Differentials• Emotional stress• Exercise• Fever• UTI• Orthostatic• Seizures• Focal
segmental glomerulonephritis• IgA nephropathy (ie Berger's
disease)• IgM nephropathy• Membranoproliferative
glomerulonephritis• Membranous nephropathy• Minimal change disease• Haemoglobinuria• Multiple myeloma• Myoglobinuria• Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia
• Alport's syndrome• Amyloidosis• Sarcoidosis• Drugs (eg non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), penicillamine,gold, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors)
• Anderson-Fabry disease• Sickle cell disease• Malignancies (eg lymphoma,
solid tumours)• Infections
(eg HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, post-streptococcal infection)

Differentials•Transient – exercise, stress, UTI•Primary glomerular disease – minimal
change, FSGS•Secondary glomerular disease – drugs
(e.g. NSAIDS), infx (e.g. HIV/hepatitis), sarcoid
•Tubular – drugs•Serum excess – multiple myeloma•Other – pre-eclampsia

Nephrotic syndrome•Kidney disease leading to proteinuria,
hypoalbuminaemia, oedema & lipiduria•Proteinuria - >3g per day•Damage to glomerular basement
membrane causes increased permeability•This causes proteinuria →
hypoalbuminaemia →oedema
![Page 8: Nephrotic /nephritic syndrome](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061406/5681649b550346895dd67828/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nephrotic syndrome•Kidney disease leading to proteinuria,
hypoalbuminaemia, oedema & hyperlipidaemia
•Proteinuria - >3g per day•Damage to glomerular basement
membrane causes increased permeability•This causes proteinuria →
hypoalbuminaemia →oedema

Nephritic syndrome•Collection of findings associated with
glomerular inflammation and glomerulonephritis
•Features:▫Haematuria & red cell casts▫Proteinuria▫Hypertension▫Uraemia▫Oliguria
![Page 12: Nephrotic /nephritic syndrome](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061406/5681649b550346895dd67828/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Causes1. Post-streptococcal2. Primary:
▫ Membranous glomerulonephritis▫ Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis▫ IgA nephropathy (Berger’s disease)
3. Secondary▫ HSP▫ Vasculitis

Scenario• A 12 year old male with dark "cola coloured" urine for 2
days• Well until 14 days ago - had a sore throat and fever –
resolved without medical input • Now facial puffiness and nonspecific abdominal pain.• Dark brown urine, voiding less, normal smell• Reduced appetite, lethargy, back pain• Normally fit & well, no other symptoms• Examination reveals only mild periorbital oedema Urine dip: blood +++, protein +Urine microscopy - RBCs are too numerous to count, RBC
castsFBC & U&E normal, ASO titre high, complement C3 low
![Page 21: Nephrotic /nephritic syndrome](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061406/5681649b550346895dd67828/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Key points•Nephrotic syndrome – heavy proteinuria,
nephritis (nephritic syndrome) – haematuria
•Always do a urine dip for patients with oedema
•Important complications include infection and hypoercoagulability
