A detailed discussion about the kidneys and how glomerular diseases interfere with their functions .Category Health Conditions and Diseases Glomerular...... How Do glomerular diseases Interfere With Kidney Function? What Causes GlomerularDisease? A number of different diseases can result in glomerular disease.
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/kidney/pubs/glomer/glomer.htm

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:
  • Glomerulonephritis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-neh-FRY-tis) describes the inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood.
    Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) 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 (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

The list above represents a number of clinical presentations for glomerular diseases. The categories include those diseases that cause primarily proteinuric conditions, either asymptomatic proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome; and those that cause either asymptomatic hematuria or nephritic syndrome with hematuria, proteinuria, renal insufficiency and/or hypertension. Nephritis can manifest as an acute, sometimes self-limited process, as a more chronic process with indolent progression of disease, or as a rapidly progressive process, which manifests often times structurally with substantial crescent formation. Any of the glomerular diseases that progress to severe chronic injury can result in end stage renal disease.

[General]
Glomerular diseases (glomerulopathies): Diverse disease processes that mainly affect the glomerulus and include, but are not limited to, glomerulonephritis. Glomerular diseases may be primary or secondary to systemic disease. The major pathogenic categories are inflammatory (nephritic syndrome) and hemodynamic (nephrotic syndrome). Acute nephritic syndrome is used synonymously with acute glomerulonephritis (GN). The prototype is poststreptococcal GN. Chronic nephritic disorders also exist (eg, chronic nephritic-proteinuric syndrome). Nephrotic syndrome is a grouping of symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings due to increased glomerular capillary wall permeability. Many renal diseases can cause nephrotic syndrome, and nephritic and nephrotic syndromes can occur together. Structural, functional, and clinical similarities exist within each group because of the few ways that renal tissue responds to injury and the symptoms and signs that renal disease can produce. Although pathologic differences may provide an understanding of glomerular diseases, correlations between morphologic changes and clinical features are unreliable predictors of prognosis and response to treatment. In some patients with glomerular disease, extrarenal manifestations suggest a causative disease (eg, systemic vasculitis, infection). Serologic markers, such as antistreptococcal antibodies, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA), antinuclear antibodies, cryoglobulins, C3 nephritic factor, hypocomplementemia, or IgA-fibronectin aggregations, suggest a specific glomerular disease or at least help narrow the differential diagnosis (see

Nephritic Syndrome
The classic nephritic syndrome includes hematuria, hypertension, renal insufficiency, and edema. Frequently, individual components of the syndrome are absent. Nephritic syndrome may be acute and transient (eg, postinfectious GN), fulminant with rapid renal failure (eg, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis [RPGN]), or indolent (eg, IgA nephropathy). Pathologic changes, and therefore clinical manifestations, often vary over time.
ACUTE NEPHRITIC SYNDROME
(Acute Glomerulonephritis; Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis)
A syndrome characterized pathologically by diffuse inflammatory changes in the glomeruli and clinically by abrupt-onset hematuria with RBC casts, mild proteinuria, and, often, hypertension, edema, and azotemia.
Etiology
The prototype of an acute nephritic syndrome is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) due to infection with certain nephritogenic strains of group A
Pathology and Pathogenesis
Lesions are confined mainly to the glomeruli, which become enlarged and hypercellular, initially with neutrophils or eosinophils and later with mononuclear cells. Epithelial cell hyperplasia is a common early, transient feature. Microthrombosis may occur; if damage is severe, hemodynamic changes produce oliguria, frequently accompanied by epithelial crescents (formed within Bowman's space from epithelial cell hyperplasia, probably mediated by growth factors from stimulated macrophages). Endothelial and mesangial cells increase in number, and the mesangial regions often are greatly expanded by edema and contain neutrophils, dead cells, cellular debris, and subepithelial deposits of electron-dense material.

GLOMERULAR DISEASES Wayne A. Border, M.D. Most glomerular diseases are capable of producing similar clinical findings. Historically, patients who had the acute onset of hematuria, proteinuria and renal failure were said to have the nephritic syndrome or glomerulonephritis. Patients who had a more insidious onset in which proteinuria leading to hypoalbuminemia and edema was the principal finding were said to have nephrosis or the nephrotic syndrome or glomerulopathy. Today the use of renal biopsy allows glomerular diseases to be described as distinct entities defined by a combination of associated functional, histologic, immunologic and etiologic factors. For each glomerular disease there is a body of knowledge about pathogenesis, natural history, prognosis and response to treatment.
Clinical Manifestations of Glomerular Injury
Red and white cells and cellular casts in the urine, proteinuria, and renal failure are three principal findings in glomerulonephritis. Abnormalities in urinalysis and proteinuria are present in most cases but the severity of proteinuria and renal failure varies from patient to patient as well as with the type of glomerulonephritis. Cellular casts only arise within renal tubules and can be found in either glomerulonephritis or interstitial nephritis.

GLOMERULAR DISEASES CASE 1 A 37 year old bank clerk consulted his physician one Wednesday on account of ankle swelling and puffy eyes. He had put on 20-30 lbs over the preceding few weeks. He was started on a diuretic and admission was arranged for early the following week but on Sunday night he was admitted as an emergency because of nocturnal dyspnea. Spun deposit - numerous oval fat bodies, granular and hyaline casts, some with fatty inclusions. Occ RBCs and RTECS (renal tubular epithelial cells). Labs: Na 132, K 3.l, Cl 92, HCO 31 mEq/L, BUN 34, creatinine 2.l mg/100 ml. Fasting glucose 68 mg/100 ml, albumin l.2 g/dl ANA negative. CH50 75 units (normal complement levels). Urine protein 18 g/24 h. Creatinine clearance 62 ml/min. I.V.P. Both kidneys are large, but no abnormalities were seen. A renal biopsy was performed and, based on the results, prednisone 60 mg on alternate days was administered, together with an increased dose of diuretics. One month later, his edema had subsided appreciably: creatinine clearance was 68 ml/min and 24 h protein excretion was 11 g/day. Glycosuria was now present and plasma K had fallen to 2.4 mEq/L.

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.
