Clinicopathologic Features of IgA-Dominant Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis
BACKGROUND IgA-dominant acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) is a recently recognized morphologic variant of APIGN, but its clinicopathologic features were not clearly characterized. We will present demographic, clinical and renal biopsy findings from seven patients with IgA-dominant APIGN with a literature review. METHODS All renal biopsy specimens (n=1,119) processed by the Depar...
متن کاملStaphylococcus infection-associated glomerulonephritis mimicking IgA nephropathy.
The association of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection with glomerulonephritis (GN) has been well documented in Japan but not in North America. Recently, eight renal biopsies with IgA-predominant or -codominant GN from eight patients with underlying staphylococcal infection, but without endocarditis, were observed at a single institution in a 12-mo period. Renal biopsie...
متن کاملIgA-dominant Staphylococcus infection-associated glomerulonephritis: case reports and review of the literature
Background and objectives. The mesangial deposition of IgA is rarely described with proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Staphylococcus infection. Recently, this association has been increasingly recognized possibly due to the increased rate of Staphylococcus infection. Design setting, participants and measurements. We report two cases of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ...
متن کاملImmune profile of IgA-dominant diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis
The diagnosis of IgA-dominant post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) may be challenging, as it must be differentiated from that of active IgA nephropathy. Predominant clinicopathologic features of IgA-dominant PIGN substantially overlap with those of active IgA nephropathy. Here, we present a case of a 67-year-old woman with rapidly rising serum creatinine, proteinuria and severe hypertensio...
متن کاملChapter 9: Infection-related glomerulonephritis
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The prototype for bacterial infection-related GN (also called postinfectious GN) is poststreptococcal GN, which most often occurs in children following a pharyngeal or cutaneous infection (impetigo) caused by a particular nephritogenic strain of Streptococci, and usually has a favorable outcome. However, in the last decades the spectrum of postinfectious GN has changed....
