Antiglomerular basement membrane antibody-mediated nephritis in two patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
Key words: antiglomerular basement membrane anti-previously. One year before admission, a routine body-mediated nephritis; diabetes mellitus; glom-analysis had shown serum creatinine 1.6 mg/dl erulonephritis (141.4 mmol/l). On admission, the patient's blood pressure was 160/70 mmHg, heart rate 84/min, and temperature 36.8°C; there was moderate diabetic retinopathy. The
متن کاملAtypical Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease With IgG1-κ Staining
INTRODUCTION A ntiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is an autoimmune disease that classically presents as a rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis, with or without pulmonary hemorrhage, and typically does not relapse. The anti-GBM autoantibodies, typically polyclonal IgG1 and IgG4, bind to the noncollagenous 1 domain of the alpha-3 chain of type IV collagen that is present o...
متن کاملThe Sequential Development of Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Nephritis and Myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis
A 55-year-old woman presented with deafness, increased levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), and renal insufficiency with proteinuria and hematuria. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis with the linear deposition of immunoglobulin G along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and peritubular capillaritis. The anti-GBM antibody levels on admi...
متن کاملDysfunction of glomerular fibrinolysis in experimental antiglomerular basement membrane antibody glomerulonephritis.
Glomerular plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) steady-state mRNA and bioactivity were increased after the induction of an augmented form of antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody glomerulonephritis. PAI-1 mRNA expression was noted at 6 h, peaking at 1 day, and although falling thereafter, remained higher than that of the control group through Day 17. PAI-1 mRNA expression correla...
متن کاملA Case of Alport Syndrome with Posttransplant Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease despite Negative Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Antibodies by EIA Treated with Plasmapheresis and Intravenous Immunoglobulin
Posttransplant antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease occurs in approximately 5% of Alport patients and usually ends in irreversible graft failure. Recent research has focused on characterizing the structure of the anti-GBM alloepitope. Here we present a case of a 22-year-old male with end-stage renal disease secondary to Alport syndrome, with a previously failed renal allograft, w...
