The currently used classification reflects our understanding of the pathogenesis of the various forms of lupus nephritis, but clinicopathologic studies have revealed the need for improved categorization and terminology. Based on the 1982 classification published under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO) and subsequent clinicopathologic data, we propose that class I and II be use...
Membranous nephropathy is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. It usually occurs secondary to underlying disease processes such as autoimmune disorders, malignancy, infection, and drugs. The presentation of nephrotic syndrome with concomitant precipitous decline in renal function warrants investigation of a coexistent disorder.We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented wi...
Renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is usually immune complex mediated and may have multiple different presentations. Pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN) refers to extensive glomerular inflammation with few or no immune deposits that may result in rapid decline in renal function. We report a case of a 79-year-old Hispanic male with a history of ...
The transformation of lupus nephritis from one histologic pattern to another is well described. We report a case of a patient who initially presented with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis and was treated with prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). She initially responded well to therapy, but later developed high-grade proteinuria while still on MMF and low-dose steroids. A repeat b...
AIMS To develop and validate a rapid and economical semiautomated approach to the measurement of immunostainable tissue components which is applicable to routine diagnostic practice. To apply this approach to the measurement of macrophages in renal biopsy specimens in nephrotic states, as protein in the renal tubules may induce macrophage infiltration, and the morphology of macrophages in tissu...
To the Editor: We read with interest the report of Dr. Guang-Yu Zhou, about a case of Membranous Glomerulonephritis with crescentic transformation. Acute crescentic transformation is a rare but well described event in patients with membranous glomerulonephritis. The concomitant occurrence of a vasculitic glomerulonephritis and membranous nephropathy in the same patient is unusual. We report her...
Hereditary factors are suspected to contribute to the pathogenesis of sporadic primary glomerulonephritis, but their contribution is difficult to delineate in the general population. We studied the prevalence of primary glomerulonephritis in an isolated population from the extreme northern Valtrompia valley, Northern Italy. Investigation of medical records, community urinary screening program a...
We present a case of nephrotic syndrome, associated with small cell lung carcinoma. Renal biopsy revealed membranous glomerulonephritis, probably due to immune complex deposition with tumour antigen. Complete remission of the small cell lung carcinoma after chemotherapy was followed by regression of the nephrotic syndrome. This regression persisted even when brain metastases developed, without ...
The renal affectation is infrequent in scleroderma, unlike other collagen diseases. The appearance of nephrotic syndrome has been related to the drug use, specially the D-penicilamine, or rarely as a manifestation of secondary amilodosis, quite infrequent in scleroderma. We report a case of nephrotic syndrome in a patient with systemic scleroderma, produced by a membranous glomerulonephritis, e...
Membranous glomerulonephritis is an uncommon extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, which need not be associated with prior DMARD (disease-modifying antirheumatic drug) therapies (Clin Rheum 1996, 15, 385). We observed a patient with an 8-year history of seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis complicated by the development of refractory nephrotic syndrome secondary to biopsy-...
