PATIENTS WITH
SUSPECTED OF
GLOMERULAR DISEASES
2
Clinical presentations of
glomerular diseases
Differentiate between glomerular syndromes
• Nephritic syndrome versus nephrotic syndrome
• Proteinuria: varying in degree
of proteinuria, more specific in
proteinuria > 2 g/day
Nephritic syndrome
• Glomerular hematuria
• Decreased GFR: oliguria,
anuria, uremic symptoms
• Salt and water retention:
edema, hypertension
Decreased of GFR: edema, oliguria,
hypertension, azotemia
Active urine sediments: dysmorphic RBC, RBC
cast
Subnephrotic-ranged proteinuria
Nephrotic-ranged proteinuria
Hyperlipidemia
Nephrotic syndrome Hypoalbuminemia
Edema
Lipiduria: oval fat body, fatty cast
• Asymptomatic versus symptomatic
• Define onset of disease: history of urine volume and characters
change, nocturia, edema, broad cast in urine (subacute to chronic onset), ultrasound kidney
‣ Acute onset: days to week
‣ Subacute onset: weeks to month
‣ Chronic onset: ≥ 3 months

ASYMPTOMATIC
PROTEINURIA
8
DEFINITION
• Total protein excretion
‣ Normal
< 150 mg/day
‣ Proteinuria
≥ 150 mg/day
‣ Nephrotic-ranged proteinuria
mg/day
> 3,500
• Albumin excretion
‣ Normal
2 – 30 mg/day
‣ Microalbuminuria
30 – 300 mg/day
9
Pathogenesis and etiologies
• Overflow proteinuria
‣ Large amount of small molecular weight protein filter through normal glomerulus and exceeds the capacity of normal tubular cells for
complete reabsorption
‣ Causes: monoclonal gammopthies (e.g. multiple myeloma), intravascular hemolysis (hemoglobinuria), rhabdomyolysis (myoglobinuria)
• Tubular proteinuria
‣ Tubular cells injury results in increase secretion of Tamm-Horsfall protein, increase secretion of other brush border components, and
decrease reabsorption of small molecular
weight protein in urine
- Infections: pyeolonephritis, tuberculosis
- Metabolic: DM, hyperuricemia, uricosuria, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, hypokalemia, oxalosis, cystinosis
- Immunologic: SjÖgrens’s syndrome, renal transplant rejection, drug hypersensitivity, sarcoidosis
- Toxic: analgesic abuse, radiation nephritis, lithium, heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury), Balkan nephropathy, cyclosporine, cisplatin, aminoglycoside
- Anatomic: obstruction, ureterovesical reflux, medullary sponge kidney
- Miscellaneous: multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, sickle cell disease, medullary
sponge kidney
‣ Urine protein usually < 2 g/day
‣ Urine albumin : β2 microglobulin ratio 10:1
‣ Causes
- Hereditary: polycystic kidney disease,
medullary cystic disease
10
• Glomerular proteinuria
‣ Glomerular injuries result in loss charge- and/
or size-selectivity properties of glomerular
basement membrane, and subsequently abnormally increase in clearance of urine protein
‣ Urine protein usually < 2 g/day
‣ Urine albumin : β2 microglobulin ratio >
1,000:1
‣ Causes: primary and secondary glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome (see in
“Etiologies of nephrotic syndrome”), hereditary nephritis (Alport’s syndrome, thin basement membrane disease)
• Benign orthostatic proteinuria
‣ Commonly found in tall adolescents
‣ Protenuria occurs only in the morning after
ambulation, but not in the nighttime
‣ Urine protein < 1 g/day, and no any abnormal
urine sediment
‣ Half of patients spontaneous recovery in 10
years, but small number progress to overt renal disease
‣ Functional and transient proteinuria
‣ Proteinuria which occurs associated with
non-renal cause and disappear after resolution of disease process
‣ Heart failure, fever, or heavy exercise

35
LUPUS NEPHRITIS
36
Epidemiology
• Incidence 1.8 – 7.6 cases / 100,000 people, prevalence 40 – 200 cases / 100,000 people
• Age of onset: peak 15 – 45 years, 85% are younger than 55 years
• Female:male ratio 10:1
• More than 60% of adults with SLE have renal involvement
• 50% of adults with SLE have renal involvement at presentation
• Same incidence of renal involvement in male and female
Pathogenesis
• Genetic, environmental, immunoregulatory, hormonal, and epigenetic factors contribute sequentially or simultaneously on the immune system result in loss of self-tolerance and generation of autoantibodies, immune complexes, autoreactive or inflammatory T cells and cytokines which damage to various organ, including kidneys.

