A case of hereditary nephritis with mild reduction of renal function associated with renal tubular acidosis type IV is described. The patient was admitted with life-threatening hyperkalaemia. To our knowledge, type IV renal tubular acidosis has not been reported previously in association with Alport's syndrome in an adult patient.

Introduction and Objective: Alport’s syndrome (hereditary nephritis with deafness) is a familial uncommon disease that ultra-structural studies are gold standard method of its diagnosis. Materials and Methods:We studied 26 Iranian patients suspicious of Alport’s syndrome by electron microscopy. We examin...

A patient with hereditary angio-oedema (HAO) developed mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN) under observation. HAO is characterized by an inherited defect of complement-deficiency of C1 esterase. MCGN is often associated with another complement abnormality which leads to depression of serum C3 and there is some evidence that the complement abnormality precedes the nephritis. The coincide...

introduction and objective: alport’s syndrome (hereditary nephritis with deafness) is a familial uncommon disease that ultra-structural studies are gold standard method of its diagnosis. materials and methods:we studied 26 iranian patients suspicious of alport’s syndrome by electron microscopy. we examined 19 men and 7 women (male to female ratio was 2.7) and the average age was 1.5 years (with...

The risk of a posttransplant recurrence of secondary glomerulonephritis (GN) is quite variable. Histologic recurrence is frequent in lupus nephritis, but the lesions are rarely severe and usually do not impair the long-term graft outcome. Patients with Henoch-Schonlein nephritis have graft survival similar to that of other renal diseases, although recurrent Henoch-Schonlein nephritis with exten...

henoch-schönlein purpura nephritis and iga nephropathy are currently considered to be different clinical presentations of the same disease. there is need for a reliable proven, morphologic classification that can help clinicians more accurately formulate treatment strategies for patients with henoch-schönlein purpura nephritis. considering that henoch-schönlein purpura nephritis and iga nephrop...
