00:00 Corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide. 00:02 Subendothelial deposits is what we're looking at here on electron microscopy. 00:07 Same thing, get in the habit of doing this quickly. 00:10 The more number of times you go to the protocol the better off you’ll be. 00:13 You’ll find your glomerular basement membrane paved road. 00:16 Number two, you look for the foot processes. 00:18 Well, there’s nothing underneath the foot process because this is DPGN. 00:24 Which gives you what? The title of the slide is subendothelial. 00:28 So therefore, you would find this underneath the endothelial cell. 00:31 Thin rim of normal basement membrane, it separates the epithelial side from the obviously the endothelial side. 00:41 Patient has diffused proliferative glomerulonephritis and as we talked about the prototype here, will be SLE. 00:49 If you pay attention, this is your electron microscopy with subendothelial DPGN. 00:55 As you see here on light microscopy, there’s going to be diffused proliferation. 01:00 There is going to be hypercellularity and there’s neutrophils within the mesangium. 01:05 What’s your mesangium? Basically, think of it as being the supportive infrastructure of your glomerulus, which then properly support your glomerular capillaries and all. 01:14 Also, it very much behaves like smooth muscle in which it will contract when need be.

Included Quiz Questions
Where are immune complex deposits found on electron microscopy in diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis?
- Subendothelial
- Subepithelial
- More than one answer is correct
- Intermembranous
- Mesangial
Which of the following is NOT a similarity between diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis?
- Both involve activation of the alternative complement pathway
- Both involve immune complex deposition
- Both show a granular pattern on immunofluorescence
- Both may present with between 150 mg–3.5 g/day of protein in the urine
- Both present with hematuria
Which antibody is commonly associated with SLE associated diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis?
- Anti-dsDNA antibodies
- Anti-streptokinase
- Anti-Ro antibodies
- Anti-smith antibodies
- Anti-DNase B antibodies
What is the recommended treatment regimen for patients presenting with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis?
- Corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide
- Corticosteroids and NSAIDs
- Watchful waiting, it usually resolves on its own
- ACE inhibitors and cyclophosphamide
- Dialysis is the only treatment
Which of the following statements about SLE associated diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis is INCORRECT?
- It is the only type of glomerulonephritis caused by SLE
- It is associated with “wire looping” of capillaries
- It often evolves into chronic renal failure
- Hypercellularity of the glomerulus is seen on light microscopy
- Serum ANA test has a “rim” pattern
