPKD:
Anatomic Abnormalities
Associated w/ Hematuria

Drugs: Cyclophosphamide
Heavy
Proteinuria
Proteinuria: Screening
1. Urine dipstick test sensitive to
albumin
- negative
- trace (10-20 mg/dL)
- 1 + (30 mg/dL)
- 2+ (100 mg/dL)
- 3+ (300 mg/dL)
- 4+ (1000-2000 mg/dL)
Proteinuria
2. Quantification:
- 24-hr Urine CHON excretion
detects all kinds of protein including
globulin & low molecular wt protein
- Random Urine Chon/Crea ratio
fairly accurate measure of total daily CHON
excretion
Proteinuria
Normal:
<4mg/m2/hr
Abnormal excretion: 4-40 mg/m2/hr
Nephrotic range: >40 mg/m2/hr
Proteinuria
False
(-):
