Cryoglobulinemic Glomerulonephritis as a Presentation of Atypical Post-Infectious Glomerulonephritis
Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) usually occurs within few days to weeks following an infection. Clinical presentation is variable, but in general, it is considered a benign entity with good prognosis. It rarely requires kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. We present a case of a 55-year-old, previously healthy, male who presented for worsening shortness of breath, persistent cough,...
متن کاملCryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis--lessons from animal models.
In humans cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis (CGGN) may develop in the course of systemic cryoglobulinemia (CG) and is often associated with hepatitis C virus infection. It is believed that the glomerular injury in CG results from the deposition of immune complexes, but exact sequence of events in this process is unknown. Experimental models of CGGN provide an important tool to study pathogene...

متن کاملPost-infectious glomerulonephritis with crescents in adults: a retrospective study
BACKGROUND Crescent formation generally reflects severe glomerular injury. There is sparse literature on post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) with crescents in adults. This retrospective study looked at nine such cases to see if there is a correlation between the severity of presentation, steroid treatment, histological severity and outcome. METHODS Biopsy reports of all the adults who u...
متن کاملAtypical post-infectious glomerulonephritis is associated with abnormalities in the alternative pathway of complement
Postinfectious glomerulonephritis is a common disorder that develops following an infection. In the majority of cases, there is complete recovery of renal function within a few days to weeks following resolution of the infection. In a small percentage of patients, however, the glomerulonephritis takes longer to resolve, resulting in persistent hematuria and proteinuria, or even progression to e...
