Idiopathic Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Annual Review of Medicine, 1980Idiopathic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is one iden tifiable form of chronic nephritis characterized by distinctive glomerular morphology. However, it is not known whether MPGN is a single patho genetic entity. It was originally recognized as one type of chronic glomerulonephritis with persistent hypocomplementemia by West et al (1)

Immunosuppressive Treatment of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
Nephron, 2008The treatment of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is considered by most authors as unrewarding, and the disease progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We studied the effectiveness of a new immunosuppressive (IS) regimen by analyzing the rates of remission, relapse and progression to ESRD in 19 patients with MPGN.

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2005Glomerulonephritis (GN) encompasses a wide variety of primary and secondary diseases that cause injury to the functioning unit of the kidney, the glomerulus. The many classifications of GN sometimes lead to confusion. This case study describes an individual with membranoproliferative GN and includes discussion of classification, treatment, and ...

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and amyloidosis
Human Pathology, 1984The first known case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis co-existing with amyloidosis is reported. The question of whether the amyloidosis was secondary to the glomerulonephritis or whether primary amyloidosis co-existed with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is addressed.

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2004MPGN is characterized by its peculiar histological findings; lobular appearance, cellular and mesangial matrix proliferation and double contoured capillary loops. Based on histomorphalogical pattern, three types are subdivided. MPGN may be primary (in most children) or secondary (in most adults) to chronic infections, cryoglobulinemia or systemic ...

Membranoproliferative Hypocomplementemic Glomerulonephritis
Nephron, 2008The diagnosis of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is made by its distinctive glomerular morphology. Early there may be an acute glomerulonephritis and late, a lobular glomerulonephritis. Hypocomplementemia often accompanies the disease in children. Onset is usually in childhood as a nephrotic or acute nephritic syndrome or a chance proteinuria.

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a tropical environment
Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1983Electron microscopy of renal biopsy material from 50 patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis treated in a southern Indian hospital, showed a low prevalence of type 2 (dense deposit) disease. Eosinophilia was seen in more than one-third of the 41 patients with type 1 disease.

Pathogenic mechanisms in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension, 2005This review considers new information on the pathogenesis of a long recognized and poorly understood form of glomerular injury, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. This disease has received growing attention as it is the principal renal manifestation of hepatitis C virus infection, which has become pandemic worldwide.This review briefly describes
