Immune dysregulation in minimal change nephropathy.
Minimal change nephropathy (MCN) has been associated with a wide variety of abnormalities in the immune response of affected individuals. Many of these may be a consequence of the renal lesion, rather than a cause thereof. This article reviews some of these immunological phenomena and concentrates in particular on the imbalance between type 1 and type 2 cytokine responses, suggesting that there...

Nephrotic syndrome is uncommon in IgA nephropathy, and when present, it is usually associated with severe histologic features, such as endocapillary proliferation, segmental sclerosis, and crescent formation. Rarely, patients with IgA nephropathy present with nephrotic syndrome...

متن کاملPathogenesis of minimal change nephrotic syndrome: an immunological concept
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) in children is characterized by massive proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia. Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is the most common form of INS in children. The pathogenesis of MCNS still remains unclear, however, several hypotheses have been recently proposed. For several decades, MCNS has been considered a T-cell disorder, which causes the impairment of th...
متن کاملMinimal change nephropathy associated with anaplastic carcinoma of bronchus.
Nephrotic syndrome associated with extra-renal malignancy shows a characteristic pattern: carcinoma is most frequently associated with membranous glomerulonephritis and Hodgkin's disease with minimal change nephropathy. We report a patient with minimal change nephropathy in association with anaplastic carcinoma of the bronchus. Strong temporal evidence of a causal relationship is presented. The...
