Membranous nephropathy in a child with crescentic glomerulonephritis: Coincidence or comorbidity?
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is rare syndrome in children, characterized by clinical features of glomerulonephritis and rapid loss of renal function, and is associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis.

Prognostic factors in glomerular diseases with crescents
Introduction. More than 50% of glomerular crescent formation is required for a diagnosis of crescentic glomerulonephritis in a kidney biopsy. Although treatment protocols have been established for diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, there is no ...

Fibrillary glomerulonephritis presenting as crescentic glomerulonephritis
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is a rare primary glomerular disease that commonly presents clinically with hypertension, proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and varying degree of renal insufficiency. Histologically, FGN can present with different patterns of glomerular injury, more commonly mesangioproliferative, membranoproliferative, and ...

A case of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis and concurrent membranous nephropathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) and concurrent membranous nephropathy (MN) are very rare combination. Their causal relationship has been suggested, but not determined.

Rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis [PDF]
pulmonary edema. Hemodialysis was initiated and continued throughout her admission. Renal ultrasound showed normal kidney size with echogenicity consistent with parenchymal disease. Serologic tests were ordered and a renal biopsy was performed. The renal biopsy demonstrated involvement of essentially all glomeruli by necrosis, sclerosis, or both ...
