glomerulonephritis

Miscellaneous diseases included unclassified diseases, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) of unknown aetiology and unclassified glomerulonephritis, hereditary diseases including Alport's nephritis, thin basement membrane disease, oxalate nephropathy and Fabry's disease, tumours, and symptoms suggesting renal disease but with normal/non-remarkable histological findings.

Focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis with linear, granular or no deposit on immunofluorescence (IF) OR

The common causes of CKD identified in the patients included diabetic nephropathy 28% (140 patients), glomerulonephritis 22% (110 patients), hypertension 14.6% (73 patients), tubulo-interstitial disease 13.4% (67patients)and renal stone disease 8% (40 patients, he added.

The common etiology of CKD in that age-group included glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, tubulo-interstitial disease and renal stone disease.

In the first age group, there were 11 cases of Glomerulonephritis (GN) and 9 had Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) and in second group 11 had NS and 6 had GN and 5 had tubulointerstitial diseases.

Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG2k deposit successfully treated with steroids: a case report and review of the literature.

The distribution of the spectrum of glomerular disease varies temporally and geographically and in different ethnic groups.[6] Few studies have systematically investigated the spectrum of primary glomerulonephritis (PGN) and secondary glomerulonephritis (SGN) in China when stratified by geographic region and time period.

(1) Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) are commonly associated with vasculitis [ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV)] and a pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. The co-existence of IgAN and AAV is rare.

Cases of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis were reported in 1983, and subsequently, ANCA positivity was demonstrated in some of these cases (7, 8).

Glomerulonephritis, classification and management of IgA

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a generic term for glomeruli injuries, which may range from massive inflammatory injuries that largely destroy the glomerulus to the injuries that can only be detected using sensitive techniques such as electron microscopy.
