Three Diseases Mediated by Different Immunopathologic Mechanisms—ANCA-Associated Vasculitis, Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease, and Immune Complex-Mediated Glomerulonephritis—A Common Clinical and Histopathologic Picture: Rapidly Progressive Crescentic Glomerulonephritis

Biomedicines, 2023
Immune mechanisms play an important role in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis (GN), with autoimmunity being the main underlying pathogenetic process of both primary and secondary GN.

Glomerulonephritis with crescents in polyomavirus nephropathy

Indian Journal of Nephrology, 2022
Polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN) is a known complication of renal transplantation due to the reactivation of latent BK virus (BKV) infection. Viral replication is usually confined to tubules. However, in severe viremia and late stages of PVN, it can involve glomerular parietal epithelial cells.

Crescentic glomerulonephritis developing in the course of idiopathic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2013
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a rare cause of the nephrotic syndrome in adults and children. Though small focal crescents may be seen in up to 10% of cases of MPGN, the presence of more than 50% crescents (crescentic MPGN) is rare ...

A case of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis and concurrent membranous nephropathy [PDF]

, 2013
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.

T Cells in Crescentic Glomerulonephritis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2006
Crescent formation in glomerulonephritis (GN) is a manifestation of severe glomerular injury that usually results in a poor clinical outcome. In humans, crescentic GN is frequently associated with evidence of either systemic or organ-specific autoimmunity.

Establishment of a mouse model of propylthiouracil‐induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract summarizes our study in which we established a novel murine model of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis. Neutrophil recruitment was induced using thioglycolate, followed by timed administration of propylthiouracil and phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate to generate DNase I‐resistant neutrophil ...

Interstitial Lung Disease in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis: A European Multicenter Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can occur in association with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV‐ILD) or as an isolated entity with positive ANCA (ANCA‐ILD). However, data on the epidemiology and outcomes of these conditions remain limited.
