چکیده
CASE REPORT We report a 34-year-old woman with biopsy proven type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCG II) who had an ophthalmic fundal appearance similar to that seen in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). DISCUSSION All patients with MCG II should be reviewed regularly by an ophthalmologist to assess and treat any retinal complications.

Fundus changes in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II: vitreous fluorophotometry.
We have described a complex abnormality of retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) type II. Patients with MCGN type II were examined by vitreous fluorophotometry which reveals that there is a breakdown of the blood retinal barrier (BRB) in those patients with the typical fundus lesions. The function of this barrier was ca...
متن کاملFundus changes in mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II: clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings.
Previously we have demonstrated a deposit in Bruch's membrane in a single case of mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II. We studied a group of patients with this disease and described extensive clinical and fluorescein angiographic abnormalities, which were in marked contrast to the findings in a group of patients with other forms of glomerulonephritis. This finding contributes to our un...
متن کاملTowards Therapy in Genetic Kidney Diseases: Hopes and Uncertainties
The finding of drusen-like lesions beneath the retina in patients with membranoproliferative (or mesangiocapillary) glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type II, with or without partial lipodystrophy, was first reported in 1989. This was confirmed subsequently and has not been reported in other types of glomerulonephritis. These drusen develop at an early age, often in the second decade of life. Some auth...
متن کاملHigh-speed ultrahigh-resolution OCT of Bruch's membrane in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type 2.
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 2 is characterized by electron-dense deposits in the glomerular basement membrane and drusen-like deposits in Bruch's membrane. Over time, atrophic changes in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium occur, which can progress to choroidal neovascularization (CNV). This report describes a patient with MPGN type 2 who developed progressive los...
متن کاملElectrophysiology of type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis with associated fundus abnormalities.
The retinal electrophysiology is reported in four patients with type II mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis and partial lipodystrophy with associated fundus abnormalities and no visual symptoms. The histological hallmark of the condition is that of widespread electron dense deposits in the renal glomerulus and in the choriocapillaris and Bruch's membrane of the eye. Three of the four patients ...
