35. Renal involvement:
1. sub-clinical- mild proteinuria and few urinary sedi-ments
2. Icteric
Weil’s Syndrome (jaundice, renal dysfunction, he-morrhagic
diathesis)
ARF (10% to > 60%)
virulence, bacterial load, host immunity
hyperbilirubinemia
hypercatabolic with cholestasis
36. Renal involvement is common.
1. bacterial invasion
2. inflammatory process
3. hemodynamic alteration
4. direct toxicity of bacterial product
Basic lesion is Interstitial Nephritis
Glomerular changes are not remarkable
Tubular Necrosis Acute Renal Failure
primarily involves the PT
37. Pathogenesis
BACTERIAL INVASION/INFLAMMATION:
Outer membrane protein-activates
monocytes-
release of pro-inflammatory cytokines-
vasoactive substances and adhesion
molecules
Humoral response (Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes)
deposition of IgM and C3
Cell mediated (cytokines and chemokines)
38. Hemodynamics:
Pattern 2 ( seen in pulmonary hemorrhage )
cardiac index/SVR normal
pulmonary vascular resistance increase
Pattern 3 ( seen in hyperbilirubinemia )
SVR slightly increase or normal
CI, mean arterial pressure decrease
pulm vascular resistance normal
39. HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES:
Pattern 1 ( similar to sepsis )
SVR is decreased by nitric oxide
CO, CI and blood volume increased
Renal vasculature resistance increased
Renal blood flow and GFR decreased
pulm vascular resistance normal
+ hypotension (60%)
41. HYPOTENSION
1. renal ischemia
2. inflammatory processes
Renal Ischemia:
dysregulation of lung salt and water channels
downregulate pulmo epithelial Na
channel(ENaC),
Na-K ATPase and aquaporin 5
43. Renal injury- is compounded by concomittant
dehydration>>hypovolemia & hypotension,
development of anuria>> poor prognostic
sign.
In fatal cases- kidney are swollen & yellow w/
prominent cortical blood vessels.>>>focal
areas of tubular necrosis.
Severe hemorrhagic Pneumonitis & Acute pulm
distress syndrome- prominent manifestation of
infection & occur in the absence of hepatic &
renal failure.( CXR lower lobe evolve from
small nodular densities Snow flakes like)
44. Human leptospirosis
Kidneys:
swollen, bile stained
interstitial edema, infiltration of
mononuclear
cells and eosinophils
ATN:
Degeneration and necrosis of tubular epith
cells and disruption of basement membrane
45. Hemorrhagic Syndrome in Leptospirosis
The basic pathomorphological substrate
endothelial damage leading to generalized vasculitis.
studies have shown that capillary leakage and
hemorrhage result from the disruption of endothelial
cell membranes of small vessels via the intercalation
glycoprotein toxin w/c displaces the host long chain fatty
acids required to maintain vascular cell wall integrity.
46. and therefore: systemic vasculitides
pulmonary hemorrhage
ischemia to renal cortex
destruction to hepatic architectiure

49. Chest X-Ray Findings:
1. small, “snow-flakes like” nodular
density
2. large confluent consolidation
3. diffuse, ill-defined ground glass
appearance

52. Dark field microscopy – direct visualization of
leptospires in blood & urine.
ELISA- 75% + to the patient on the day of
admission to the hosp but not available
commercially.
PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)only
advantage is confirming the diagnosis during
early acute phase of illness before the
appearance of IgM ANTIBODIES.
In fulminating cases in which death occurs
before seroconversion this test maybe of
great value.
53. relied on silver impregnation staining, but
immunohistochemical staining offer greater
sensitivity & specificity.
Isolation and Identification
leptospires can be isolated from blood, CSF,&
peritoneal dialysate fluid during first 10 days of
illness. Specimen should be collected while the
patient is febrile & before antibiotic therapy is
initiated.
Urine can be cultured after the ist wk of illness.
Culture are performed in Albumin polysorbate
media – incubated 30C x sev wks- slow growth.
54. MAT- ( Microscopic Agglutination Test)
majority of leptospires cases are
diagnosed by Serology. Live antigen
representing different serogroups of
leptospires are reacted w/ serum
sample & examined under Darkfield
Microscopy fof Agglutination.
