Rapidly progressive cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis

Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2010
The clinical course of cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis (CGGN) is usually slowly progressive, and only a minority of these patients progress to end-stage renal failure. This report describes an atypical case of a patient with CGGN who demonstrated a rapidly progressive and irreversible renal deterioration.

Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis Progressing to Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

Southern Medical Journal, 1984
We have reported a rare, well documented case of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis followed by rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis after weeks of stable renal function. The patient was successfully treated with steroids, azathioprine, and plasmapheresis.

Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis Presenting as Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2012
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (GN) is an uncommon cause of rapidly progressive kidney failure. We report a case of rapidly progressive kidney failure with kidney biopsy showing crescentic GN on light microscopy and immunofluorescence showing linear/globular glomerular basement membrane (GBM) staining for immunoglobulin G and C3, consistent with anti ...

Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

2008
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is characterized by clinical features of glomerulonephritis (GN) and rapid loss of renal function. Histology shows crescentic extracapillary proliferation in Bowman space affecting the majority of glomeruli.

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and carcinoma of the hypopharynx

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2001
We report on a 50-year-old man with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and carcinoma of the hypopharynx. Because cancer treatment was followed by remission of proteinuria and complete restoration of renal function, a causal relationship between tumor and glomerular injury seems possible.

Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis with d-Penicillamine

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2000
We present 3 cases of anti-myeloperoxidase, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-positive rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis developed during the treatment with D-penicillamine (D-PC) for rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis was diagnosed in these patients, and D-PC was administered to them at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg per day ...

Plasmapheresis in the Treatment of Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

Therapeutic Apheresis, 1997
Abstract: The present study was carried out to examine the efficacy of plasma exchange in patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). Seventeen patients with RPGN were treated with plasmapheresis as adjunct to immunosuppressive therapy. Of these, 4 had antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody‐mediated glomerulonephritis (GN), 8

Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis

1998
Abstract Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis is one of the most exciting areas in renal medicine. The disease usually presents acutely, and leads to end stage renal failure in weeks or months if untreated. However, appropriate immunosuppressive therapy can dramatically improve the prognosis in many cases, such that renal failure is ...
