Abnormal expression of glomerular basement membrane laminins in membranous glomerulonephritis.
BACKGROUND Proteinuria associated with glomerular diseases is secondary to alterations of the charge-selective and/or size-selective properties of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), but molecular alterations that are responsible for these functional changes are still poorly understood. Analysis of mice harbouring a null mutation in the gene encoding the beta 2 chain of laminin has suggeste...
متن کاملRituximab for the treatment of refractory simultaneous anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) and membranous nephropathy
Antibody-mediated anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease occurs rarely in the presence of another B-cell disorder, membranous nephropathy. The coexistence of these two autoimmune disorders would be anticipated to require differing, specific therapies targeted to each disease process. We describe a case of concomitant membranous nephropathy and anti-GBM disease in which conventiona...
متن کاملThin glomerular basement membrane disease: light microscopic and electron microscopic studies.
Benign recurrent hematuria usually indicates a good prognosis. This condition is associated with abnormally thin glomerular basement membranes. Of 680 renal biopsy cases in which lower urinary tract disease had been excluded by careful study, 25 cases from seven children and eighteen adults met the criteria for thin glomerular basement membrane disease, placing the incidence of the disease at 3...
متن کاملTransformation of membranous nephropathy into antiglomerular-basement membrane glomerluonephritis
Transformation of membranous nephropathy into antiglomerular-basement membrane glomerluonephritis Sir, Further to the recently published case of membranous nephropathy with superimposed anti-neutrophil cyto-plasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis [1], we report a case of membranous nephropathy (MN) with crescentic transformation secondary to antiglomerular basement membrane (antiGBM) anti...
متن کاملThin basement membrane nephropathy associated with other glomerular diseases.
Many reports confirm that thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) commonly occurs together with other glomerular diseases such as minimal change glomerulonephritis, diabetes, membranous nephropathy, immunoglobulin (Ig)A glomerulonephritis, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. We postulate 3 explanations for these observations. The association of minimal change glomerulonephritis with TBMN ...
