A case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated withcurved fibril deposition
BACKGROUND It is sometimes challenging to diagnose unsusual cases of fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) and immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG), the rare causes of nephrotic syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-old Japanese woman presented with nephrotic syndrome, microhematuria and renal insufficiency. Renal biopsy revealed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with IgM and weak C...
متن کاملLeishmaniasis-Associated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis With Massive Complement Deposition
INTRODUCTION M embranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a pattern of injury characterized by mesangial and endocapillary proliferation, double contours along the capillary walls, and lobular accentuation of the capillary tufts. Based on pathophysiology, MPGN is classified into MPGN mediated by immune complexes and Igs and complement-mediated MPGN. Immune complex/Ig–mediated MPGN most o...

متن کاملMembranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) refers to glomerular pathology in which there is thickening of the capillary wall together with mesangial expansion. In this article we firstly review the pathological features of MPGN and discuss how advances in our understanding of the association between abnormalities in the regulation of complement and MPGN have revealed limitations in the his...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Glomerulonephritis (GN) encompasses a wide variety of primary and secondary diseases that cause injury to the functioning unit of the kidney, the glomerulus. The many classifications of GN sometimes lead to confusion. This case study describes an individual with membranoproliferative GN and includes discussion of classification, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.
