Clinical and morphological aspects of thin glomerular basement membrane disease.
The report presents the results of investigations carried out in 63 patients (49 children and 14 adults) with thin glomerular basement membrane disease. Of 49 children, 13 came from nine families with family members suffering from kidney diseases (mostly manifested by haematuria). In the group of children, the most frequent initial clinical symptom (noted in 29 cases) was isolated haematuria, m...
متن کاملAnti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs. It is an archetypic autoimmune disease, caused by the development of directly pathogenic autoantibodies targeting a well characterized autoantigen expressed in the basement membranes of these organs, although the inciting events that induce the autoimm...
متن کاملAtypical anti-glomerular basement membrane disease.
BACKGROUND Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease classically presents with aggressive necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis, often with pulmonary hemorrhage. The pathologic hallmark is linear staining of GBMs for deposited immunoglobulin G (IgG), usually accompanied by serum autoantibodies to the collagen IV alpha-3 constituents of GBMs. METHODS Renal pathology files we...
متن کاملRituximab in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease.
The role of rituximab has expanded beyond the treatment of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, to include successful management of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and primary glomerulonephritis. Decrease incidence of side-effects or toxicity, coupled with clinical effectiveness, suggests that B-cell depleting agents may ...
متن کاملThin basement membrane nephropathy associated with other glomerular diseases.
Many reports confirm that thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) commonly occurs together with other glomerular diseases such as minimal change glomerulonephritis, diabetes, membranous nephropathy, immunoglobulin (Ig)A glomerulonephritis, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. We postulate 3 explanations for these observations. The association of minimal change glomerulonephritis with TBMN ...