POST-INFECTIOUS
GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
(PIGN)
54
Definition
• An immunologic response of the kidney that
occurs following a non-renal infection
Related terms
• Bright disease
• Streptococcus-related glomerulonephritis
• Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Epidemiology
• Incidence and prevalence are lower
in developed countries
• Incidence 0.6 – 39.24 and prevalence 0.02 – 10.14 cases / 100,000
population
• Median age of onset 36 – 58 years
• High prevalence in DM, alcoholism
• 30 – 50% associated with gram negative bacilli infection
55
Pathogenesis
• Remains unknown, believed to be the deposition of
immune complex within glomerular tuft
• Nephritogenic antigens
‣ SpeB (Streptococcal cationic proteinase exotoxin
B) or NSAP (neprhitis-strain-associated protein) or
NPBP (nephritis plasmin-binding protein)
‣ GADPH (Streptococcal gluceraldehyde phosphate
dehydrogenase) or NAPIr (nephritis-associated
plasmin receptor)
The nephritogenic antigens are normally unable to penetrate
through the GBM because of having similar negative charge.
These antigens interact with plasmin and activate procollagenase
and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) result in degradation and
reducing the negative charge of the GBM. These antigens and immune complexes are now able to pass through the GBM and deposit at subepithelial area to form hump-liked EDD result in foot
processes effacement and proteinuria.

Treatment
• Specific treatment
‣ None for glomerulonephritis
‣ Treatment of underlying infectious diseases
‣ Steroid therapy is controversial
- RPGN and/or high percentage of crescent and severe interstitial lesion: short
course of high-dose intravenous steroid,
follows by 1 - 2 months with prednisolone
- In patients with S. aureus, Brucellosis
and Schistosomiasis infection, glomerulonephritis can progress in spite of eradicate of the organism. Treatment with corticosteroids or cytotoxic agents might
have a role in this circumstance.
• Supportive treatment
‣ BP control
‣ Restrict protein intake
‣ Correct electrolytes and acid-base disturbances
‣ RRT if indicated
Prognosis
• Resolve of clinical manifestations
‣ Edema and hypertension in 1 – 2 weeks:
occurs after dieresis
‣ Normal complement level in 8 weeks
‣ No hematuria and proteinuria in months to
year
• Complete remission: children almost 100%,
adults about 60%
• Hypertesion with urinary abnormalities 5 –
60%, CKD 0 – 49%, ESRD 4 – 34%
• Mortality 0 – 36%
• More unfavorable prognosis in aging patients
‣ Volume control: diuretic
‣ Restrict salt intake

IgA NEPHROPATHY
(IgAN)
65
Definition
• Predominance of IgA deposits, either alone
or with IgG, IgM, or both in the glomerular mesangium
Epidemiology
• Most common primary glomerular disease
‣ Hit 3: Formation of pathogenic circulating immune complexes from autoantigen
(galactose-deficient IgA) and O-glycanspecific antibodies
‣ Hit 4: Deposition of pathogenic immune
complexes in the mesangium, activation
of mesangial cells, and induction of glomerular injury
• Occurs in all age groups
• Most common at age of 10 – 20 years, 80%
of patients are age of 16 – 35 years at the
time of biopsy
• More common in males than females: male /
female ratio 2:1 to 6:1
Pathogenesis
• Multi-hit mechanism
‣ Hit 1: Increased circulating galactosedeficient (at hinge region of heavy chain)
IgA1
‣ Hit 2: Production of anti-glycan antibodies that recognize galactose deficient
IgA1
66
Etiologies

‣ Mesangial IgA deposit with extensive foot
process effacement (coexisting IgAN and
MCD)
‣ Isolated microscopic hematuria 27 – 36%
- Hematuria: may presence or absence
‣ Microscopic hematuria with proteinuria 16
– 17%
- Good response to steroid as in MCD,
and excellent prognosis
• AKI or RPGN: 25 – 29%
‣ AKI: ATN
- Occured after gross hematuria, due to
obstruction of RBC casts or Hb degradation product toxicity
- Duration 5 – 7 days
- Could be spontaneous recovery to need
RRT
‣ RPGN or crescentic IgAN
- Turn to ESRD 50% and 80% at 1 and 5
years, respectively
- In case of there are cellular crescent >
10 – 20%, immunosuppressive may be
beneficial
‣ Mesangial expansion
- Microscopic hematuria
- Progress to CKD
• CKD or ESRD
Hematuria: could be asymptomatic hematuria to
gross hematuria
• 40 -50% had gross hematuria without dysuria, and tend to occur close to upper respiratory tract infection, so called “synpharyngitis” or “synpharyngitic nephritis”
• 30 – 40% had microscopic hematuria
• Intermittent macroscopic hematuria occurred
in 25% of patients
68
Proteinuria: could be asymptomatic proteinuria to
nephrotic-ranged proteinuria
• Most common: subnephrotic-ranged proteinuria
Edema, hypertension
Renal pathology
• Light microscope: focal or diffuse mesangial
matrix expansion and hypercellularity, focal
glomerular sclerosis
Azotemia: could be AKI, RPGN, CKD, ESRD
‣ Crescent formation may be found in severe
IgA nephropathy
Systemic symptoms: some had abdominal pain or
flank pain
‣ Some patients had endocapillary proliferation

