Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies crescentic allograft glomerulonephritis after sofosbuvir therapy

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are well known to be associated with several types of vasculitis, including pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, a form of rapid progressive glomerular nephritis (RPGN). ANCA vasculitis has also been reported after administration of propylthiouracil, hydralazine, cocaine (adulterated with levimasole), allopurinol, penicillamine and few other d...

Methylprednisolone pulse therapy in two clinical types of crescentic glomerulonephritis.

To clarify the effectiveness of methylprednisolone pulse therapy on crescentic glomerulonephritis (CresGN), data of 46 patients was retrospectively studied. According to the slope of reciprocals of serum creatinine (s-Cr) the patients were divided into acute and insidious types, and each type was further divided into pulse (P) and conventional (C) therapy groups. In group C, s-Cr improved more ...

T cells in crescentic glomerulonephritis.

Crescent formation in glomerulonephritis (GN) is a manifestation of severe glomerular injury that usually results in a poor clinical outcome. In humans, crescentic GN is frequently associated with evidence of either systemic or organ-specific autoimmunity. T cells play a major role in initiation of adaptive immune responses that lead to crescentic injury. In experimental models of crescentic GN...
