Membranous Glomerulonephritis With Crescents [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is rarely associated with necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis (NCGN). METHODS: We report the clinical and pathologic findings in 15 patients with MGN and NCGN associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCAs), anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM), or anti-phospholipase A2 ...

Crescentic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in HIV infection; a mini-review with case study [PDF]
HIV-related renal diseases have become more evident and easier to treat due to the prolonged survival of patients with HIV infection on antiretroviral therapy (ART). There are multiple factors involved in the pathogenesis of this entity.

Crescentic glomerulonephritis in children [PDF]
Abstract Background To date, there is insufficient knowledge about crescentic glomerulonephritis (cGN), the most frequent immunologic cause of acute kidney injury in children. Methods Over a period of 16 years, we retrospectively analyzed kidney biopsy results, the clinical course, and laboratory data in 60 pediatric patients diagnosed with cGN ...

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]
The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

Implications of Antiphospholipid and Antineutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibodies in the Context of Postinfectious Glomerulonephritis. [PDF]
While antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity has been documented in some patients with postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) and is associated with more severe disease, antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) are not known to be a common ...

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...
