A Case of Membranous Glomerulonephritis with Superimposed Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Rapidly Progressive Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (IMGN) is commonly diagnosed in adults with proteinuria. Rapid deterioration of renal function is a rare complication of IMGN, except when accompanied by renal vein thrombosis, malignant hypertension, or other underlying disease, including lupus nephritis. Here, we present a case of rapid deterioration of renal function in a patient with MGN superimposed...
متن کاملFibrillary glomerulonephritis: presenting as crescentic glomerulonephritis causing rapidly progressive renal failure
We report an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) presenting as rapidly progressive renal failure and extensive crescent formation along with linear staining of capillary walls of the glomeruli on immunofluorescence, mimicking anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody-mediated disease. Laboratory results for circulating anti-GBM antibodies were negative. The subsequen...
متن کاملRapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis are a group of renal diseases which are still posing serious threat to human health and survival. They are all characterised by acute and rapid deterioration of renal function. Renal biopsy reveals extracapillary glomerulonephritis, most frequently circumferential and diffuse, and immunofluorescence findings continue to represent the most important clue to...

small meals (owing to distortion of the stomach and cardio-oesophageal junction); and (5) an abdominal fluid thrill but no shifting dullness, indicating a localised collection of fluid and clotted blood. The likely pathogenesis of the haemorrhage is over-distension of the stomach with tearing of a small blood vessel in the lesser omentum. The blood tracks inferiorly, stripping peritoneum from t...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria.
A 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease was admitted because of hemoptysis and acute renal failure. A chest X-ray showed interstitial infiltration over bilateral lung fields. Kidney biopsy showed immune complex-mediated acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with 48% crescents and glomerular endocapillary hypercellularity wi...
