Clinical significance of IgM mesangial deposits in the nephrotic syndrome. 1985

A Gonzalo, and F Mampaso, and N Gallego, and C Quereda, and C Fierro, and J Ortuño

We have studied 32 patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome aged from 3 to 59 years. The clinical course of 20 patients with IgM mesangial deposits was compared with that of 12 patients without glomerular immune deposits. The presence of IgM deposits seems to be unrelated to any particular clinical onset, histological pattern on light microscopy, therapy response, or clinical course in our relatively short follow-up. The conclusion from this study is that IgM mesangial deposition is not a marker for response to therapy in patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
