The renal lesions are of special importance in the captive primates. The most commonly pathologies are: pyelonephritis, nephrocalcinosis, glomerulonephritis, congenital malformations, hydronephrosis and functional diseases. We report the histopathological study of renal lesions of five cases of deaths in Cebus apella (Primates) of the Argentinean Primate Center. The ages of the monkeys were fro...

To identify differences in treatment and outcome of various types of glomerulonephritis developing in the course of infections triggering antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) formation, we analyzed published reports of 50 patients. Immunosuppressives were added to antibiotics in 22 of 23 patients with pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Improvement was noted in 85% of 20 patients with inform...

INTRODUCTION Although membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has been reported to occur in association with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, information concerning the long term effects of treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is limited. CASE PRESENTATION The current report describes a patient who presented with the abrupt onset of hypertensi...

The pathogenesis of human glomerulonephritis has not been throughly recognized in spite of many extensive experimental examinations and clinical observations. With regard to experimental glomerulonephritis, MASUGI's nephritis and glomerulonephritis in serum sickness has been believed to play an important role. In serum sickness, glomerulonephritis develops during the immune phase of antigen eli...

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...

acute glomerulonephritis (agn) is a type of renal disease which indicates the inflammation of glomerulus and nephrons. this study was carried on 94 children, <15 years old with the diagnosis of agn who were admitted to qom and yazd's hospitals between 2000 and 2006. data were collected using hospital records on admission, progression notes and outpatient follow up. among 94 patients, 55.3% were...

Abstract Background and Aims Sudan is a large Sub-Saharan country with population of about 48 million people, 41% them under the age 15 years median 18.9 years. To data, no data have been reported on etiology end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in children young adults less than 18 age. Method We conducted chart review all ESKD patients below treated tertiary referral center, Soba University Hospit...

A case is reported of Bancroftian filariasis and acute immune complex glomerulonephritis in a 44-year-old man. Renal biopsy showed microfilariae and large numbers of eosinophils in the glomeruli (eosinophilic glomerulonephritis). The absence of other aetiological factors suggests that the glomerulonephritis may have been of filarial origin.

Glomerulonephritis is an important cause of renal failure thought to be caused by autoimmune damage to the kidney. While each type of glomerulonephritis begins with a unique initiating stimulus, subsequent common inflammatory and fibrotic events lead to a final pathway of progressive renal damage. In this article the different forms of inflammatory glomerulonephritis and their diagnosis are dis...
