Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis in a Child with Liver Cirrhosis

Membranoproliferative 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...

disseminated strongyloidiasis in a patient with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis-case report.

strongyloides stercoralis (ss) is a unique nematode with an auto infective cycle, so that it completes its life cycle within the human host and can live there for many years. in immunocompromised patients, infection can cause strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome (s.h.s) that is associated with serious morbidity and mortality. as vari-ous infections are one of the leading causes of membranoprol...

Retinal findings in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Purpose To assess the evolution of retinal findings in patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) by funduscopy, intravenous fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. Observations Three women and one man were followed for a period of 1.5-37 years. Four patients (8 eyes) had drusen detected at first fundus exam at age 24, 29, 50 and 55. Three patients (6 eyes...
