A case of lipoprotein glomerulopathy with thrombotic microangiopathy due to malignant hypertension

BACKGROUND Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare inherited renal disease characterized by intraglomerular lipoprotein within the lumina of severely dilated glomerular capillaries. The common clinical presentation of LPG includes proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome. Hypertension and anemia were thought to be mild in LPG. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in LPG has not been previously reported...

Acute renal failure secondary to malignant hypertension induced thrombotic microangiopathy.

T thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) represents a discreet group of disorders with common pathological features including fibrinoid necrosis, endothelial cell injury, and obstruction of vessels.1 The clinical presentation of TMA includes microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and functional impairment of various organ systems. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocy...

A case of pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy.

Pulmonary tumour thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rapidly progressive pulmonary disease that is a fatal complication of malignancy. It manifests clinically as subacute respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension, progressive right sided heart failure, and sudden death. We describe here a case of PTTM associated with occult metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma of the stomach. Although...
