Cytomegalovirus-induced collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

چکیده
Collapsing glomerulopathy is an aggressive morphologic variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis which typically presents with nephrotic syndrome and rapidly progressive renal failure. Most cases of collapsing glomerulopathy are associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. We present a rare case of collapsing glomerulopathy associated with acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in an immunocompetent host with improvement in renal function after the treatment of CMV with ganciclovir. CMV may be an under-recognized cause of collapsing glomerulopathy which may respond to antiviral treatment.

متن کاملInfection-Related Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Children
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most common cause of steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome in children. It describes a unique histological picture of glomerular damage resulting from several causes. In the majority of patients the causing agent is still unknown, but in some cases viral association is evident. In adults, the most established FSGS causing virus is the human immune...

متن کاملCollapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: Increasing the awareness.
Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (cFSGS), also known as collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is of considerable interest for a variety of reasons. Its incidence is on the rise, and in many parts of the world, it has emerged as one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There is currently no specific treatment and the response to standard immunotherapeutic agents is poor...
متن کاملCollapsing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Resulting from a Single Dose of Zoledronate
Bisphosphonates are commonly used for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma and hypercalcemia. Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is known to occur uncommonly with exposure to bisphosphonates, specifically pamidronate and alendronate; it has rarely and equivocally been reported with zoledronate therapy. We describe the case of a 36-year-old African A...
