Comparative study of IgA nephropathy with and without crescents.
Glomerular crescents were analyzed as a prognostic factor in retrospectively reviewed data from 144 patients with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy. Crescents were found in 26 (18%) patients, and detected in 2 to 100% of glomeruli in each specimen. In 5% of the patients more than 50% of the glomeruli were affected. Thirty patients with IgA nephropathy without crescents were studied as a control gro...
متن کاملFactors predicting survival after post-transplant hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence
BACKGROUND Although factors associated with an increased risk of recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been extensively studied, the history of patients with a post-transplant recurrence is poorly known. METHODS Patients experiencing a post-transplant HCC recurrence from 1996 to 2011 in two transplant programs were included. Demographic, transplant, an...
متن کاملA Multicenter Study of the Predictive Value of Crescents in IgA Nephropathy.
The Oxford Classification of IgA nephropathy does not account for glomerular crescents. However, studies that reported no independent predictive role of crescents on renal outcomes excluded individuals with severe renal insufficiency. In a large IgA nephropathy cohort pooled from four retrospective studies, we addressed crescents as a predictor of renal outcomes and determined whether the fract...
متن کاملClinical outcomes of IgA nephropathy patients with different proportions of crescents
Crescents involving more than 50% of glomeruli in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) signify a rapid deterioration of renal function. However, little is known about the prognosis of IgAN patients presenting crescents in less than 50% of glomeruli. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of IgAN patients with different proportions of crescents.From January 2000 to Decemb...
متن کاملMembranous nephropathy with crescents.
Membranous nephropathy is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and can be primary or secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic infection, or drugs. Rapid decline in renal function in patients with membranous nephropathy may be due to renal vein thrombosis, malignant hypertension, or an additional superimposed destructive process involving the renal parenchyma. Crescents are r...