• Electromicrocope: mesangial electron dense
deposit (EDD), minority subendothelial and/or
subepithelial EDD, foot process effacement
• IgA / C3 level > 4 – 4.5
69
Treatment
Specific treatment
• Corticosteroid therapy:
‣ Use in patients with GFR > 50 ml/min/1.73
m2 who had persistent proteinuria ≥ 1 g/day,
despite 3 – 6 months of optimized supportive
care
- Prednisolone: 6-month course
➡ 1.0 mg/kg/d x 2 months, then
➡ 0.8 mg/kg/d x 1 month, then
➡ 0.6 mg/kg/d x 1 month, then
‣ Similar regimen to the treatment of ANCAassociated GN (see “ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (ANCA-associated GN)”)
• Fish oil therapy
‣ Use in patients with GFR > 50 ml/min/1.73
m2 who had persistent proteinuria ≥ 1 g/day,
despite 3 – 6 months of optimized supportive
care
- Fish-oil supplement 6 g oral bid (1.87 g
of eicosapentaenoic acid and 1.36 g of
docosahexaenoic acid) x 2 years
• Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), antiplatelet therapy, and tosillectomy: not recommend
➡ 0.4 mg/kg/d x 1 month, then
➡ 0.2 mg/kg/d x 1 month, then off
‣ Use in patients with coexisting IgAN and
MCD
- Similar regimen to the treatment of MCD
(see “Minimal change disease (MCD)”)
• Cyclophosphamide and azathioprine therapy:
‣ Use in patients with crescentic IgAN (crescent > 50% of glomeruli) and RPGN
70
71
Supportive treatment
• Control BP: target BP depend on degree of
proteinuria
‣ Proteinuria < 1 g/day: < 130/80 mmHg
‣ Proteinuria > 1 g/day: < 125/75 mmHg
• ACEI and/or ARB therapy in patients with proteinuria ≥ 0.5 g/d, with up-titrating as far as
tolerated to achieve proteinuria < 1 g/day
• Avoid dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers if possible
• As in general CKD treatment (see “Chronic
kidney disease (CKD)”)
Prognosis
• Poor prognostic factors
‣ Clinical factors: severe proteinuria, hypertension, elevated serum creatinine, male,
absence of any history of recurrent macroscopic hematuria, older age at presentation, marked erythrocyturia
‣ Histologic factors: widespread global and/
or segmental glomerulosclerosis, marked
tubulointerstitial fibrosis, marked extracapillary proliferation, marked arteriolar hyalinosis, extension of IgA deposits into the walls
of peripheral capillary loops
• Serum creatinine
‣ 1.7 mg/dL
- Proteinuria <1 g/day: turn to ESRD
13.4% at 7 years
- Proteinuria ≥1 g/day: turn to ESRD
78.7% at 7 years
‣ > 3 mg/dL: all patients turn to ESRD, so
called “point of no return”

ANCA-ASSOCIATED
GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
(ANCA-ASSOCIATED GN)
74
Definition
• Necrotizing vasculitis, with few or no immune
deposits, predominantly affecting small vessels (i.e., capillaries, venules, arterioles, and
small arteries), associated with myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) or proteinase 3 (PR3) ANCA.
Not all patients have ANCA
Related terms
• Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis
Epidemiology
• Incidence 3.9 cases / 1,000,000 people
• Renal-limited ANCA-associated vasculitis 23
– 25%
• ANCA-negative pauci-immune GN 27 – 38%
75
Pathogenesis
• Anti-anti-complementary PR3
‣ The sense strand of PR3 gene encodes
sense PR3, and the anti-sense strand encodes complementary PR3 (cPR3).
‣ Subsequently, the immune system responses against cPR3 by developing anticPR3 antibody.
‣ The immune system, again, responses
against anti-cPR3 antibody and develops
anti-anti-cPR3, which is PR3-ANCA because the epitope of anti-cPR3 was resembled to sense PR3.
• ANCAs bind to endothelial cells and
membrane-bound PR3/MPO on neutrophils,
results in inflammation of vascular endothelial
cells, called vasculitis.
• Dysregulation of immune system result in further worsening inflammatory response.
76
77
Etiologies

