Pathophysiology of Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys that is usually caused by an abnormal immune reaction 1 to 3 weeks after a distant infection elsewhere in the body such as a streptococcal sore throat, tonsillitis, or skin infection. The infection itself does not directly damage the kidneys, but rather triggers an immune response that attacks the glomeruli. Symptoms include protein and blood in the urine, kidney failure, reduced urine output, swelling, and high blood pressure. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and slowing kidney damage.
Peritonitis
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum that can be caused by infection or non-infectious processes. It is typically caused by a perforation or leak in the gastrointestinal tract that allows bacteria to enter the abdominal cavity. The document outlines the types, causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic workup, and treatment including antibiotics, surgery, and postoperative care for managing peritonitis.
Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by reversible pancreatic inflammation resulting from inappropriate release and activation of pancreatic enzymes, which destroy pancreatic tissue and elicit an acute inflammatory reaction. The most common causes are biliary tract disease and alcoholism. Treatment involves IV fluid replacement to correct electrolyte imbalances and shock, which is a common cause of death in early stages. Surgical drainage may be needed for pancreatic complications like abscesses or pseudocysts.
Pancreatitis topic for nursing students
The document discusses pancreatitis, including defining acute pancreatitis as an inflammation of the pancreas that can range from mild edema to severe hemorrhagic necrosis. It outlines causes such as gallstones and alcohol, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations like abdominal pain and vomiting, potential complications, diagnostic tests, treatment including pain management and nutritional support, and discusses chronic pancreatitis.
Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by protein in the urine, low protein levels in the blood, swelling, and high cholesterol levels. It is caused by damage to the glomeruli in the kidneys, which leads to increased permeability of proteins in the kidneys and their loss in the urine. Treatment involves medications like steroids to reduce protein in the urine, a low-sodium diet to control swelling, and monitoring for infections which patients are at higher risk for due to low immune function. Nursing care focuses on fluid management, preventing infections, providing emotional support, and educating patients and families on treatment and self-care at home.

Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. There are two main types - acute glomerulonephritis, which has a sudden onset typically in children following a streptococcal infection, and chronic glomerulonephritis, which develops over time and can lead to long-term kidney damage. Acute glomerulonephritis causes kidney dysfunction seen as edema, high blood pressure, reduced urine output, and blood in the urine. Treatment focuses on rest, fluid management, antibiotics, and controlling blood pressure. Chronic glomerulonephritis can develop from acute or other causes and may cause few symptoms initially
Understanding Glomerulonephritis Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis.pptx
Glomerulonephritis is a group of kidney disorders that hold profound implications for health. These disorders involve inflammation of the glomeruli – tiny filters within the kidneys responsible for cleansing the blood. This blog aims to shed light on the intricate web of causes, symptoms, and methods used to diagnose glomerulonephritis.
Glomerulonephritis has multifaceted origins, with immune-mediated factors playing a prominent role. Occasionally, the body’s immune system malfunctions, erroneously directing its assault towards the glomeruli. Conditions such as lupus and vasculitis, which are autoimmune diseases, can trigger these responses, ultimately resulting in glomerulonephritis.
Nephrotic syndrome by Dr. swarupchinta
- A 55-year-old woman presented with swelling of the face and lower limbs for one month, as well as shortness of breath on exertion for 20 days and decreased appetite.
- Investigations showed nephrotic range proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and a renal biopsy consistent with minimal change disease.
- Minimal change disease should be considered and treatment involves corticosteroids, with frequent monitoring due to the risk of relapses.
Glomerulonephritis

