What is nephritis? - ANSWER - Inflammation within the kidney and is
often used interchangeably with glomerulonephritis
What are the 4 categories of nephritis commonly seen in hospitalized
pts? - ANSWER - Asymptomatic hematuria
Acute glomerulonephritis or post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN)
Rapidly progressing GN
Chronic GN
Patho: GN - ANSWER - Inflammatory process that occurs from the
deposit of immunoglobulins, complement, and cell-mediated immune
factors
This leads to injury and thus decreased GFR and decreased renal
function
GN presentation - ANSWER - -Hx of recent infection with strep usually
1-2 weeks prior
-Abrupt onset of hematuria, azotemia (Increased BUN and creatinine)
and HTN
pg. 1
,2|Page
(Hematuria is the major clinical feature and can be described as tea
color)
-Proteinuria
-Edema
-Oliguria
-HTN
GN: Dx - ANSWER - -UA will show protenuria and hematuria
-Urine culture
-CBC
-Coag studies
-CMP
-Complement levles (good to get bc if infection isn't the cause, it will
return to normal in 6-8 weeks)
What diagnostics should you get if you suspect GN caused by an
infection? - ANSWER - ASO titer
Anti-Dnase B Antinuclear Antibodies
Throat cultures
What diagnostics should you get if there is not a hx of recent infection? -
ANSWER - Complement levels
What would you suspect with a low complement level? - ANSWER -
immunologic problem
pg. 2

AKI presentation - ANSWER - Decreased appetite
Abdominal pain
Edema
Oliguria/anuria
Hematuria
Proteinuria

Evidence of volume depletion (dry mucous membranes, increased HR)
AKI diagnostics - ANSWER - BUN/cr ratio
Creatinine clearance
UA
Electrolytes
Plasma and urine Na and Creatinine
Fractional excretion of sodium
Renal US
What further diagnostics would you get if you were concerned about an
intrinsic cause? - ANSWER - CBC
Renal biopsy
Complement levels
ASO titer
pg. 4
