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 کاملGlomerular fine structure in mixed membranous and proliferative glomerulonephritis.
A case of mixed membranous and proliferative glomerulonephritis has been studied by light and electron microscopy. Electron microscopy has shown that the cellular proliferation is mesangial in origin and that there are qualitative and quantitative alterations in the filtration basement membrane. In addition there are numerous examples of direct contact between filtration basement membrane and n...
متن کاملNature of the glomerular capillary injury in human membranous glomerulopathy.
A differential solute clearance technique was used to evaluate glomerular capillary wall function in 20 patients with membranous glomerulopathy and massive proteinuria. The clearance of inulin, the filtration fraction, and the fractional clearance of uncharged dextrans of a radius of 28-48 A were depressed significantly below control values in 20 healthy volunteers (P less than 0.01). In contra...
متن کاملIdiopathic or iatrogenic membranous glomerulonephritis? A case of spironolactone-induced membranous glomerulonephritis
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults in the UK. In most cases, the aetiology remains unknown, although recent data suggested a clear mechanism of pathogenesis. In approximately a quarter of cases, however, a presumed cause is found, such as systemic lupus nephritis, malignancy, hepatitis B and various drugs. Here, we present a patient who develope...
متن کاملImmunological Basis of Membranous Glomerulonephritis
Primary membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a major glomerular disease causing proteinuria in humans (Jones, 1957). It is the prototype of an autoimmune disease (Couser, et al., 1978) characterized by sub-epithelial immune deposits within glomeruli. Its pathogenesis remains still unknown. Immune deposits are formed by IgG4, their respective antigen and complement. The definition of the immun...
