C3-Glomerulopathy Autoantibodies Mediate Distinct Effects on Complement C3- and C5-Convertases
C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a severe kidney disease, which is caused by defective regulation of the alternative complement pathway. Disease pathogenesis is heterogeneous and is caused by both autoimmune and genetic factors.

ABSTRACT Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, reliable tools for predicting LN risk remain limited. In this multicenter prospective cohort study, we developed, validated, and refined a risk stratification model for new‐onset LN.

Collapsing Glomerulopathy in Brazil: A Nationwide Descriptive Study
This multicenter study describes the characterization and outcomes of a retrospective cohort of collapsing glomerulopathy cases conducted in Brazil. These findings reinforce the understanding of this rare glomerulopathy. ABSTRACT Aim Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a glomerular disease that progresses rapidly to renal replacement therapy (RRT ...

Proteinuria After Kidney Transplantation
ABSTRACT Proteinuria is a relatively frequent complication in both adults and children after kidney transplantation (40%–80%). It is usually mild and predominantly of tubular origin and is caused mainly by rejection, mTOR inhibitors, or hypertension; however, proteinuria could also be in the nephrotic range and of glomerular origin if caused by the ...

Current concepts in C3 glomerulopathy
Complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a recently defined entity comprising of dense deposit disease and C3 glomerulonephritis. The key histological feature is the presence of isolated C3 deposits without immunoglobulins. Often masqueradng as some of the common glomerulonephritides this is a prototype disorder occurring from dysregulated ...

The Impact of Complement Factor H‐Related Protein Gene Deletions on Kidney Transplantation
In this study, we found that rs7542235 allele G tags a deletion of the CFHR1 gene. We also found that rs6677604 allele A tags a deletion of the whole CFHR3–1 locus. The plasma proteomics studies show that both variants are associated with an altered expression of FH/FHR proteins thus revealing a novel level of intricate regulation of the complement ...

Hyperkeratosis of (a) the footpads and (b) the nasal planum. ABSTRACT Background Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum remains common, and veterinarians do not always follow scientifically sound approaches for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Objectives To provide consensus guidelines for diagnosis and evidence‐based guidelines for

IgG‐Secreting Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma Presenting With Massive Kidney Infiltration
ABSTRACT Various factors related to lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) can lead to kidney complications; however, LPL‐related kidney complications are not as well‐described as those with multiple myeloma. Here, we report a case of IgG‐secreting LPL presenting with acute kidney injury owing to direct tumor infiltration.

A Case of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm‐Associated Glomerulopathy in a Patient With Myelofibrosis
ABSTRACT Myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)‐related glomerulopathy is a rare, late complication of MPN. Mesangial matrix expansion seems to be the histopathological hallmark. Proteinuria may not always be present. Further exploration is warranted to determine whether risk factors—including disease entity, mutation status and treatment regimens ...
