A rare presentation of pulmonary hemorrhage with hepatitis C-associated cryoglobulinemia and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
gal thyroiditis caused by Aspergillus. Blood vessels were invaded by the hyphae of the fungus (Figure 1). A culture of the aspirated fluid showed no growth. The results of repeated tests with an Aspergillus antigen (galactomannan) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were negative. There was no evidence of aspergillosis in the other organs. Blood and sputum cultures were negative. Intraven...
متن کاملRituximab therapy for hepatitis C virus‐associated cryoglobulinemic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia is the most common form of kidney disease observed in relation to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against CD20, is an effective treatment for severe and/or refractory HCV-related vasculitis and may evade the need for dialysis as in our patient.
متن کاملHepatitis B Virus - associated Glomerulonephritis
H B virus (HBV) infection has been shown to induce several extra-hepatic lesions, especially through deposition of immune complexes in different organs (1-5). The exact mechanisms through which certain patients with chronic HBV infection develop glomerulonephritis are not well understood. However, several reports have suggested a role for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The diagnosis of HB...

متن کاملImatinib suppresses cryoglobulinemia and secondary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Imatinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of c-Abl, c-Kit, and PDGF receptors. We tested the protective effects of imatinib in thymic stromal lymphopoietin transgenic mice, a model of cryoglobulinemia and associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), in which some glomerular manifestations likely result from PDGF receptor activation. Surprising, adm...
