[Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis]. 1989

S Frostad, and B M Iversen, and J A Christensen

During the period 1981-1986, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis was demonstrated in ten patients admitted to the Medical Department, Haukeland Hospital. At the time of the diagnosis all patients had proteinuria and hematuria, and six of them had renal failure. Seven patients exhibited nephrotic syndrome and three patients developed progressive renal failure during the observation period. Three patients died during the follow-up period. Four patients were treated with Cyclosporine A and corticosteroids. With this therapy the proteinuria disappeared in two of the patients with nephrotic syndrome. Immunosuppressive treatment may be tried if the disease shows signs of progression. We believe that some of these patients may benefit from cyclosporine A.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines

D015432 Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative Chronic glomerulonephritis characterized histologically by proliferation of MESANGIAL CELLS, increase in the MESANGIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX, and a thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. This may appear as a primary disorder or secondary to other diseases including infections and autoimmune disease SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS. Various subtypes are classified by their abnormal ultrastructures and immune deposits. Hypocomplementemia is a characteristic feature of all types of MPGN.
