IgA-dominant postinfectious glomerulonephritis: a new twist on an old disease.
IgA-dominant acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) is an increasingly recognized morphologic variant of APIGN, particularly in the elderly. In contrast to classic APIGN, in which there is typically glomerular deposition of IgG and C3 or C3 only, IgA is the sole or dominant immunoglobulin in IgA-dominant APIGN. Because the vast majority of reported cases occur in association with staph...
متن کاملReversible acute renal failure from gross haematuria due to glomerulonephritis: not only in IgA nephropathy and not associated with intratubular obstruction.
Seven patients with acute renal failure due to gross haematuria caused by glomerulonephritis are described. Gross haematuria lasting 4-40 days led to acute impairment of renal function of variable severity (peak plasma creatinine 1.3-12 mg/dl) and duration. While partial recovery of renal function occurred in all patients within few days, complete remission was observed only some months later. ...
متن کاملClinicopathologic Features of IgA-Dominant Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis
BACKGROUND IgA-dominant acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) is a recently recognized morphologic variant of APIGN, but its clinicopathologic features were not clearly characterized. We will present demographic, clinical and renal biopsy findings from seven patients with IgA-dominant APIGN with a literature review. METHODS All renal biopsy specimens (n=1,119) processed by the Depar...
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...
متن کاملHenoch–Schönlein purpura in a renal transplant recipient with prior IgA nephropathy following influenza vaccination
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic small-vessel leucocytoclastic vasculitis with deposition of immune complexes containing Immunoglobulin A (IgA). IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) is a glomerulonephritis caused by mesangial deposition of IgA. The onset of HSP, but not IgAN, has been linked to influenza vaccination. We report the first case of HSP with glomerular involvement, in a renal transpla...
