Cryoglobulinaemic vasculitis: classification and clinical and therapeutic aspects [PDF]
, 2007 Cryoglobulinaemia may cause cutaneous vasculitis and glomerulonephritis, potentially leading to end stage renal failure. An important proportion of cryoglobulinaemias are secondary to hepatitis C virus infection.

DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2016 Glomerulonephritis encompasses a group of diseases that are characterized by inflammatory glomerular processes and clinically usually present with a nephritic and / or a nephrotic syndrome, as well as a deterioration of the renal function. Often, the diseases are accompanied by arterial hypertension and severe edema. In many cases however, the clinical

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Pediatric Nephrology, 2009 Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is an uncommon kidney disorder characterized by mesangial cell proliferation and structural changes in glomerular capillary walls. It can be subdivided into idiopathic and secondary forms, which are differentially diagnosed by a review of clinical features, laboratory data, and renal histopathology.

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...
