Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis are a group of renal diseases which are still posing serious threat to human health and survival. They are all characterised by acute and rapid deterioration of renal function. Renal biopsy reveals extracapillary glomerulonephritis, most frequently circumferential and diffuse, and immunofluorescence findings continue to represent the most important clue to...

small meals (owing to distortion of the stomach and cardio-oesophageal junction); and (5) an abdominal fluid thrill but no shifting dullness, indicating a localised collection of fluid and clotted blood. The likely pathogenesis of the haemorrhage is over-distension of the stomach with tearing of a small blood vessel in the lesser omentum. The blood tracks inferiorly, stripping peritoneum from t...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria.
A 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease was admitted because of hemoptysis and acute renal failure. A chest X-ray showed interstitial infiltration over bilateral lung fields. Kidney biopsy showed immune complex-mediated acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with 48% crescents and glomerular endocapillary hypercellularity wi...
متن کاملSimultaneous comprehensive multiplex autoantibody analysis for rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is mainly caused by anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis, immune-complex or anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides and leads to rapid loss of renal function. Detection of ANCA and autoantibodies (autoAbs) to GBM and dsDNA enables early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of RPGN ai...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis following Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia in a child
Acute renal failure following Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia is rarely reported in adults. We present an observation in a 6-year-old child, with hydronephrosis of 3 degrees to the right and the left uninhabited lodge from birth, who had C. pneumoniae pneumonia treated with macrolide antibiotics for a period of 10 days, without any other nephrotoxic drug, in particular nonsteroidal anti-inflamma...
