Rejection-related nephrotic syndrome associated with massive antiglomerular and antitubular basement membrane deposits. 1985

D Zevin, and M Ben-Bassat, and T Weinstein, and Z Shapira, and J Levi

A patient with end-stage renal disease due to nephronophthisis developed nephrotic syndrome following renal transplantation. Renal biopsy revealed rejection glomerulopathy with massive linear deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) G and complement C3 along the glomerular and tubular basement membranes. The association of nephrotic syndrome with linear deposition of Ig is rare in chronic rejection of kidney allografts. The nephrotic syndrome in this case responded to treatment with plasmapheresis.

D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER. Kidney Tubule,Tubule, Kidney,Tubules, Kidney
D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
