THE NINTH K PRATHAP MEMORIAL LECTURE Fibrillary deposits: Amyloids and tactoids
Two forms of abnormal fibrillary protein deposition are considered: amyloidosis and fibrillary (immunotactoid) glomerulonephritis. Amyloid is characterised by an antiparallel, beta-pleated configuration which imparts to it a unique apple-green birefringence after Congo red staining. Inspite of its fairly constant physical properties, the chemical composition of amyloid fibrils is amazingly dive...
متن کاملImmuotactoid glomerulopathy (fibrillary glomerulonephritis).
I mmunotactoid glomerulopathy first was described in 1977, when Rosenmann and Eliakim (1) reported an unusual glomerular lesion in a 45-yr-old woman who presented with the nephrotic syndrome and renal insufficiency. The electron microscopy was remarkable for organized electron-dense deposits in the form of randomly arranged fibrils that measured 10 nM in diameter. The deposits were associated w...
متن کاملFibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glomerulopathy.
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis is a now widely recognized diagnostic entity, occurring in approximately 1% of native kidney biopsies in several large biopsy series obtained from Western countries. The distinctive features are infiltration of glomerular structures by randomly arranged fibrils similar in appearance but larger than amyloid fibrils and the lack of staining with histochemical dyes ty...
متن کاملImmunotactoid glomerulopathy associated with mycosis fungoides.
A patient with mycosis fungoides developed a nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed deposits of a highly organized fibrillar material which did not stain with the typical amyloid stains; this picture was consistent with the diagnosis of non-amyloidotic fibrillary glomerulopathy or immunotactoid glomerulopathy. We believe this is the first case reported of immunotactoid glomerulopathy associa...
متن کاملLobular membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with organized microtubular monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits associated with B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Sir, Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) and immunotactoid glomerulopathy (ITG) are well known glomerular diseases with Congo-red-negative deposits [1–4]. While FGN is characterized by randomly arranged microfibrils around 20 nm in diameter with no underlying systemic disorder, ITG is defined by orderly arranged microtubular deposits, usually >30nm in diameter with a hollow core; patients with ...
