Sjögren Syndrome-Related Membranous Glomerulonephritis Progressing to Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
We report a case of glomerulopathy in a 36-year-old Japanese woman with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). The first renal biopsy suggested membranous glomerulonephritis. However, repeat biopsy was performed after 16 years because of increased proteinuria, revealing membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits, subendothelial deposits, and subepithelial deposits. Immunofluoresc...
متن کاملAdvances in Membranous and Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis: Insights into Pathogenesis
Membranous glomerulonephritis is characterised by accumulation of immune complexes on the outside of the glomerular basement membrane. This leads to development of projections of the membrane adjacent to the deposits which eventually become incorporated into the membrane. In about 20% of cases the disease occurs in association with another condition such as SLE, cancer or drug exposure. The rem...
متن کاملNew insights into membranous glomerulonephritis: from bench to bedside.
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is responsible for most cases of nephrotic syndrome in adults [1]. Although spontaneous remission may occur in some cases and several therapeutic options are now available [2–4], in a significant number of patients the response to therapy is poor and the risk of cardiovascular events or kidney disease progression remains high. Prognostic markers in IMN wo...
متن کاملImmunological Basis of Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Primary membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a major glomerular disease causing proteinuria in humans (Jones, 1957). It is the prototype of an autoimmune disease (Couser, et al., 1978) characterized by sub-epithelial immune deposits within glomeruli. Its pathogenesis remains still unknown. Immune deposits are formed by IgG4, their respective antigen and complement. The definition of the immun...
متن کامل[Yellow nail syndrome in a patient with membranous glomerulonephritis].
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a condition characterized by yellow-green coloration of nails, respiratory manifestations and lymphoedema. This article presents 52-year-old patient with membranous glomerulonephritis, hospitalized at the National Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases Research Institute in Warsaw, because of suspected allergic aspergillosis. Based on clinical and radiological evaluation ...