TREATMENT
118
Treatment
Specific treatment
• Correct the causes of AKI
Supportive treatment
• Diet requirement
‣ Fluid requirement (in case of patients in euvolemic status) = urine output + insensible loss
(in general 500 – 800 ml/d)
• Discontinue all nephrotoxic agent when possible
‣ Energy requirement 20 – 30 kcal/kg/day
• Avoid all nephrotoxic agent if possible. In case of
therapeutic alternatives are not available
‣ Protein
‣ Aminoglycoside: prefer single dose daily,
rather than multiple-dose daily treatment and
monitor drug level if possible
‣ Amphotericin B: prefer lipid formulation,
rather than conventional formulation
• Ensure volume status and perfusion pressure
• Avoid hyperglycemia: keep plasma glucose 110149 mg/dL in critically ill patients
- Noncatabolic AKI without dialysis: 0.8 –
1.0 g/kg/day
- AKI with dialysis: 1.0 – 1.5 g/kg/day, and
up to maximum of 1.7 g/kg/day in patients on CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy) and in hypercatabolic patients
‣ Sodium restriction in case of hypervolemia
‣ Potassium restriction for prevention of hyperkalemia
119
• Furosemide may be beneficial in switch the hypervolemic patients with oliguric AKI and to non-oliguric
AKI, but not enhancing kidney function recovery
Indications for initiate renal replacement
therapy
• Adjust the drug dosage: eGFR of the patients with
AKI are presumed to be less than 10 ml/min/1.73 m2
• Not using dopamine, fenoldopam, atrial natriuretic
peptide (ANP), and recombinant human IGF-1 (rh
IGF-1) to treat AKI
• Monitor serum creatinine, urine output
Biochemical
indications
• Correct electrolytes and acid-base abnormalities: hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia
• If indicated, initiate renal replacement therapy
(RRT)
‣ Modalities of RRT: intermittent hemodialysis
(IHD), SLEDD (sustained low efficacy daily
dialysis), CRRT (continuous renal replacement therapy), PD (peritoneal dialysis)
‣ Adjust the drug dosage according to modalities of RRT
Clinical
indications
Refractory hyperkalemia > 6.5 mEq/L
Refractory metabolic acidosis pH < 7.15
Refractory other electrolyte abnormalities:
hyponatremia, hypernatremia, or
hypercalcemia
BUN > 80 mg/dL
Tumor lysis syndrome with hyperuricemia and
hyperphosphatemia

