Glomerular diseases: FSGS.
FSGS is a lesion, not a disease. The separation into primary FSGS (a result of immunologic-mediated injury) versus secondary FSGS (related to a variety of causes) is often difficult. Even when this particular issue is carefully evaluated, the therapeutic implications are not always apparent. Newer literature on both biomarker discovery and on the genetic basis of FSGS is reviewed in this contex...
متن کاملRecurrence of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) after renal transplantation.
Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a pathological term to indicate glomerular lesions associated with distinctive clinical features. In most cases, FSGS is primary in nature and is called idiopathic. Idiopathic FSGS is often associated with a nephrotic syndrome (NS) and may affect both children and adults. While the prognosis of FSGS is relatively good for patients with subnephrotic...
متن کاملComplement and glomerular diseases.
The complement pathway is a central part of the innate immune system and also modulates adaptive immunity. It is implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerular disease by a number of clinical findings. These include the presence of complement components in renal biopsy samples, decreases in circulating levels indicating consumption, the presence of autoantibodies to complement proteins and the as...
متن کاملHeparanase in glomerular diseases.
Heparanase is an endo-beta(1-4)-D-glucuronidase that degrades heparan sulfate (HS) polysaccharide side chains. The role of heparanase in metastasis, angiogenesis, and inflammation has been established. Recent data suggest a role for heparanase in several proteinuric diseases and an increased glomerular heparanase expression is associated with loss of HS in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM)...
متن کاملIgA localisation in glomerular diseases.
The structural changes found on light and electron microscopy study of 25 renal biopsy specimens that showed significant glomerular IgA deposition on immunofluorescence were correlated with relevant clinical data. The morphology of a wide range of glomerulopathies seeen included mesangial proliferative (60%), membranous (12%), rapidly progressive proliferative (8%), mesangio-capillary (8%), and...
