00:01 Thickening at the basement membrane with MPGN, formation of tram-track either type I or type II, can be primary or secondary. 00:08 Immune complex will be the most common. 00:11 That will be type I as we have discussed. 00:13 CLL, lymphoma, melanoma. 00:16 All of these, once again, associations. 00:18 Clinical features could be nephritic, nephrotic, or mixed. 00:22 Decrease serum C3, much more so with type II. 00:26 Prognosis, slowly progressive course. 00:29 Many of your patients within 10 years will go into chronic renal failure. 00:34 Overall picture of MPGN. 00:36 Where do you begin your biopsy and pattern differentiation? At the level of electron microscopy. 00:42 Know the flow chart well that I showed you earlier between the two. 00:45 Know the details that we walk through here, with type I and type II. 00:50 Type I, sub-endothelial, striking tram-track. 00:54 Type II, dense deposit disease. 00:57 Nephritic factor, what does it do? It then causes stabilization and deposition, less striking tram-track but both will have it. 01:06 Clinically characterized by, decrease levels of C3, type II complement mediated damage. 01:14 On your upper left in the cartoon, type I sub-endothelial, type II intramembranous. 01:22 That intra membranous, upon electron microscopy, will then show you dense deposit disease. 01:27 The one on your left represents sub-endothelial. 01:33 Let’s do the pattern organization. 01:35 I don’t wanna get away from that. 01:36 Number one, find the pave road. Where is it? You see that light gray paved road in the membrane? That’s your glomerular basement membrane. 01:49 I would like for you to find feet. 01:52 The feet are on top, that’s your foot processes. 01:57 So that’s the urinary side, upper right. 02:00 Lower side, you’ll find that huge, dark, density? That’s your sub-endothelial deposit, type I. 02:08 You see that membrane? Yeah, Dr. Raj. 02:12 But that looks awfully dark to me? That’s the pathology. Clear? That’s dense deposit disease. That’s type II. 02:19 Where’s the CL? That would be capillary lumen. But who cares? The reason I say that is because it’s deposition of dense amorphous material in your membrane. 02:27 Welcome to type II. 02:30 Can you give me the pathogenesis here. Nephritic factor. 02:34 What does that do? Destroy or stabilize C3 convertase. 02:39 Do you remember? Do you hear my terminology? It stabilizes C3 convertase. Good. Intense. 02:45 But you have to know at least that much to get your questions right.