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
(CKD)
DEFINITION
Either of the following present for > 3 months
• Markers of kidney damage (one or more)
‣ Albuminuria ≥ 30 mg/day, or albumin-tocreatinine ratio ≥ 30 g/ g creatinine
‣ Urine sediment abnormalities
‣ Electrolyte and other abnormalities due
to tubular disorders
‣ Abnormalities detected by histology
‣ Structural abnormalities detected by imaging
‣ History of kidney transplantation
Decreased GFR: < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2
125
STAGING
Green: low risk (if no other markers of kidney disease, no CKD);
Yellow: moderately increased risk; Orange: high risk; Red, very high risk.
126
APPROACH TO THE
PATIENT WITH CKD
Determine the duration of kidney disease
• If > 3 months, CKD is confirmed
• If not > 3 months or unclear, CKD is not confirmed. Patients may have CKD or AKI or AKI
on top CKD, thus the test should be repeated
accordingly.
127
Evaluation of causes: using data from history taking,
physical examination, laboratory measures, imaging and
renal biopsy
Evaluation of GFR
• Initial assessment: using serum creatinine and
GFR estimating equation
• More accurate ascertainment: using exogenous
filtration marker
Evaluation of albuminuria
• Initial assessment: spot urine sample (prefer early
morning urine sample) for reagent strip urinalysis
(UA)
• Confirmatory tests for quantitative measurement
‣ Spot urine sample (prefer early morning urine
sample) for albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)
, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR)
‣ Timed urine sample for albumin excretion
rate (AER) or total protein excretion rate
128
TREATMENT
129
Prevention of CKD progression
Blood pressure control
• BP target
‣ Individualize BP targets and agents according to age, underlying diseases, risk of CKD progression,
and tolerance of treatment
‣ In patients with urine AER
- < 30 mg/day (or equivalent): ≤ 140/90 mmHg
- ≥ 30 mg/day (or equivalent): ≤ 130/80 mmHg
• ACEI or ARB are recommended in patients with urine AER > 30 mg/day (or equivalent)
• Kidney transplant recipients
‣ Target BP ≤ 130/80 mmHg
‣ BP-lowering agents depend on timing after transplantation, use of calcineurin inhibitor,degree of albuminuria, and other comorbidities
• Insufficient evidence for combining ACEI and ARB therapy for prevent progression of CKD
130
Glycemic control
• Glycemic control: target HbA1c about 7.0 %
‣ > 7.0% in individuals with comorbidities or limited life expectancy and risk of hypoglycemia
‣ Avoid <7.0% in patients at risk of hypoglycemia
Lipid control
• Lipid control: treatment depend on age of patients and other comorbidities
‣ Cholesterol-lowering Treatment
๏ Non-dialysis-dependent or kidney transplantat recipients
➡ Age 18 – 49 years: statin if presence one or more of the followings: known coronary disease, DM,
prior ischemic stroke, estimated 10-year incidence of coronary death or non-fatal MI > 10%
➡ Age ≥ 50 years
- eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2: statin
- eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2: statin or statin with ezetimibe
๏ Dialysis-dependent patients
➡ Not initiate statin or statin with ezetimibe
➡ If patients already receiving statin or statin with ezetimibe at time of initiation RRT: continue these
agents
131
๏ Kidney transplant recipients: statin
‣ Triglyceride lowering treatment: therapeutic
lifestyle changes
‣ Target lipid: LDL-C < 70, HDL-C > 40, nonHDL-C <100, and TG <150 mg/dL
Diet
• Protein intake
‣0.8 g/kg/day in diabetic patients or eGFR <
30 ml/min/1.73 m2
‣Avoid high protein intake > 1.3 g/kg/day
• Sodium intake < 2 g/day (corresponding to 90
mEq/d of sodium or 5 g/d of sodium chloride), unless contraindicated
• Potassium restriction: in case of hyperkalemia
• Phosphate restriction: in case of hyperphosphatemia
Lifestyle modification
• Exercise: ≥ 30 minutes 5 times/week
• Target BMI 20 – 25 kg/m2
• Stop smoking
• Limiting alcohol intake: ≤ 2 standard drinks/day
for male, and ≤ 1 standard drinks/day for female
132
Management of complications of CKD
Anemia
• Evaluation: annually in CKD stage 3, twice a year in CKD stage 4 or 5, and every 3 months in dialysis patients
• Definition: Hb < 13.0 g/dL in male and < 12.0 g/dL in female
• Evaluation causes of anemia: CBC, absolute recticulocyte count, iron study, B12 and folate level
• Treatment
‣ Iron therapy in TSAT (transferring saturation) ≤ 30%, and serum ferritin ≤ 500 ng/ml
‣ ESA (erythrocyte stimulating agent) therapy
๏ Use with caution in patients with active or history of malignancy and history of stroke
๏ Address all correctable causes of anemia prior to initiation
๏ Initiation of ESA therapy: individualize
➡ In general, patients with Hb < 10.0 g/dL
‣ Target Hb: individualize
๏ In general, 10.0 – 11.5 g/dL, not intentionally increase > 13.0 g/dL
133
Metabolic bone disease
• Evaluation of serum calcium, phosphate, PTH
and alkaline phosphatase in eGFR < 45-60
ml/min/1.73 m2
• Target:
‣ Calcium and phosphate level in normal
range
‣ Intact PTH (iPTH)
๏ Non-dialysis patients: no known optimal
level, in case of iPTH level above normal limit: evaluate for hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and vitamin D
deficiency
๏ Dialysis patients: 2 – 9 times of upper
normal limit
• Treatment
‣ Hyperphosphatemia: phosphate binders
๏ Available agents: calcium carbonate,
calcium acetate, savelamer, lanthanum,
aluminium hydroxide
๏ Calcium-based phosphate binders: restricting dose in patients with hypercalcemia, arterial calcification and/or adynamic bone
๏ Aluminum-containing phosphate
binder: avoid long-term use
‣ High iPTH level
๏ Non-dialysis patients: calcitriol or vitamin D analogue
๏ Dialysis patients: : calcitriol or vitamin D
analogue or combination with calcimimetic drug
๏ Severe hyperparathyroidism with fail to
medical treatment: parathyroidectomy
Metabolic acidosis
• Target: normal range of serum bicarbonate level
• Treatment: oral sodium bicarbonate in case of
serum bicarbonate level < 22 mEq/L
134
Management of other aspects of CKD
Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
• Cardiovascular disease (CVD): considered at increased risk of CVD
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
• Medications
‣ Adjust drug dosage according to eGFR
‣ Avoid herbal remedies
Imaging studies
• Balance risk of contrast-induced AKI against diagnostic value and therapeutic implication of the investigation
• Radiocontrast
‣ Avoid high osmolar agents
‣ Use of lowest possible radiocontrast dose
‣ Withdrawal of potentially nephrotoxic drugs before and after the procedure
‣ Adequate hydration with saline before, during and after the procedure
‣ Measurement of eGFR 48 – 96 hours after the procedure
• Gadolinium-based contrast media
135
‣ Not use in patients with CKD stage 5, unless there is no alternative test
‣ In patients with CKD stage 4-5 who require gadolinium-based contrast media, prefer use of macrocyclic
chelate preparation
• Bowel preparation
‣ Not use oral phosphate-containing bowel preparation
Vaccination
• Hepatitis B vaccine
• Influenza vaccine: annually
• Pneumococcal vaccine: every 5 years in CKD stage 4-5, nephrotic syndrome, DM, or those receiving immunosuppression
136

DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC
KIDNEY DISEASE
147
Epidemiology
• Most common form of polycystic kidney diseases
• Affected 1 in 800 live births, and 4 – 6 million worldwide
• Autosomal dominant penetrance, but 5% of patients have spontaneous mutation
Classification
• Type I: caused by mutation in PKD1 gene
• Type II: caused by mutation in PKD2 gene
148
Pathogenesis
• Numerous site of PKD1 and PKD2 gene point mutations caused reduction in functional polycystin-1 and
polycystin-2, their encoded proteins.
• A “two-hit” mechanism: germ-line mutation of PKD1 and PKD2 with additional somatic mutation in wild-type
gene to initiate the cysts formation

• Polycystin-1 is membrane receptor capable of interacting with extracellular substances as a sensors and signaling through phosphorylation pathways to activate the intracellular response.
• Polycystin-2 is a calcium channel.
• Polycystin-1 interacts with polycystin-2 and other proteins to form the complexes which can be found at the
cell-matrix interface, cell-cell contacts and luminal cilium. Stimulation on these complexes cause calcium influx, which act as a intracellular second messenger, subsequently effect several signal-transduction cascades
149
and regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, epithelial cell differentiation, polarity, adhesion, migration, cell shape,
and tubular diameter.
• The reduction in functional polycystin causes reduction in intracellular calcium and subsequently over activation of adenylate cyclase, increasing number of cyclic AMP, and lessening intracellular signal-transduction cascades results in
‣ Increase cell proliferation
‣ Increase fluid accumulation
‣ Alter cell polarity
‣ Matrix remodeling
• All of these consequences lead to cyst formation in ADPKD patients.

Clinical manifestations
• Two types of ADPKD have similar pathological and physiological features, but type II disease has a later onset
of symptoms, thus patients with type II disease have
‣ Older mean age of ESRD: 54 years in type I and 74 years in type II
‣ Longer life expectancy: 53 years in type I and 69 years in type II
• Progressive enlarge of kidney: mean increase in total kidney volume is 5.3%/year
• Renal failure: patients with kidney volume > 1,500 ml have mean decreased in GFR 4.3 ml/min/year
• Renal pain: found in 60% of patients, located at flank or abdomen
‣ Causes: renal infection, cyst hemorrhage, renal stone, or ADPKD itself
• Hypertension: 50% of patients and increase to nearly 100% of patients with ESRD
• Hematuria
‣ Imaging: to identify intraparenchymal or external hemorrhage, bleeding into the collecting system, solid
tumors
‣ Renal colic: in some patients with hematuria
‣ Usually recovery in few days
• Urinary tract infection
• Renal stones: 20% of patients
154
‣ Usually composed of uric acid and calcium oxalate
‣ Investigation of choice: CT scan of kidneys
• Renal cell carcinoma: not frequent than in the normal population
• Anemia: less frequent than in other renal diseases because of enhanced production of erythropoietin by
polycystic kidneys
• Extra-renal manifestations
‣ Polycystic liver disease:
๏ Most common extrarenal manifestations: 80% of patients
๏ Usually asymptomatic
๏ Associated with estrogen exposure: female, exogenous estrogen use, and repeated pregnancy
๏ Complications: cyst hemorrhage, infections, and rarely torsion or rupture
‣ Cyst in other organs: 5% in pancreas, 8% in arachnoid, and 40% in seminal vesicles
‣ Intracranial aneurysm: found in 16% and 6% of patients with and without family history of aneurysm
๏ Most often asymptomatic
๏ Ruptured: 35 – 55% risk of combined severe morbidity and mortality
๏ Screening for intracranial aneurysm
➡ Diagnostic tools: MR angiography (MRA) or CT angiography (CTA)
➡ Indications
155
- Family history of aneurysm or stroke
- New onset of headache
- Central nervous system symptoms or signs
➡ Management
- Negative: repeat imaging every 5 – 10 years
- < 7 mm-aneurysm: repeat imaging every ½ - 1 year
- ≥ 7 mm-aneurysm: surgical treatment
‣ Other vascular malformation: dolichoectasias, thoracic aortic and cervicocephalic artery dissections, and
coronary artery aneurysm
‣ Cardiac manifestations: mitral valve prolapsed 25% of patients, aortic insufficiency
‣ Colonic diverticulosis and diverticulitis
‣ Bronchiectasis

