Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis complicating diabetic nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Renal diseases other than diabetic nephropathy can be found in diabetic patients who have undergone renal biopsy. Various forms of primary and secondary glomerular diseases were reported, but membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis was rare. METHODS Analyzing data at our Department for the past three years, we noted 18 patients with primary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with masked monotypic immunoglobulin deposits
The diagnosis of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) has recently undergone change from an electron microscopy-based classification scheme to one based largely on immunofluorescence findings. This change is due to the recognition that many of these cases are driven by abnormalities of the alternative complement cascade, resulting in the concept of C3 glomerulopathy. Here we reviewed...
متن کاملIgA Nephropathy with Pathologic Features of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis following Burn Injury
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, accounting for approximately 30-40% of patients undergoing renal biopsy in Asia. The characteristic and diagnostic lesion of IgAN is the deposition of glomerular IgA. The morphological lesions observed by light microscopy are extremely variable. A causal relationship between IgAN and burn injury has not been establi...
متن کاملAn allograft kidney showing both features of IgA nephropathy and membranous glomerulonephritis--a case report.
We report a case of glomerular disease with both mesangial IgA and subepithelial IgG deposits in the allograft kidney. The patient was a 36 year-old man who had received a renal allograft 1 year previously. Fifteen days before admission, he discovered a microscopic hematuria without clinical evidences of allograft rejection. Light microscopy showed diffuse increase of mesangial matrix without m...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
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...
