BACKGROUND We report a previously unrecognized and unreported case of a patient with anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis following nintedanib, an orally active small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis presented with severe acute kidney injury (creatinine 285 umol/L) secondary to a...

In the early 1990s, an international working group of experienced renal pathologists, the Renal Histology group, set up a scoring system for biopsies with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis. This scoring system subdivided glomerular, interstitial and vascular lesions and served as a tool for the evaluation of all renal biopsies from studies of the Euro...

abstract background: the prognosis of sle is int1uenced by the onset of glomerulonephtitis. clinical ttials in lupus nephritis have demonstrated that cyclophosphamide therapy is the superior regimen in the management oflupus nephritis for preserving renal function. objective: the purpose of this study is to define the outcome of renal function with bolus pu lses of cyclophosphamide and steroid ...

BACKGROUND Despite the development of biomarkers and noninvasive imaging tools, biopsy remains the only method for correctly diagnosing patients with unexplained hematuria, proteinuria and renal failure. Renal biopsy has been performed for several decades in Taiwan; however, a national data registry is still lacking until 2013. METHODS The Renal Biopsy Registry Committee was established withi...

Kidney tissue from 97 patients was studied by immunofluorescent techniques using antiserum to purified properdin. All patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis showed deposition of properdin and the third component of complement (C3), either as "humps" on the basement membrane, or in the mesangium. In all cases of chronic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, properdin and C3...

BACKGROUND Kidney involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma is well recognized and glomerulonephritis, when present, has been commonly reported to be associated with a membranoproliferative pattern. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 58-year-old lady with a recurrence of non-Hodgkin MALT B-cell lymphoma, presenting with acute kidney injury, nephrotic range proteinuria and a cellular urinalysis...

Chronic glomerulonephritis syndrome is one of clinical classification in primary glomerulonephritis. Clinical classification of primary glomerulonephritis consists of five groups. (WHO 1995) They are acute nephritic syndrome, rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome, recurrent or persistent hematuria (proteinuria), chronic nephritic syndrome, and nephrotic syndrome. After therapy or renal biopsy,...

BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) tends to complicate other autoimmune diseases. When considering renal dysfunction in patients with DM, diabetic nephropathy is a likely diagnosis. By contrast, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis, an autoimmune disease, is one cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 44-year-old woman dia...
