Primary Impression Nephrotic Syndrome 2○MembranoproliferativeGlomerulonephritis Type I 2○ to EBV Infectious Mononucleosis vs. HIV Infection
Epstein-Barr Virus Cryoglobulin MPGN Type 1 HIV Nephropathy Liver mass Nephrotic Syndrome Low C3 Complement
MPGN Type 1 Nephrotic Syndrome Hypothyroid state Proteinuria Decrease in TBG Easy fatigability; weakness Hypoalbuminemia leading to Edema Hyperlipidemia Hypocalcemia Increase in Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, VLDL Decrease in HDL Nephrolithiasis due to increased excretion of calcium
HIV Infection • Most have low CD4 counts <200 and advanced HIV • Mechanism is not well understood but in vitro study suggested HIV can infect glomerular endothelial cells, mesangial cells and tubular cells. • Presents with renal insufficiency with heavy proteinuria (>10g), few red or white cells in urine sediment and hypoalbuminemia, nl to large hyperechogenic kidneys on US. HTN and peripheral edema is not common. • Rapid decline in renal function due to severe glomerular injury and marked damage to the tubular cells • In histology, tendency to collapse and sclerosis of the entire glomerular tuft rather than segmental injury.
EBV Infectious Mononucleosis • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is ubiquitous. It is estimated that more than 90% of adult humans demonstrate serologic evidence of a prior infection with EBV. • Most cases of IM are due to EBV, but the vast majority of EBV infections do not result in infectious mononucleosis. • The most common mode of transmission of EBV is through exposure to infected saliva from asymptomatic individuals, often as a result of kissing. • Most patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infectious mononucleosis are asymptomatic • Prodromal symptoms consisting of 1-2 weeks of fatigue, malaise, and myalgia are common.
Management Confirmatory Diagnostics
HIV Infection • Rapid HIV tests • Test for HIV antibodies with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). • Next steps if rapid test positive • Confirm reactive tests with Western blot or immunofluorescent assay (IFA). • Nonreactive tests with high suspicion for acute HIV infection should be followed up with a virologic test such as HIV RNA assay (viral load). • Viral load is very high (>100,000 copies/mL) in acute HIV infection. • If virologic test is positive, then repeat antibody testing in 3 months after seroconversion.
EBV Infection • Patient should undergo the heterophile test to diagnose EBV with IM. • Human serum is absorbed wth guinea pig kidney. • Heterophile titer is defined as greatest serum dilution that agglutinates sheep, horse or cow erythrocytes. • A titer of greater than or equal to 40-fold is diagnostic of acute EBV infection in a person with symptoms of IM with atypical lymphocytes. • The patient can also undergo the monospot test which is slightly more accurate and more commercially available. • The patient can also choose to undergo EBV-specific serologic studies which is considered the “gold standard”.

Management Therapeutics
Nephrotic Syndrome Treatment of nephrotic syndrome involves: • Specific treatment of the underlying morphologic entity • General measures to control proteinuria if remission is not achieved through immunosuppresssive therapy and other specific measures • General measures to control nephrotic complications
Nephrotic Syndrome • Corticosteroids • Immunoregulators • Diuretics • Anticoagulation to prevent thromboembolic complications • Hypolipidemic agents may be used, but if the nephrotic syndrome cannot be controlled, there will be persistent hyperlipidemia. • In secondary nephrotic syndrome, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and/or angiotensin II receptor blockers are used. These may reduce proteinuria by reducing the systemic blood pressure and by reducing intraglomerular pressure.
Nephrotic Syndrome Diet • For patients with nephrotic syndrome, their diet should provide adequate energy (caloric) intake and adequate protein (1-2 g/kg/d). Supplemental dietary protein is of no proven value. • A diet with no added salt will help to limit fluid overload. • Management of hyperlipidemia could be of some importance if the nephrotic state is prolonged.
Type 1 MPGN • 1/3 of patients with Type 1 MPGN will have spontaneous remission, 1/3 will have progressive disease, and 1/3 will have a disease process that will wax and wane but never completely disappear. The goals of treatment: • reduce symptoms • prevent complications, and • slow the progression of the disorder.
Type 1 MPGN • There is no clearly defined treatment for Type 1 MPGN. • After ruling out secondary causes, it consists of corticosteroid therapy (there is no standard dosage for adults) and antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, 500–975 mg/d orally, plus dipyridamole 225 mg/d orally). The rationale for antiplatelet therapy is that platelet consumption is increased in MPGN and may play a role in glomerular injury. • Prednisone – low dose, alternate-day may have salutary effect on improving renal function. • However studies for this have been limited to children.
Type 1 MPGN • a host of other forms of immunosuppressive and anti-coagulant treatment has been used in the management of type I MPGN. • Ex. dipyridamole, aspirin, and warfarin with and without cyclophosphamide • A study using acetylsalicylic acid with dipyridamole demonstrated a slight decrease in urine protein excretion by 3 years without differences in renal function. • Important to treat the associated diseases, if any. • Treatment with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system is prudent if there is proteinuria.
EBV-associated IM • Clinical course is generally self-limited • Does not usually require specific therapeutic intervention beyond the use of aspirin or acetaminophen for antipyresis and mild pain relief • Short courses of corticosteroids have been used to hasten symptomatic recovery in cases in which the symptoms are severe or refractory. • Excessive physical activity during the first month should be avoided. • Antiviral agents (like acyclovir) have not been demonstrated to significantly accelerate resolution of symptoms or prevent complications of the disease.
