CHAPTER 8
,CLASSIFICATION
• Glomerular disorders
• Tubular disorders
• Interstitial disorders
• Renal lithiasis
,GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
• Majority are of immune origin
• Immune complexes from immunologic disorders
throughout the body
• Increased serum IgA
• Immune system mediators—complement, etc
• Nonimmunologic
• Chemicals and toxins, deposition of amyloid material
and acute phase reactants, electrical charge
interference, membrane thickening
, GLOMERULAR DISORDERS
(CONT’D)
• Glomerulonephritis
• General term for sterile, inflammatory process affecting
the glomerulus
• Causes blood, protein, and casts in urine
• Types of glomerulonephritis progress through
various disorders
• Acute glomerulonephritis to chronic glomerulonephritis
