Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a postpartum woman with sickle cell disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renal insufficiency occurs in a considerable proportion of patients with sickle cell disease. Common advanced glomerular lesions include focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and nonimmune membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Due to the paucity of data supporting an immune-mediated pathophysiology, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapies have not been successfully evaluated in such patients. We present a case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a postpartum patient with sickle cell disease, where treatment with steroids was helpful.

Intracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...

Sickle cell disease is a severe disease with a genetic pattern; it may cause anemia, vaso-occlusive phenomena, and multiorgan injury. It may damage any renal compartment, thereby causing tubular abnormalities, papillary necrosis, or glomerulopathies such as focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranoproliferative pattern. The clinical consequences are hematuria and proteinuria. Hematuri...

BACKGROUND IgG4-related disease is a novel disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and tissue infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells. Typical renal pathology is tubulointerstitial nephritis with storiform fibrosis, although the co-existence of various glomerular lesions has been described. Here, we present the first report of a case of IgG4-related kidney disease and membranopro...

متن کاملA paraneoplastic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with isolated C3 deposits associated with hairy cell leukaemia.
We describe a 35-year-old woman who presented with proteinuria and microscopic haematuria. Blood tests revealed a low C3 complement level, with no evidence of cryoglobulin. Renal biopsy showed a Type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) with isolated C3 deposits on immunofluorescence study. Bone marrow aspirate, done for monocytopenia, was consistent with a diagnosis of hairy cell ...
