⚠️ #association_of
👉“flash” pulmonary oedema
👁sudden onset breathlessness
👁cough frothy pink sputum
👉hypertension in young patient (˂ 50 y)
👉no obvious cardiovascular risk factors
#Think #RAS fibromuscular dysplasia

#Do MR Angiograghy
#TTT: Angioplasty.

#Pearls_in_Nephrology

#IgA_nephropathy
👉commonest cause of glomerulonephritis
👉common during the 2nd; 3rd decade of life.
👉commonly occurs #within 2 days of an onset of an URTI (sore throat, pharyngitis).
👉#normal_C3
👉diagnosed by a renal biopsy
(mesangial IgA deposition).
👉There is considerable #overlap with #HSP
(arthritis, rash, abdominal pain,
nephritis)

#Presentations:
➡️Young male ;more common in males
➡️Recurrent episodes of
painless macroscopic haematuria
➡️within 24-48 hours after URTI
(sore throat, pharyngitis).
➡️may present with proteinuria, renal failure
or hypertension.
➡️ #Good_prognosis
with normal BP, renal function and absence
of proteinuria at presentation.

#Management:
🧐treatment is conservative.
🧐 #If the proteinuria is < 3 g/day
➡️ACEIs used to reduce progression of
proteinuria.
🧐 #If nephrotic range proteinuria (>3 g/day)
➡️8-12 week course of prednisolone.
🧐 #If crescenteric nephritis on biopsy
➡️IV pulse steroid + cyclophosphamide.

#Pearls_in_Nephrology

#Post_streptococcal_glomerulonephritis
👉associated with low complement (C3).
👉Main symptom in is proteinuria
(haematuria can occur).
👉typical interval 1_3 weeks
between URTI (sore throat)
and the onset of renal problems
👉#Renal_biopsy Not required.
➡️LM: wire-loop lesion
➡️EM: Humps in the subepitheilal space.

Patients are stratified for risk of death as follows:

0: low risk (less than 1% mortality risk)

1 or 2: intermediate risk (1-10% mortality risk)

3 or 4: high risk (more than 10% mortality risk). https://t.co/pZQ5BjtoIW
