CASE PRESENTATION Dr AMINA DALEEL History taken on 10 th of June
History Patient profile:- Name: Miss Lubna Age: 28 years sex: female Marital status: married Occupation: housewife Address(R/O):Gujranwala Mode of admission(MOA): 0PD Date of admission(DOA): 10th of June 24 Time:11:00 am
PRESENTING COMPLAINTS B/L PEDAL SWELLING …..ON AND OFF LAST 2 MONTHS RECURRENT RT AND LEFT FLANK PAIN …SINCE 01 MONTH PAIN LEFT FLANK ---- 3 days
HOPC: According to my patient, she was doing well 2 months back when she traveled to Karachi from Gujranwala by air and suddenly developed massive B/L pedal swelling that is not painful, limited to feet settled spontaneously within a day. Then one month back (10 th May) she suddenly developed right flank pain of severe intensity, non-radiating, non-shifting continuous for many hours, pricking in character with no aggravating factor, and wasn’t relieved by multiple pain relieving injectables from a local hospital. Associated with pain was mild B/L pedal swelling and frothy urine.
In the same duration , she visited NHMC OPD got some home medication with some investigations advised , and went back home with follow-up advice after one week . Pedal swelling settled a lot with medications and then one month later on 8 th June(3 days back) she developed sudden severe left- flank pain severe In intensity continued for many hours, pricking in character non-radiating, non-shifting, with no aggravating factor not relieved by any pain relieving injectable. Associated history of frothy urine , and loss of appetite . HOPC:

Classification on basis of etiology
1. Primary Glomerular disease Minimal change nephropathy Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis Membranous GN (MOST COMMON CAUSE N ADULTS >40 YR)
CLINICAL FEATURES Edema Malnutrition Features of underlying causes like SLE and DM Hypercoagulibility Infections
INVESTIGATIONS URINE ANALYSIS …PROTEINURIA 24 HOURS URINARY PROTEIN …..>3G/DAY SERUM ALBUMIN ….less than <3g/dl and total protein < 6 mg/dl Low-density lipoprotein : LDL INCREASED BUT HDL usually normal Raised ESR due to increased serum fibrinogen activity
Cause-related: Blood sugar for diabetes HBA1C ANA for SLE Hep B serology Serum complements Serological testing for syphilis, HIV INVESTIGATIONS Age and risk-appropriate cancer screening An elevated titer of circulating PLA2R antibodies , diagnostic for primary membranous nephropathy, eliminated the need for biopsy Renal biopsy
When not to do a Biopsy ? Kidney biopsy is usually performed in adults with new-onset idiopathic nephrotic syndrome of a primary renal disease that may require immunosuppressant therapy is suspected Chronically and significantly decreased GFR indicates irreversible kidney disease mitigating the usefulness of kidney biopsy In the setting of long-lasting DM+ type 1 or 2, proteinuric renal disease is rarely biopsied unless atypical features such as significant glomerular hematuria or cellular casts are also present or if other reason to suspect additional renal lesions.
Treatment Secondary cause must be considered before consideration of treatment. Primary disease treatment depends on the risk of renal disease progression. Most have a good prognosis with conservative management, including antiproteinuric therapy with ACE inhibitors or ARBS of blood pressure over 125/75 mmHg.
Spontaneous remission may develop even with heavy proteinuria in about n 30 % of cases. Then the use Of immunosuppressive agents should be limited to those at high risk of progression and with salvageable renal function Treatment
Treatment Patients with nephrotic syndrome despite 6 months of conservative management and serum creatinine less than 3 mg/dl may elect therapy with rituximab or with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide for 6 months Calcineurin inhibitors with or without corticosteroids may be considered well Patients with primary membranous nephropathy are excellent candidates for renal transplant
Edema : Dietary salt restriction Combination of loop and thiazide diuretics for refractory fluid retention . Treatment
Protein loss : Dietary protein restriction Anti- Proteinuric therapy ACE inhibitors ARBS Mineralocorticoid receptors antagonists SGLT2 inhibitors Treatment
Treatment Hyperlipidemia (hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia) Dietary modification and exercise Lipid-lowering drugs Treatment
Hypercoagulable state: Warfarin therapy for at least 3 to 6 months Treatment
Outpatient therapy mostly For edema refractory to medications or worsening kidney function required admission . Treatment
