Pathophysiology
It is believed that glomerular inflammation requires the activation of both the humoral and the cell-mediated immune system.(3) Various glomerular disease have different pathophysiology, but the final cellular changes, immunological activation, and renal scarring are shared outcomes.
Role of Antibodies
Immunological mechanisms mediated by antibodies are required in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. Antibodies are thought to bind either intrinsic glomerular components or specific compounds with unique physiochemical features that are present surrounding the glomerulus. Type IV collagen is an intrinsic glomerular component involved in Goodpasture's syndrome; whereas histone-DNA complexes in systemic lupus erythematosus are not intrinsic compounds to the glomerulus.[1][2][3] However, presence of antibodies alone is not sufficient for glomerular inflammation. Complexes formed by the antibody-antigen complexes must in fact be able to evade clearance by the reticuloendothelial system to effectively deposit at the glomerulus.[1][4]
Role of T Cells
T cells are important for inducing glomerular hypercellularity.[5] T cells are present in both proliferative and non-proliferative glomerular diseases.[6] Pro-inflammatory pathways are activated following initial injury to induce further synthesis of cytokines, complement activation, influx of circulating leukocytes, release of proteolytic enzymes, and activation of coagulation pathway.[7][8] These changes make the glomerular cell itself, in addition to the infiltrating glomerular cells, an active component of destruction and subsequent restoration.[8][9][10]
Matrix Remodeling
Matrix remodeling is in part involved in the activation and proliferation of glomerular cells. The resident and the infiltrating cells will both receive unique signals following matrix remodeling that are involved in the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in these cells.[1]
Adaptive Mechanisms
Due to ongoing injury, adaptive changes take place in order to help in the resolution of glomerulonephritis. Hyperfiltration, intraglomerular hypertension, and irregular intravascular stress and shear are all processes that may on one hand worsen the renal injury, but are also crucial for the remainder of the functioning glomerulus.[8][9][10][11]
Resolution of Disease
Apoptosis, defined as programmed cell death, plays a significant role in defining the resolution of disease and in the renal scarring following glomerulonephritis.[12]
