Prognostic factors in mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to examine patients with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), with or without glomerular IgA deposits, and to analyse the effect of different clinical and histopathological variables at the time of biopsy on progression to end-stage renal failure (ESRF) and death. METHODS We retrospectively examined 273 patients who got this diagnosis in Norway ...
متن کاملSystemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis
Despite steroids bolus and azathioprine in Pt2, renal lesions led gradually to end stage renal disease (ESRD) when she was 17. She benefited from kidney transplantation and interestingly both systemic symptoms and renal function are well under triple immunosuppressant (MMF, tacrolimus and steroids) with a follow up of 3 years after transplantation. Pt3 evolved to ESRD despite the use of steroid...

Autopsy findings revealed vasculitis of small and middle size of vessels and there was a deposition of amyloid in the small intestines. Although there were no findings of vasculitis in the kidney, amyloid deposition was noticed ...
متن کاملO-glycosylated IgA rheumatoid factor induces IgA deposits and glomerulonephritis.
Structural aberrations of O-linked glycans present in the IgA1 hinge region are associated with IgA nephropathy, but their contribution to its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. In this study, mice implanted with hybridoma secreting 6-19 IgA anti-IgG2a rheumatoid factor, but not 46-42 IgA rheumatoid factor bearing the same IgA allotype, developed mesangial deposits consisting of IgA,...
متن کاملHaematuria in rheumatoid arthritis: an association with mesangial glomerulonephritis.
Twenty-four patients with rheumatoid arthritis and isolated haematuria were investigated for the cause of their haematuria. In 3 patients local urological disorders were identified, including a pelvicaliceal carcinoma. Renal biopsies were performed on the remaining 21 patients, and the most common abnormality found was a mild mesangial glomerulonephritis (71%). Immunofluorescence and electron m...
