Coeliac sprue-associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN).
Coeliac sprue (CS) may occur in association with immune complex-mediated diseases, including IgA nephropathy, dermatitis herpetiformis and thyroiditis. An association of CS with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 1 is rare, with only two prior cases reported. Here we describe a 45-year-old man with no prior medical history who presented initially with microhaematuria, subnephr...

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 کاملEculizumab in the treatment of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
A major shift in our understanding of the membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) lesion is the focus on which components of the complement pathway are involved in mediating renal injury. Hence, MPGN is no longer classified solely by ultrastructural findings on biopsy but instead divided into immune complex-mediated lesions versus complement-mediated lesions. This emphasis on complement...
متن کاملCyclosporine in the treatment of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND Therapeutic approach to patients with idiopathic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is still controversial. Because it is more common in developing countries, the studies about it are limited. METHODS We used cyclosporine to treat 18 patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis who were resistant to other treatment protocols such as using aspirin, dipyridamole, or s...
