Fundus changes in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II: vitreous fluorophotometry.
We have described a complex abnormality of retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) type II. Patients with MCGN type II were examined by vitreous fluorophotometry which reveals that there is a breakdown of the blood retinal barrier (BRB) in those patients with the typical fundus lesions. The function of this barrier was ca...
متن کاملElectrophysiology of type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis with associated fundus abnormalities.
The retinal electrophysiology is reported in four patients with type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and partial lipodystrophy with associated fundus abnormalities and no visual symptoms. The histological hallmark of the condition is that of widespread electron dense deposits in the renal glomerulus and in the choriocapillaris and Bruch's membrane of the eye. Three of the four patients ...
متن کاملFundus changes in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II: clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings.
Previously we have demonstrated a deposit in Bruch's membrane in a single case of mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II. We studied a group of patients with this disease and described extensive clinical and fluorescein angiographic abnormalities, which were in marked contrast to the findings in a group of patients with other forms of glomerulonephritis. This finding contributes to our un...
متن کاملMesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
The clinical and histological features of idiopathic mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) have been reviewed, with a survey of the most recent literature, including the retrospective analysis of the data of the Italian Study Group of Renal Immunopathology on 368 patients. In both major types of MCGN, six morphological variants have been characterized (classical MCGN, nodular MCGN, exudat...
متن کامل[Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II and macular degeneration].
CASE REPORT We report a 34-year-old woman with biopsy proven type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCG II) who had an ophthalmic fundal appearance similar to that seen in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). DISCUSSION All patients with MCG II should be reviewed regularly by an ophthalmologist to assess and treat any retinal complications.
