Horseshoe kidney with mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis and goiter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Horseshoe kidney is a relatively common renal anomaly with which many structural and developmental anomalies have been shown to be associated. However, there are only a few case reports regarding the association of membranous glomerulonephritis and focal sclerosing glomerulonephritis in patients with horseshoe kidneys. We report a girl who was evaluated for hematuria and proteinuria, and found to have horseshoe kidney. Renal biopsy demonstrated mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis. She also had simple diffuse goiter.

BACKGROUND Non-IgA mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis is a well recognized but less studied entity. The clinical manifestations, treatment response and long-term outcome have not been clearly defined. METHODS This single-centre study included patients with biopsy-proven non-IgA mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis who had been on regular follow-up for >3 years. Their clinical featur...
متن کاملMesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with retinitis pigmentosa.
Two patients with retinitis pigmentosa and glomerulonephritis are described. The patients were unrelated and had identical renal lesions, mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis. This may not be a chance association, and simple dip-stick urine analysis in patients with primary retinal degenerations may lead to earlier identification of renal disease.

Background: Mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (MesPGN) is a common morphological pattern that encompasses several groups of renal diseases including IgA nephropathy (IgAN), IgM nephropathy (IgMN), lupus nephritis (LN), C1q nephropathy (C1qN) and other entities. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the pathological findings and the clinical features of cases of MesPGN seen at ...

Primary glomerulonephritis stands as the third most important cause of end-stage renal disease, suggesting that appropriate treatment may not be as effective as intended to be. Moreover, proteinuria, the hallmark of glomerular damage and a prognostic marker of renal damage progression, is frequently resistant to thorough control. In addition, proteinuria may be the common end pathway in which d...
