Immune Complex Glomerulonephritis in a Cat with Renal Lymphosarcoma

Proliferative, necrotizing and crescentic immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis in a cat

CASE SUMMARY A 5-year-old cat was examined for vomiting and anorexia of 2 days' duration. Azotemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypoalbuminemia were the main biochemical findings. Serial analyses of the urine revealed isosthenuria, proteinuria and eventual glucosuria. Hyperechoic perirenal fat was detected surrounding the right kidney by ultrasonography. Histopathologic evaluation of ante-mortem ultr...

IgE and immune complex glomerulonephritis.

A case is presented of immune complex proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with peripheral eosinophilia, renal deposits of IgE, and eosinophils in glomeruli and interstitial tissue. Two sequential renal specimens are described. This study also reviews prior reports of IgE in glomerulonephritis and discusses possible explanations for the presence of IgE.

Immune-complex deposits in pANCA glomerulonephritis: a pediatric case report.

A 15-year-old boy is admitted to the hospital for clinical signs that suggest a pulmonary-renal syndrome (fever, cough, hemopthoic expectoration, oliguria, gross hematuria). A crescentic pANCA positive glomerulonephritis was configured. However, dense subendothelial deposits were identified in electronic microscopy and immunofluorescence staining showed granular deposits of IgG and C3, kappa an...