160
or opened surgical unroofing of cysts, or laparoscopic renal denervation
• Liver cysts
‣ Avoid exposure to estrogens, or least as possible
‣ Partial hepatectomy: in severe liver enlargement
• Pregnancy
‣ Generally uncomplicatied in case of normal
BP and renal function
‣ Increase risk of severe hypertension and
preeclampsia, particularly in patients who
have hypertension and renal impairment before conception

ALPORT’S SYNDROME
163
Epidemiology
• Accounts for 0.4% of adults with ESRD in United States
Pathogenesis
• Type IV collagen composed of 6 genetically distinct α chains, α1(IV)- α6(IV) monomer, which are encoded
from COL4A1 - COL4A6, respectively.
• Three of α chain monomers form into only 3 sets of protomers which are designated as α1.α1.α2(IV),
α3.α4.α5(IV) and α5.α5.α6(IV).
Triple helical organization of the type IV collagen family
164
• These protomers pair into 3 canonical set of hexamers to from networks, which are α1.α1.α2(IV)-α1.α1.α2(IV),
α3.α4.α5(IV)-α5.α5.α6(IV) and α1.α1.α2(IV)-α5.α5.α6(IV).
Assembly and network organization of collagen IV protomers
165
• During the embryonic development, component of GBM structure is change from α1.α1.α2(IV)-α1.α1.α2(IV)
network to α3.α4.α5(IV)-α5.α5.α6(IV) network to form a mature GBM.
Normal glomerular development and the change of networks component of GBM structure
166
• Mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, COL4A5 genes which encode α3, α4 and α5 chain collagen type IV, a
component of glomerular basement membrane (GBM), results in arrest of switching of GBM network. The
GBM in the patients with Alport’s syndrome become persistence of α1.α1.α2(IV)-α1.α1.α2(IV) network results
in dysconfiguration of GBM.
Glomerular development and the abnormal switching of networks component of GBM structure in the patients
with Alport’s syndrome
167
Genetics
• X-linked inheritance
‣ 85% of patients
‣ Mutations in COL4A5 gene encoding α5(IV)
collagen chain
‣ Located on chromosome Xq26-48
COL4A3 and COL4A4 gene encoding α3(IV)
and α4(IV) collagen chain
‣ Located on chromosome 2q35-37
‣ Severity similar to X-linked inheritance
• Autosomal dominant
‣ Rare
‣ Male predominate: ESRD at age of 30 – 40
years, deafness
‣ Missense mutations in COL4A3 and COL4A4
gene encoding α3(IV) and α4(IV) collagen
chain
‣ Female: varying in severity, but less severe
than in male patients
‣ Less severity; benign familial hematuria or
thin basement membrane disease
‣ Concomitant deletion mutations in COL4A6
gene encoding α3(VI) chain are associated
with leiomyomatosis
• Autosomal recessive
‣ 15% of patients
‣ Homozygous or compound heterozygous nonsense mutations, missense mutations, frame
shifts, small deletions, or splice variants in
168
Clinical manifestations
• Hematuria: often the presenting sign
• Severity of disease depend on the mutations
• High-tone sensorineural hearing loss: 80% of patients
• Ocular defects: 40% of patients
‣ Anterior lenticonus: 25% of patients
‣ Perimacular dots and flecks
‣ Posterior polymorphous dystrophy (PPMD)
‣ Microcornea, arcus cornealis, iris atrophy, cataracts,
• Family history of deafness and renal failure
169
Diagnosis
• Electron microscopic findings in renal biopsy
• Immunostaining of α3(IV) and α5(IV) collagen from skin or renal tissue
[ Skin collagen networks composed of α1.α1.α2(IV)-α5.α5.α6(IV) ]

