Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
The clinical and histological features of idiopathic mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) have been reviewed, with a survey of the most recent literature, including the retrospective analysis of the data of the Italian Study Group of Renal Immunopathology on 368 patients. In both major types of MCGN, six morphological variants have been characterized (classical MCGN, nodular MCGN, exudat...
متن کامل[Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II and macular degeneration].
CASE REPORT We report a 34-year-old woman with biopsy proven type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCG II) who had an ophthalmic fundal appearance similar to that seen in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). DISCUSSION All patients with MCG II should be reviewed regularly by an ophthalmologist to assess and treat any retinal complications.
متن کاملHereditary angio-oedema with mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis.
A patient with hereditary angio-oedema (HAO) developed mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) under observation. HAO is characterized by an inherited defect of complement-deficiency of C1 esterase. MCGN is often associated with another complement abnormality which leads to depression of serum C3 and there is some evidence that the complement abnormality precedes the nephritis. The coincide...
متن کاملPrognosis, treatment and outcome of childhood mesangiocapillary (membranoproliferative) glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND Prognostic factors and outcome are incompletely known in childhood mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN). This study aimed to correlate renal outcome with clinical and histopathological variables. METHODS We conducted a two-centre retrospective analysis of children with MCGN. RESULTS Fifty-three children presented at a mean age of 8.8 years (range: 13 months-15 years). They...
متن کاملElectrophysiology of type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis with associated fundus abnormalities.
The retinal electrophysiology is reported in four patients with type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and partial lipodystrophy with associated fundus abnormalities and no visual symptoms. The histological hallmark of the condition is that of widespread electron dense deposits in the renal glomerulus and in the choriocapillaris and Bruch's membrane of the eye. Three of the four patients ...
