Diseases and Conditions Articles : Kidney/Glomerular Diseases Glomerular Diseases 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: Kidney Stones in Adults Kidney stones, one of the most painful of the urologic disorders, are not a product of modern life. Scientists have found evidence of kidney stones in a 7,000-year-old Egyptian mummy. Unfortunately, kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the urinary tract; patients made more than 1.3 million visits to health care providers to have their stones treated in 1997. In 1999, more than a quarter million hospitalized patients had a diagnosis of kidney stones. An estimated 10 percent of people in the United States will have a kidney stone at some point in their lives. Men tend to be affected more frequently than women. Your Kidneys and How They Work Your two kidneys are vital organs that perform many functions to keep your blood clean and chemically balanced. Understanding how your kidneys work can help you to keep them healthy.

Extractions: 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.

In two-thirds of these patients ESRD resulted from a glomerular disease. The major clinical manifestations of glomerular injury include proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, and lipiduria. Glomerular injury is usually acquired but in rare cases may have a congenital (hereditary) etiology. Acquired glomerular disease may develop in the kidney (primary renal disease) or as a secondary manifestation of a systemic disease such as lupus erythematosus (secondary renal disease).

Body System The Urinary System Glomerular Diseases Clinical features Diagnosis Management Prognosis The term glomerulonephritis signifies glomerular inflammation (not infection) and can be considered as primary when the major problem appears to start in the glomerulus and secondary when involvement is part of a systemic disease. Examples of systemic disease that may cause glomerulonephritis are systemic lupus erythematosus (due to deposition of immune complexes containing DNA and anti-DNA antibodies), diabetes mellitus (due to widespread microangiopathy), chronic infections (malaria, hepatitis B, Syphilis) or certain tumours (presumably tumour antigen-antibody complexes). The introduction of percutaneous renal biopsy provided a detailed histogical classification which has further expanded following development of immuno-histological techniques (e.g., direct immunoflulorescence) and electron microscopy. It is now recognised that there is poor correlation between the clinical presentation and the histological appearance and only a few patients can be diagnosed accurately on clinical presentation. Glomerulonephritis may be classified according to pathologic changes observed on light and electron microscopy into three main groups: Minimal change glomerulopathy (no significant histolgical abnormalities present) Proliferative glomerulonephritis (proliferation of various type of cells effectively compressing the glomerular capillaries)
