Leishmaniasis-Associated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis With Massive Complement Deposition
INTRODUCTION M embranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a pattern of injury characterized by mesangial and endocapillary proliferation, double contours along the capillary walls, and lobular accentuation of the capillary tufts. Based on pathophysiology, MPGN is classified into MPGN mediated by immune complexes and Igs and complement-mediated MPGN. Immune complex/Ig–mediated MPGN most o...
متن کاملA case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated withcurved fibril deposition
BACKGROUND It is sometimes challenging to diagnose unsusual cases of fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) and immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG), the rare causes of nephrotic syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-old Japanese woman presented with nephrotic syndrome, microhematuria and renal insufficiency. Renal biopsy revealed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with IgM and weak C...
متن کاملClassical complement pathway activation in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Levels of components of the classical and alternative complement pathways and the activity of the C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF) were measured in serum specimens from patients with type I (subendothelial deposits) and type II (intramembranous dense deposits) membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and the results compared with the levels in normal subjects. Although C3 and C5 concentration...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Rosai-Dorfman disease
Rosai-Dorfman disease is also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease has been reported in ~ 43% of cases; the most frequent extranodal sites - skin, soft tissue, bone, respiratory tract, and eye - are usually involved in association with lymphadenopathy. Lack of lymph node involvement is rare, especially when patients manifest renal disease. ...
متن کاملC4B deficiency associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
A 10-year-old girl was noted to have microscopic hematuria and proteinuria in 1986. As her urinary abnormalities were persistent, she underwent a renal biopsy on 4 occasions until 2003. Although the appearances of the renal biopsies were strongly suspicious of systemic lupus erythematosus, she never exhibited specific autoantibodies or distinctive symptoms. She received corticosteroid therapy a...
