BACKGROUND IgG4-related disease is a novel disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and tissue infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells. Typical renal pathology is tubulointerstitial nephritis with storiform fibrosis, although the co-existence of various glomerular lesions has been described.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) refers to glomerular pathology in which there is thickening of the capillary wall together with mesangial expansion. In this article we firstly review the pathological features of MPGN and discuss how advances in our understanding of the association between abnormalities in the regulation of complement and MPGN have revealed limitations in the his...
