Clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes of renal thrombotic microangiopathy in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) has been mainly reported in isolated case reports. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical and pathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients with renal TMA in ANCA-associated GN in a large cohort of Chinese patients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Clinical and renal histo...
متن کاملanti neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies in uveitis
anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies have been detected in patients with some autoimmune and vascular diseases such as wegner's granulomatosis, polyarthritis nodosa and systemic lupus erythematosus. indirect immunofluorescence technique has been employed to detect these autoantibodies. by this method, two general patterns of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were seen: a cytoplasmic (...
متن کاملThrombotic microangiopathy and associated renal disorders*
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a pathological process involving thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and microvascular occlusion. TMA is common to haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) associated with shiga toxin or invasive pneumococcal infection, atypical HUS (aHUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and other disorders including malignant hypertension. HUS complicat...
متن کاملHow anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies activate neutrophils.
Neutrophils are pivotal to host defence during infectious diseases. However, activated neutrophils may also cause undesired tissue damage. Ample examples include small-vessel inflammatory diseases (vasculitis) that are associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) residing in the patients' plasma. In addition to being an important diagnostic tool, convincing evidence shows t...
متن کاملProgressive bevacizumab-associated renal thrombotic microangiopathy*
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is integral to the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier. Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against VEGF with expanding clinical applications for metastatic solid tumours. We describe a case of a 61-year-old female with ovarian cancer and baseline chronic kidney disease who received three doses of bevacizumab and subsequen...
