Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis as a Presentation of Atypical Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis
Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) usually occurs within few days to weeks following an infection. Clinical presentation is variable, but in general, it is considered a benign entity with good prognosis. It rarely requires kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. We present a case of a 55-year-old, previously healthy, male who presented for worsening shortness of breath, persistent cough,...
متن کاملRevisiting post-infectious glomerulonephritis in the emerging era of C3 glomerulopathy
BACKGROUND Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) is an immune complex-mediated glomerular injury that typically resolves. Dominant C3 deposition is characteristic of PIGN, but with the emergence of C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) as a distinct entity, it is unclear how the pathologic similarities between PIGN and C3GN should be reconciled. Therefore, nephrologists and nephropathologists need a...
متن کاملC3 glomerulonephritis in multiple myeloma
BACKGROUND C3 glomerulonephritis (C3 GN) is a recently defined entity characterized by predominant C3 deposition in glomeruli due to abnormal activation of the alternative pathway of complement system. C3 GN has been reported to be associated with several systemic diseases. However, the association between C3 GN and multiple myeloma (MM) has not been well established. METHODS We herein descri...
متن کاملHemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms
Malignant hypertension is able to induce glomerular Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in the absence of Glomerulonephritis (GN). It is therefore commonly admitted that hypertension is the only cause of Glomerular Endothelial Cells (GEC) damage leading to TMA and HUS observed in GN. However, recent literature on TMA in IgA nephropathy calls this hypothesis into...
متن کاملTemporal Changes in Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis in Japan (1976-2009)
BACKGROUND The incidence of post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) in developed countries has decreased over the last 50 years. Here we identified the trends of the incidence of PIGN in Japan during the past four decades. METHODS We explored the frequency, clinicopathological findings, and prognosis of PIGN based on 6,369 cases from the Renal Biopsy Database of our institute in the Kanto r...