The two main types of HIV that cause AIDS are HIV-1, which is most common worldwide, and HIV-2, which is mainly found in West Africa. HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sex, blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and sharing needles. While treatment with antiretroviral drugs can suppress the virus and prevent transmission, there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS.
Seizures
This document defines seizures, distinguishes them from convulsions and epilepsy, and classifies seizure types based on characteristics. Seizures are abnormal neuronal discharges, while epilepsy is recurrent seizures. Convulsions involve violent muscle contractions. Seizures are classified as generalized involving the entire brain, or partial originating in one area. Generalized seizures include tonic-clonic, absence, myoclonic, atonic, and tonic. Partial seizures can be simple or complex.
Epstein barr virus (ebv) and varicella
Epstein Barr virus and Varicella Zoster virus are herpes viruses. EBV causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with various cancers like Burkitt's lymphoma. It remains latent in B cells after initial infection. Varicella Zoster virus causes chickenpox during primary infection and shingles during reactivation from latency in dorsal root ganglia. Both viruses are enveloped with double stranded DNA and spread via contact with infected secretions. Their infections present with fever and rashes and are diagnosed via blood tests or virus detection.
Chronic renal failure
Chronic renal failure is the progressive loss of kidney function over months or years. It is defined as a decline in glomerular filtration rate below 70-75% and is generally irreversible. It progresses through stages and is caused by conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. Symptoms result from kidney's inability to regulate fluids, electrolytes, and waste and include edema, shortness of breath, fatigue, and neurological changes. Treatment focuses on slowing progression through blood pressure control, cholesterol medications, treating anemia, and dialysis or transplant for end-stage disease.
Tributaries of portal veins
The portal vein receives blood from several tributary veins, including the splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, inferior mesenteric vein, left gastric vein, and right gastric vein. The splenic vein receives blood from the spleen and pancreas. It joins with the superior mesenteric vein, which receives blood from the small intestine, to form the portal vein. The inferior mesenteric vein drains blood from the descending colon.
Sodium, potassium and chloride
The document discusses three important electrolytes: sodium, potassium, and chloride.
Sodium is obtained mainly from table salt, fish, and meat. Its daily requirement is 4-6g and it is important for fluid balance, nerve impulse conduction, and acid-base balance. Disorders include hyponatremia and hypernatremia.
Potassium is obtained from foods like bananas, cereals, and fish. Its daily requirement is 4g and it is crucial for heart contraction, intracellular pressure, and acid-base balance. Disorders are hypokalemia and hyperkalemia.
Chloride does not have a set daily requirement as its main source is sodium. It is important for
Pre hepatic jaundice
This document discusses jaundice, including its definition, classification, types, and pre-hepatic jaundice. Jaundice refers to a yellowish discoloration of the body from high bilirubin levels and is classified as pre-hepatic, hepatic, or post-hepatic depending on where the dysfunction occurs. Pre-hepatic or hemolytic jaundice happens before the liver and is caused by excess unconjugated bilirubin production from rapid red blood cell breakdown faster than the liver can process it.
Movement
This document defines and describes various types of movements that can occur at joints in the human body. It discusses gliding, angular, flexion, extension, lateral flexion, hyperextension, adduction, abduction, circumduction, rotation, elevation, depression, pronation, supination, protraction, retraction, inversion, eversion, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, and opposition. For each type of movement, it provides a definition and example to explain how that movement occurs at a joint between bones. The document is intended to teach fundamental anatomy by defining the basic movements possible at joints in the human skeletal system.
Jaundice
1. Jaundice refers to a yellowish discoloration of the body tissues caused by high levels of bilirubin in the blood and tissues.
2. There are three main types of jaundice - hemolytic, hepatocellular, and obstructive - which are classified based on where the defect occurs in the breakdown and excretion of bilirubin.
3. The Van Den Bergh reaction is used to determine the concentration of conjugated versus unconjugated bilirubin in the body to help identify the specific type of jaundice.
Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is composed of stacked, membrane-bound sacs called cisternae that modify and package proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum. It has three primary compartments - cis, medial, and trans - for processing materials. The Golgi apparatus sorts and directs finished products for secretion, incorporation into the plasma membrane, or delivery to other organelles. It also synthesizes certain carbohydrates.
Functions of lymph

It states that at the end of the seminar, students should understand: 1) the function of lymph, 2) how lymph enhances immune system efficiency, and 3) how cancer can spread through lymph nodes. It then lists and describes six key functions of lymph: transporting proteins and fat, maintaining blood volume, aiding urine concentration, supplying nutrition and oxygen, and enhancing immune system efficiency.
Clinical feature of ant. pituitary gland
The document discusses hyperactivity and hypoactivity of the anterior pituitary gland. Hyperactivity can cause gigantism or acromegaly, resulting in excessive growth and bone enlargement. Hypoactivity can cause dwarfism or acromicria, characterized by stunted growth. The causes, signs, and symptoms of each condition are described, including excessive or reduced growth hormone secretion, tumor presence, and effects on other endocrine glands and body systems.
Meniscal injury
The meniscus is a C-shaped fibrocartilage structure in the knee that provides shock absorption, joint stability, and lubrication. It receives minimal blood supply, so tears do not heal well. Bucket handle tears are most common. Symptoms include locking, pain, and swelling. Exams involve McMurray's test and Apley's test to isolate meniscal tears. MRI is very sensitive for diagnosis. Treatment ranges from immobilization and physical therapy for acute tears to arthroscopic surgery to repair or excise chronic tears.
Poverty and inequality in health
Poverty is defined as a state of lacking sufficient income and resources to afford basic necessities. It impedes human progress and development by limiting access to things like adequate housing, healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition. This can increase morbidity and mortality rates. Poverty is caused by factors like illiteracy, lack of knowledge, poor living conditions, and social issues. It is associated with increased risk of diseases and health issues. Measuring socioeconomic status is important for understanding poverty levels. Poverty reduction efforts aim to increase access to resources and opportunities through programs, policies, and sustainable development goals. However, overcoming poverty faces ongoing challenges.
Preparation mri and ctscan
The document provides information on preparing for MRI and CT scan procedures, including screening patients, necessary preparations, and expectations during and after the scans. Patients need to disclose their medical history and remove any metallic objects. They may require creatinine testing or premedication depending on their health conditions. The scans involve lying still while the machine moves around the patient, and some require holding breath or receiving contrast agents. Most procedures are quick and painless.
Septic arthritis
Septic arthritis is caused by pyogenic organisms invading the joint space. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative organism. Risk factors include poor hygiene, diabetes, immunosuppression, and intravenous drug use. Symptoms include acute painful swelling of one or more joints. Diagnosis involves joint aspiration and examination of fluid. Treatment requires antibiotics, drainage of purulent fluid, and splinting of the affected joint. Complications can include joint damage, deformity, and ankylosis if left untreated.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
