Optimal therapy and prognosis of crescentic-IgA nephropathy (C-IgAN) are not known. Reported treatment options for C-IgAN include combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide for 6 months. The role of mycophenolate sodium in C-IgAN is unknown. We report a case of C-IgAN that was successfully treated with combination immunosuppressive therapy.
متن کاملCrescentic IgA nephropathy and acute renal failure in an HIV-positive patient with enteric salmonella infection.
The association of HIV with renal disease has been well documented since the early days of the epidemic [1]. Heavy proteinuria and rapid progression to renal failure are described as clinical characteristics in most cases arising in HIV-infected patients. On renal biopsy many of these patients have been shown to have a distinctive combination of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), cystic...
