P01-030 – Proteinuria in FMF – prediction of nephropathy type
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results From 27 patients referred to kidney biopsy, only 16 (59.3%) were diagnosed with amyloid kidney disease (AKD), 11 were diagnosed with another nephropathy. The AKD and non amyloid kidney disease (NAKD) groups were comparable on most variables, but showed distinct characteristics with regard to the range of proteinuria (6.46 ±4.3 g vs. 2.4±1.7 g, p= 0.0136), rate of severe FMF (14 vs. 5 patients, p= 0.03) and rate of development of end stage renal disease (75% vs. 27.2%, p=0.02) respectively. Conclusion NAKD is common in FMF and is featured with milder course and better prognosis. Contrary to common practice, it is highly suggested to obtain kidney biopsy from patients with FMF and proteinuria more than 0.5 gr/ 24 hrs.

Relationship between Serum Homocysteine and Other Parameters in Overt Diabetic Nephropathy
OBJECTIVE: Level of serum homocysteine is remarkably common among patients with moderate to sever renal failure. We assessed whether serum homocysteine concentrations were correlated with proteinuria in overt diabetic nephropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 45 patients (29 males, 16 females) with overt proteinuria. All subjects had type 2 diabetes. Data i...
متن کاملEfficacy of pentoxifylline for reduction of proteinuria in type II diabetic patients
Background: Diabetic nephropathy is considered to be the most common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Proteinuria is declared as the most marked risk factor in progression towards ESRD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pentoxifylline for reduction of proteinuria in type II diabetic patients. Methods: From May 2007 to June 2008, this randomized clinical trial study w...
متن کاملMassive proteinuria and acute glomerulonephritis picture in a patient with Familial Mediterranean fever and E148Q mutation.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited auto-inflammatory disorder. Secondary AA amyloidosis is the most devastating complication of FMF. Nonamyloid renal involvements have also been reported in association with FMF, including vasculitis, focal and diffuse glomerulonephritis, and IgA nephropathy. We describe a patient with FMF and E148Q mutation who presented with massive proteinuria...
متن کاملThe experience of canakinumab in renal amyloidosis secondary to Familial Mediterranean fever
INTRODUCTION Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by self-limited recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. Patients may develop renal amyloidosis. Colchicine prevents attacks and renal amyloidosis. Five to 10 % of the patients with FMF are resistant or intolerant to colchicine. CASE DESCRIPTION Herein, we reported our experience with clinical-lab...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever ( FMF ) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease mostly wide spread in the Mediterranean basin. It is manifested by a fever associated with paroxystic painful attacks. The prognosis is determined by the occurrence of renal amyloidosis. The purpose of our work is to establish a genotypephenotype correlation between the MEFV gene mutation and the expre...
