Association Between the Proportion of Sclerotic Glomeruli and Serum Creatinine in Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Primer Fokal Glomerulosklerozda Sklerotik Glomerül Yaygınlığı ile Serum Kreatinin İlişkisi

چکیده
Material and Method: in a cross-sectional study, 50 patients with biopsy-proven primary focal segmental glomerolusclerosis were recruited. The proportion of globally and segmentally sclerosed glomeruli was determined during the first histopathological examination of renal biopsy specimens. Correlations of these variables with on admission serum level of creatinine and its clearance rate were investigated.

Is focal segmental glomerulosclerosis really focal? Distribution of lesions in adults and children.
The distribution of lesions of glomerulosclerosis, whether focal or diffuse, has important implications for pathogenesis and potential therapeutic response. Determination of focal or diffuse nature of lesions from a single section, may, however, be misleading. We therefore evaluated the distribution of segmental glomerulosclerosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome and idiopathic focal segment...
متن کاملGlomerular deposition of mannose-binding lectin in human glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family, binds to various oligosaccharides and activates the classical pathway of complement independent from C1q. At present it is unknown whether this so-called lectin pathway of complement activation plays a role in the pathogenesis of human glomerulonephritis. METHODS Direct immunofluorescence of 84 renal biopsies using an ...

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: It is essential to conduct more studies using a larger number of patients or studies from different geographic parts and ethnicities to obtain the other important prognostic morphologic variables, other than four morphologic variables of Oxford classification.

متن کاملAssociation between the proportion of globally sclerotic glomeruli and various morphologic variables and clinical data of IgA nephropathy patients
INTRODUCTION Immunoglobulin A nephropathy is the most common form of glomerular nephropathy among children and young adults. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the possible correlation between the extent of sclerotic glomeruli and various morphologic variables and clinical data of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients, we conducted an observational study, on 136 IgAN patients' biopsies. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...
متن کاملSerial morphometric analysis of sclerotic lesions in primary "focal" segmental glomerulosclerosis.
The possibility of missing the diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has been primarily attributed to the focal distribution of the sclerotic lesions, but this assumption has not been verified by any serial morphometric analysis of renal biopsy specimens. The aim of this study is to assess the size and the distribution of sclerotic lesions in primary FSGS and to establish the m...
