In this first report on the experience with renal transplantation in children and adolescents in southern Iran during the past five years, thirty-two patients (aged 5- 19 years old 18 males, 14 females) received renal allografts. Pretransplantation pathologic diagnoses by kidney biopsy were: membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN), chr...

AIM To investigate the significance of urinary tissue factor (uTF) concentrations in patients with glomerulonephritis. METHODS Urine samples were collected from normal subjects (n = 57), patients with uncomplicated renal stones (n = 30), and patients with glomerulonephritis (n = 150). Samples were then centrifuged and the pellets solubilised in n-octyl-beta-glucopyranoside. uTF concentrations...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Despite advances in prevention of acute rejection and improved short- and long-term kidney graft survival, recurrent glomerulonephritis remains problematic and poorly characterized. This study analyzed prevalence and outcome of recurrent glomerulonephritis from various registries. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Definition, classification, and limitatio...

INTRODUCTION Abnormal control of the complement alternative pathway (CAP) (factor H, factor I and membrane cofactor protein (MCP) deficiencies) is a well established risk factor for the occurrence of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). In some instances, HUS may be associated with an unusual glomerulonephritis with isolated C3 deposits (glomerulonephritis C3). We determined whether HUS and glome...

strongyloides stercoralis (ss) is a unique nematode with an auto infective cycle, so that it completes its life cycle within the human host and can live there for many years. in immunocompromised patients, infection can cause strongyloides hyperinfection syndrome (s.h.s) that is associated with serious morbidity and mortality. as vari-ous infections are one of the leading causes of membranoprol...
