Increased susceptibility of decay-accelerating factor deficient mice to anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis.
To prevent complement-mediated autologous tissue damage, host cells express a number of membrane-bound complement inhibitors. Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a GPI-linked membrane complement regulator that is widely expressed in mammalian tissues including the kidney. DAF inhibits the C3 convertase of both the classical and alternative pathways. Although DAF deficiency contributes to t...
متن کاملChapter 14: Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody glomerulonephritis
14.1: Treatment of anti-GBM GN 14.1.1: We recommend initiating immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids plus plasmapheresis (see Table 31) in all patients with anti-GBM GN except those who are dialysis-dependent at presentation and have 100% crescents in an adequate biopsy sample, and do not have pulmonary hemorrhage. (1B) 14.1.2: Start treatment for anti-GBM GN without delay...
متن کاملAnti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis in an HIV positive patient.
We report on a case of a patient with HIV infection, diagnosed 18 months prior to the development of an anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis; this is probably the first report of such an association. A 30-year-old white man presented with elevation of serum creatinine (1.3 - 13.5 mg/dL within one month). At admission, the urinalysis showed proteinu...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis due to coexistent anti-glomerular basement membrane disease and fibrillary glomerulonephritis
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a major cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). On the other hand, fibrillary glomerulonephritis (GN) typically presents as proteinuria, hematuria and renal insufficiency, but rarely as RPGN. Without electron microscopy, the diagnosis of fibrillary GN can be missed. We report a 68-year-old white woman who presented with RPG...
متن کاملHistopathology of humorally mediated anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis in mice.
BACKGROUND From a diagnostic point of view it would be important to learn more about the relationship between the immune responses underlying glomerulonephritis and the patterns of glomerular lesions. A murine model of anti-GBM glomerulonephritis in which inflammation is driven by delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) has been studied extensively. The aim of this study was to uncover histological...
