Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to monoclonal gammopathy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis characterized by subendothelial and mesangial deposition of immune complexes. Autoimmune diseases and chronic infections, such as hepatitis C, are commonly recognized causes of MPGN; however, monoclonal gammopathy is a less widely recognized cause of MPGN. DESIGN, SETTING...
متن کاملImatinib suppresses cryoglobulinemia and secondary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Imatinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of c-Abl, c-Kit, and PDGF receptors. We tested the protective effects of imatinib in thymic stromal lymphopoietin transgenic mice, a model of cryoglobulinemia and associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), in which some glomerular manifestations likely result from PDGF receptor activation. Surprising, adm...
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...
متن کاملMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
Glomerulonephritis (GN) encompasses a wide variety of primary and secondary diseases that cause injury to the functioning unit of the kidney, the glomerulus. The many classifications of GN sometimes lead to confusion. This case study describes an individual with membranoproliferative GN and includes discussion of classification, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.
متن کاملSjögren Syndrome-Related Membranous Glomerulonephritis Progressing to Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
We report a case of glomerulopathy in a 36-year-old Japanese woman with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). The first renal biopsy suggested membranous glomerulonephritis. However, repeat biopsy was performed after 16 years because of increased proteinuria, revealing membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits, subendothelial deposits, and subepithelial deposits. Immunofluoresc...
