The Spectrum of Glomerular Disease SLE Minimal change IgA nephropathy Membranous Diabetic nephropathy Anti-GBM disease FSGS Small vessel vasculitis MCGN Post infectious nephritis Proteinuria
Endothelial cells GBM Podocyte 1 million in each adult human kidney
Glomerular filtration barrier Glomerular endothelial cells 180 litres of water and small solutes- almost no proteins GBM Slit diaphragm Podocytes
Definition • Protein:creatinine ratio (PCR) • 20mg/mmol • 200mg/mmol nephrotic range • Albumin: creatinine ratio (ACR) • 30mg/mmol
Case-1 • 13 year old boy • No PMH/FH renal disease • BP and renal function normal • Incidental finding • Urinalysis: 2+protein • Mild proteinuria (PCR 20-50) • 3 early morning urines: PCR • Orthostatic proteinuria
Case-2 • 5 year old boy • BP and renal function normal • Urinalysis 2+ protein, 2+ blood • PCR 40-50 • ACR 20 • Calcium:creatinine: 1.5mmol/mmol • USS: Nephrocalcinosis • NAG/RBP:creatinine • Dent’s disease: CLC5/OCRL-1 mutations
Case-3 • 8 year girl • PMH: Bilateral VUR and recurrent UTI • FH: VUR • DMSA: Bilateral renal scarring • BP normal, eGFR 65ml/min/1.73m2 • Urinalysis 2+ protein PCR 30-50 • Enalapril 5mg od • Renal function before and at 2 weeks • Reflux nephropathy
Case-4 • 8 year old girl • HSP • Urinalysis: Protein 3+, blood 2+ • PCR 100-150: Persistent at 4 weeks • BP 95th centile • Normal renal function • Renal biopsy: Crescentic GN, IgA deposition • Steroids/Azathioprine/Enalapril • HSP nephritis
Summary • Investigate persistent proteinuria • Orthostatic • Tubular disease • Nephropathy • Use of anti-proteinuric agents to limit secondary injury
