Among patients with AIDS, the incidence of genitourinary TB may be even higher. In an autopsy study in India, 24 of 35 kidneys from patients who died of AIDS s...

متن کاملLow glomerular density with glomerulomegaly in obesity-related glomerulopathy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Obesity-related glomerulopathy is a secondary form of glomerular disease that may occur in obese individuals. It is histologically characterized by marked glomerulomegaly closely related to glomerular hyperfiltration. This study examined glomerular density (nonsclerotic glomerular number per renal cortical area of biopsy specimen) in patients with obesity-related glome...
