[Membranous nephropathy associated with kidney amyloidosis]. 1991

V A Varshavskiĭ, and A A Luarinavichius, and E S Severgina

15 kidney biopsies from 13 patients with a combination of membranous nephropathy and amyloidosis were studied. Membranous nephropathy is shown to precede the development of amyloidosis which possesses all the properties of the acquired one (AA-amyloid). Transformation of membranous nephropathy into amyloidosis is due to the deficiency of the immune system characteristic of both processes. This combination is not considered as a special type of amyloidosis but as a peculiar feature of membranous nephropathy.

D007674 Kidney Diseases Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues. Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000686 Amyloidosis A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits. Amyloidoses
D001706 Biopsy Removal and pathologic examination of specimens from the living body. Biopsies
D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. Retrospective Study,Studies, Retrospective,Study, Retrospective
D015433 Glomerulonephritis, Membranous A type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by the accumulation of immune deposits (COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX) on the outer aspect of the GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE. It progresses from subepithelial dense deposits, to basement membrane reaction and eventual thickening of the basement membrane.
