Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits Associated with Membrano-Proliferative Features: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a recently described entity. It is featured by glomerular nonorganized monoclonal immunoglobulin G deposits. Monoclonal IgG deposits are associated with glomerular proliferative lesions, mimicking different types of immune-complex glomerulonephritis. We report two classic cases of PGNMID which fulfilled all criteria of this disease. We conclude that recognition of proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits requires routine immunostaining for light chain and IgG isotype.

Steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome in a patient with proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits with pure mesangial proliferative features
A 78-year-old woman developed acute-onset nephrotic syndrome. A renal biopsy showed mild mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. Immunofluorescence studies revealed granular IgG3- λ deposits within the mesangial area and along the glomerular capillary walls. Electron microscopy showed mesangial and subendothelial granular electron-dense deposits. The pattern of deposition was predominantly ...

Several types of glomerulonephritis associated with dysproteinemia, such as AL-amyloidosis, light- and heavy-chain deposition disease, and type 1 cryoglobulinemic glomerulopathy, demonstrate monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition. Progressive glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is also known to feature monoclonal glomerular deposits, but most of these cases occur without unde...

Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a recently described entity that is only rarely associated with a hematological or lymphoproliferative malignancy. We describe the cases of two men with preexisting chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who developed endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with nonorganized monoclonal IgG(1) deposits. One biopsy also ...
متن کاملA Case of Recurrent Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits after Kidney Transplant Treated with Plasmapheresis
Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a rare and recently identified disease with a poor prognosis irrespective of the treatment. Recently, the possibility of recurrent or de novo PGNMID after kidney transplantation has been reported, which is associated with a better prognosis compared to PGNMID on native kidneys. Nevertheless, at present, due to the very fe...
متن کاملA Case of Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits That Showed Predominantly Membranous Features
In 2004, the novel category of monoclonal IgG deposition disease has been proposed and termed "proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits" (PGNMID). This disease is characterized by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and staining for a single light-chain isotype and gamma heavy-chain subclass. A 76-year-old male who had monoclonal gammopathy was referred to our hospital...