glomerular capillary wall
Treatment
• No proven therapy
• Control hypertension with ACEI
• Light microscope: nonspecific, normal or nearly
normal, segmental to diffuse mesangial cell proliferation, matrix increase, and thickening of the
glomerular capillary wall
• Electron microscope: thin GBM thicken over time
into multilamellations and lucent spaces results in
split appearance of the basement membrane;

Water deprivation test
• Procedure
‣ NPO: initiation of test depends on the severity of DI
๏ Routine case: after dinner of the day before the test
๏ More severe case: early in the morning of the test
‣ At the start of the test: obtain sOsm, uOsm, serum electrolyte, plasma AVP
‣ Hourly: measure of urine volume, uOsm, body weight, blood pressure
‣ Endpoint: any of the followings
๏ Body weight decreases by ≥3%
๏ Presence of orthostatic hypotension
๏ uOsm change <10% over 2 consecutive measurements
๏ Serum sodium > 145 mEq/L
‣ At the endpoint
๏ Obtain sOsm, uOsm, serum electrolyte, plasma AVP
๏ Administer of AVP 5 U or DDAVP 1 µg subcutaneously
‣ Hourly: measure of uOsm, urine volume for 2 hours
• Interpretation
196
‣ After water restriction
๏ uOsm >600 mOsm/kgH2O suggests primary polydipsia
๏ uOsm <600 mOsm/kgH2O suggests DI and minority of primary polydipsia
‣ After AVP/DDAVP administration
๏ Unequivocal uOsm
➡ < 10% increase: NDI, primary polydipsia
➡ > 50% increase: CDI
๏ Equivocal uOsm
➡ 10-50% increase
- Non-diagnostic result
- Need correlation between sOsm and plasma AVP level

hypertension, azotemia
Active urine sediments: dysmorphic RBC, RBC
cast
Subnephrotic-ranged proteinuria
Nephrotic-ranged proteinuria

Nephrotic syndrome Hypoalbuminemia
Edema
Lipiduria: oval fat body, fatty cast
• Asymptomatic versus symptomatic
• Define onset of disease: history of urine volume and characters
change, nocturia, edema, broad cast in urine (subacute to chronic
onset), ultrasound kidney
‣ Acute onset: days to week
‣ Subacute onset: weeks to month

IGA NEPHROPATHY (IGAN)
Definition
• Predominance of IgA deposits, either alone or with IgG, IgM, or both
in the glomerular mesangium
Epidemiology
• Most common primary glomerular disease
• Occurs in all age groups
• Most common at age of 10 – 20 years, 80% of patients are age of 16
– 35 years at the time of biopsy
• More common in males than females: male / female ratio 2:1 to 6:1
Pathogenesis
• Multi-hit mechanism
‣ Hit 1: Increased circulating galactose-deficient (at hinge region
of heavy chain) IgA1
‣ Hit 2: Production of anti-glycan antibodies that recognize galactose deficient IgA1
‣ Hit 3: Formation of pathogenic circulating immune complexes
from autoantigen (galactose-deficient IgA) and O-glycanspecific antibodies
‣ Hit 4: Deposition of pathogenic immune complexes in the mesangium, activation of mesangial cells, and induction of glomerular
injury

MINIMAL CHANGE DISEASE (MCD)
Related terms
• Lipoid nephrosis
• Minimal change glomerulopathy
Epidemiology
• 10 – 15% of primary glomerular syndrome in adults
• 70 - 90% of nephrotic syndrome in children under age of 10 year,
and 50% of older children
• Male : female ratio 2:1 – 3:1
Pathogenesis
• Remains unclear
• Most likely a consequence of abnormal regulation of T cells
Etiologies and classification
• Primary MCD
• Secondary MCD
‣ Infections: virus, parasite
‣ Drugs: NSAIDs, gold, lithium, interferon, ampicillin, rifampin, trimethadione, tiopronin
‣ Tumors: Hodgkin’s disease, lymphoma, leukemia, solid tumors
‣ Allergies: food, dust, bee stings, pollen, poison ivy, poison oak,
dermatitis herpitiformis
‣ Others: SLE, following hematopoietic cell transplantation
