U74-1807 #EGH 74-4670 • No clinical information
68 YOM • Was sent from Norwood for evaluation of Acute Renal Failure and worsening extremities edema. • His Baseline Cr was 300’s (Aug06). the day of admission his Cr was 650’s • Was sent to UofA hospital for evaluation of Acute on Chronic Renal Failure.
PMH: • SLE: Not Biopsy proven, ds-DNA neg • MPGN: Biopsy done in 1974 • CAD: S/P CABG few years ago (5 vessels) • Cirrhosis: based on U/S. not biopsy. etiology NASH vs. Cryptogenic Cirrhosis • Seizure • Gout • HTN • Dyslipidemia • 3rd Degree Heart Block DDDR pacemaker • A.Fib ex- warfarin therapy (Warfarin was D/C on Aug)
Labs: (day of admission) • 97 41 INR: 1.4 5.8 AG 16 4.6 22 630 ALT&AST:45 & 46 T. Bili: 20 UNa 63 93 Urine S/G: 1.013 8.8 252 .28
Hospital Course: • With Diagnosis of Acute on Chronic (pre-renal) patient was started on Lasix 40 Q day and Spironolactone 100 mg QD then Lasix 80 BID. • U/O: 1000 cc/day (average) • R IJ was placed and HD started.
Light microscopy (slides are not available) 2 glomeruli showing: • Moderately severe membrano-proliferative changes: • Mesangial cell hyperplasia in axial regions of tufts • Swelling of podocytes and endothelial cells • Patchy thickening of glomerular basement membranes • Capillary lumina are narrowed • Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of parietal epithelial cells • Peri-glomerular fibrosis
IF • IgG- Moderate to marked granular deposits. • IgA- Trace amounts. • IgM- Trace amounts. • C- Moderate to marked granular deposits.
Original diagnosis (1974)Renal Biopsy: • Membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis, • Process is active • Most consistent with a diagnosis of immune-complex induced GN
Upon review of EM pictures • EM supports a diagnosis of post-infectious or membranous GN. • Presence of numerous subepithelial deposits, somewhat more irregularly spaced than would be usual for membranous.
