What causesglomerular disease ?
Most are of immunologic origin, and
caused by immune complexes !

• mechanical stress:
• hypertension

HematuriaHematuria
Isomorphic nonglomerular erythrocytes. The arrows indicate the so-called crenated erythrocytes皱缩红细胞 , which are a frequent finding in nonglomerular hematuria.
Dysmorphic glomerular erythrocytes. The dysmorphism consists mainly in irregularities of the cell membrane. Inset, Acanthocytes 棘红细胞 with their typical ring-formed cell bodies with one or more blebs水泡 of different sizes and shapes.

How are glomurular diseases diagnosed ?
Usually by history, physical findings,
Urinalysis and other laboratory data.
Occasionally a renal biopsy must be
performed !
Renal Biopsy ProcessingRenal Biopsy Processing
• performed by nephrologists using real-time ultrasound guidance and disposable automated biopsy needles.
• 16-gauge needles
• lower pole of the kidney
Renal Biopsy ProcessingRenal Biopsy Processing
• Ultrasound scan demonstrating the deepness of needle entering the lower pole of the left kidney (centimeter)
Renal Biopsy ProcessingRenal Biopsy Processing
• Needle is guided into the probe pore
• passed under ultrasonic guidance to kidney capsule.
Renal Biopsy ProcessingRenal Biopsy Processing
• The trigger mechanism is released with the pt stopping the breath
•firing the needle into the kidney
• Needle is immediately withdrawn

• Similar to acute GN on onset• Rapid deterioration of renal
function• Cr↑ , Oliguria and obvious
macroscopic hematuria• Crescent formation>50%• Need aggressive
therapy(Large dose of steroid
pulse therapy + CTX ;Plasmaphoresis)
• Prognosis: poor, most require
dialysis.

Chronic glomerulonephritis
• Clinical presentations:
Proteinuria(<3.5g/d);Hematuria;
Hypertension;Edema;Azotema(BUN/Cr↑)
• Pathological manifestations of all of major glomerulopathies.
• Exclusion of secondary cause :SLE etc.
• To correct the reversible factors: hypertension, infection, drug toxicity
Treatment of Chronic GN
• Reduce proteinuria• Control hypertension
• ACE-I or AT II receptor blocker/ antagonist (ARB): reducing proteinuria in addition to lowing of blood pressure
• Low protein diet for azotemia• Avoid nephrotoxic agents• Anti-platelet aggregation
