Eculizumab in a Patient with Dense-Deposit Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
This letter indicates that in a patient with long-standing dense-deposit disease, a variant of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, eculizumab can be useful in the resolution of the nephrotic syndrome.

C4 Dense-Deposit Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
To the Editor: Dense-deposit disease is a complement-mediated disorder characterized by a proliferative glomerulonephritis, bright capillary-wall C3 staining on immunofluorescence microscopy, and large intramembranous osmiophilic dense deposits that markedly thicken the glomerular capillary walls.1,2 The underlying pathophysiology — fluid-phase ...

Dense deposit disease and the factor H H402 allele

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2008
Herein, we describe the case of an 8-year-old boy who presented with a nephritic nephrotic syndrome. His laboratory investigation was significant for a persistently low serum complement 3 level. A renal biopsy was performed, based on which, he was diagnosed with dense deposit disease/membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II (DDD/MPGN II).

Eculizumab for the Treatment of Dense-Deposit Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway plays a pathogenic role in dense-deposit disease (also known as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II). This letter reports the use of eculizumab in a patient with this disease.

Dense deposit disease associated with multiple myeloma

open access: yesClinical Nephrology, 2018
Dense deposit disease (DDD) is a very rare pathological finding associated with activation of the final complement pathway. DDD has been rarely found in association with multiple myeloma (MM). Here we report a patient with MM presenting with renal failure, anemia, and bone pain. The renal biopsy showed DDD.

Mesangiocapillary Glomerulonephritis Type II (Dense-Deposit Disease): Clinical Features of Progressive Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1989
Twenty-seven patients presenting to the Royal Melbourne Hospital between 1968 and 1988 with mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II with intramembranous dense deposits (dense-deposit disease, DDD) are analyzed.

Glomeruli of Dense Deposit Disease contain components of the alternative and terminal complement pathway

open access: yesKidney International, 2009
Dense Deposit Disease (DDD), or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II, is a rare renal disease characterized by dense deposits in the mesangium and along the glomerular basement membranes that can be seen by electron microscopy. Although these
