Two Cases of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis With Severe Proteinuria

Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) refers to glomerular pathology in which there is thickening of the capillary wall together with mesangial expansion. In this article we firstly review the pathological features of MPGN and discuss how advances in our understanding of the association between abnormalities in the regulation of complement and MPGN have revealed limitations in the his...

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Rosai-Dorfman disease

Rosai-Dorfman disease is also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease has been reported in ~ 43% of cases; the most frequent extranodal sites - skin, soft tissue, bone, respiratory tract, and eye - are usually involved in association with lymphadenopathy. Lack of lymph node involvement is rare, especially when patients manifest renal disease. ...
