Glomerulonephritis with associated hypocomplementemia and crescents: an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis.
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis is an unusual, but not rare cause of glomerulonephritis. Hypocomplementemia in association with fibrillary glomerulonephritis has been reported only once previously. A patient with hypocomplementemia and fibrillary deposits as demonstrated by electronmicroscopy is reported. The clinical and pathologic features of fibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glom...
متن کاملOutcome of fibrillary glomerulonephritis.
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY We assessed the long-term follow up of all the patients with fibrillary glomerulonephritis diagnosed since 1992 at our centre of reference for renal pathology in Basel. METHODS We performed a retrospective surveillance study with mail questionnaire based follow-up of all patients with the diagnosis of fibrillary glomerulonephritis found in the database of the department ...
متن کاملImmuotactoid glomerulopathy (fibrillary glomerulonephritis).
I mmunotactoid glomerulopathy first was described in 1977, when Rosenmann and Eliakim (1) reported an unusual glomerular lesion in a 45-yr-old woman who presented with the nephrotic syndrome and renal insufficiency. The electron microscopy was remarkable for organized electron-dense deposits in the form of randomly arranged fibrils that measured 10 nM in diameter. The deposits were associated w...
متن کاملFibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glomerulopathy.
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis is a now widely recognized diagnostic entity, occurring in approximately 1% of native kidney biopsies in several large biopsy series obtained from Western countries. The distinctive features are infiltration of glomerular structures by randomly arranged fibrils similar in appearance but larger than amyloid fibrils and the lack of staining with histochemical dyes ty...
متن کاملFibrillary and immunotactoid glomerulonephritis: Distinct entities with different clinical and pathologic features.
BACKGROUND Controversy surrounds the relatedness of fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) and immunotactoid glomerulonephritis (IT). METHODS To better define their clinicopathologic features and outcome, we report the largest single center series of 67 cases biopsied from 1980 to 2001, including 61 FGN and 6 IT. FGN was defined by glomerular immune deposition of Congo red-negative randomly orie...
