Glomerular complement components in human glomerulonephritis.
154 of 255 individual human renal biopsies studied by immunofluorescence contained varying combinations of immunoglobulins (Ig), complement (C) components C1q, C3, C4, C5, C6, C8, C3 proactivator (C3PA), and/or properdin. 10 patients had linear deposits of Ig in glomeruli characteristic of antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies; nine patients had C3 deposits (minimal in three) with g...
متن کاملGlomerular deposition of mannose-binding lectin in human glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family, binds to various oligosaccharides and activates the classical pathway of complement independent from C1q. At present it is unknown whether this so-called lectin pathway of complement activation plays a role in the pathogenesis of human glomerulonephritis. METHODS Direct immunofluorescence of 84 renal biopsies using an ...
متن کاملGlomerular damage in experimental proliferative glomerulonephritis under glomerular capillary hypertension.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Immunologically and hemodynamically mediated the destruction of glomerular architecture is thought to be the major causes of end-stage renal failure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of glomerular hypertension on glomerular injury and the progression of glomerular sclerosis after Thy-1 nephritis was induced. METHOD Thy-1 nephritis was induced in the stroke-p...
متن کاملC3 Glomerulonephritis: Clinicopathologic findings, complement abnormalities, glomerular proteomic profile, treatment and follow-up
C3 Glomerulonephritis (C3GN) is a recently described disorder that typically results from abnormalities in the alternative pathway of complement. Here, we describe the clinical features, kidney biopsy findings, alternative pathway abnormalities, glomerular proteomic profile, and follow-up in 12 cases of C3GN. This disorder equally affected all ages, both genders, and typically presented with he...
متن کاملC3 glomerulonephritis: clinicopathological findings, complement abnormalities, glomerular proteomic profile, treatment, and follow-up.
C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) is a recently described disorder that typically results from abnormalities in the alternative pathway (AP) of complement. Here, we describe the clinical features, kidney biopsy findings, AP abnormalities, glomerular proteomic profile, and follow-up in 12 cases of C3GN. This disorder equally affected all ages, both genders, and typically presented with hematuria and ...
