41. Post-streptococcal Glomerulonephritis Case Discussion

42. PSGN

43. A. DEFINITION Glomerulonephritis Glomerular injury with evidence of proliferation and inflammation of glomerulus such as leukocyte infiltration, antibody deposition, and complement activation

44. A. DEFINITION Characterized by hypertension, edema, gross hematuria, proteinuria, azotemia Incidence All age groups Greatest frequency in 4-12 years Peak 5-6 years Male:Female 2:1 Seasonal Pattern Winter-Spring: Streptococcal pharyngitis related AGN Summer-Fall: Pyoderma related post strep AGN

45. B. CLASSIFICATION Etiology Post-infectious Bacterial Streptococcus Pneumococcus Staphylococcus Gonococcus Syphilis Viral Measles, mumps, varicella, Inf mononucleosis, CMV, HepB, Coxsackie Non-infectious Clinical Manifestation Primary Renal failure Secondary Systemic diseases (SLE, HSP) Most Common Causative Agent Group A Beta hemolytic streptococcusType 12

46. C. immunopathogenesis Antigen-IgG-C3 complex Antigen-Antibody Immune Response Infiltration of Inflammatory cells Proliferation of glomerular cells Matrix expansion  Basement membrane permeability  Antibody titers Antistreptolysin O Antihyaluronidase DNAse-B Streptokinase  Glomerular filtration surface  Glomerular Filtration Rate Na+ and water retention Oliguria, Hypertension, Edema, Hematuria

47. D. Clinical course Latent Phase (~10 days) Onset of infection to development of clinical disease Strep pharyngitis Strep pyoderma

48. D. Clinical course Oliguric Phase (~7-10 days) Edema (85%) Appears abruptly, most common symptom Periorbital, later generalized Dependent on Severity of glomerular involvement Fluid intake Degree of hypoalbuminemia Resolves in 5-10 days

49. D. Clinical course Oliguric Phase (~7-10 days) Hematuria (30-50%) Dark brown, rusty, cola Disappears within 1-3 wks Microscopic: 1-2wks after initial presentation

50. D. Clinical course Oliguric Phase (~7-10 days) Hypertension (50-90%) Pathogenesis unknown  ECF volume expansion Occurs early, lasts 3-5 days Severe after a brief 2-5 days Magnitude of increase is variable Systolic 200mmHg Diastolic 120mmHg Persistent BP elevation for 1-2 wks Returns to normal within 2-3 wks, persists up to 6 wks

51. D. Clinical course Oliguric Phase (~7-10 days) Other signs and symptoms Anuria Azotemia

52. D. Clinical course Diuretic Phase (7-10 days) Spontaneous voiding Clinical improvement Convalescent Phase (7-10 days) Urinary protein excretion Microscopic hematuria

53. E. Diagnostic work-up Urinalysis High specific gravity High osmolality Low pH Proteinuria rarely exceeds +3 Disappears in first 2-3months or may decrease slowly over 6 months RBC casts  60-85% hospitalized w/ AGN Leukocyturia, hyaline, and granular casts common CBC Anemia (dilutional) may be present

54. E. Diagnostic work-up Serum Chemistries Serum function test BUN, Crea BUN elevated, disproportionate to serum creatine Serum electrolytes Hyponatremia, Hypokalemia

55. E. Diagnostic work-up Immunologic ASO titer Rises over 10-14 days to several wks in 70-80% after strep infection, peak in 3-5 months Slowly decreases in 1-6 months Poor titer following pyoderma AGN titer C3 Depressed in 90-100% patients in first 2wks of illness (Although not always low) Normal in 3-8 weeks Persistent levels suggest ongoing, chronic process

56. E. Diagnostic work-up Radiologic KUB Ultrasound Prominent pyramids Echogenic cortex No detectable architecture Chest Xray “sunburst” pattern

57. F. Confirmatory investigation Bacteriologic demonstration of group A ß hemolytic strep on throat and skin Serology High ASO titers  Bacteriologic Anti-DNAseHyaluronidase  Pyoderma Streptozyme test  100% Confirmatory of Strep Depressed C3

58. F. Confirmatory investigation Kidney Biopsy Atypical presentation Absence of infection prior to onset Absence of serologic evidence of streptococcal etiology Absence of depression of serum complement or C3 Early clinical course Anuria Presence of nephrotic syndrome Azotemia out of proportion to other clinical findings

59. F. Confirmatory investigation Kidney Biopsy Miscellaneous Age <2 yrs and >12 yrs Prior history of renal disease

60. F. Confirmatory investigation Delay in Resolution Early Oliguria + Azotemia >2 wks HPN >3 yrs Gross hematuria >3 wks C3 persistently depressed >6wks Late Proteinuria + hematuria > 6 mos. Proteinuria > 6 months Hematuria > 12 mos.

61. G. Treatment Supportive Low salt diet, Fluid restriction BSA + ½ of the UO if on Furosemide or 20-30ml/kg/BW Indications for Hospitalization Edematous Hypertension Oliguric w/ Azotemia S/Sx of Congestion

62. G. Treatment Medications Uncomplicated (80%) Diuretics Furosemide (0.5-1mkd, max 8-15mg) Antihypertensive beta-blockers Hydralazine (0.15-0.30mg/kg) Propanolol (1mkday every 6-12 hours)

63. G. Treatment Medications Complicated HPN Encephalopathy HTN severe + Nervous System dysfunction Headache, vomiting, depressed sensorium, confusion, visual disturbances, Aphasia, memory loss, coma, convulsion Anti-convulsants (Diazepam, Phenobarbital) Anti-hypertensive CHF Dyspnea, orthopnea, cough, rales often IV furosemide Careful digitalization Phlebotomy

64. G. Treatment Medications Complicated Acute Renal Failure IV Furosemide Peritoneal dialysis Other medications Pen G 100,000 ‘U’ for PSAGN 7-10 days

65. H. Indications for referral Atypical presentation – massive proteinuria Systemic signs Complications

66. I. Prognosis Prognosis for complete recovery from AGN in children is excellent (80-90%). Recovery without any measurable renal abnormality is expected Clinical recovery at 1 month Gross hematuria – 1-2 wks Microscopic hematuria – 6months to 1 year Serologic tests C3 – 8-12 wks Biopsy Histologic resolution – 1-2 years

67. I. Prevention Early treatment does not eliminate risk of GN Family members should be cultured for Grp A ß hemolytic strep and treated if culture positive
