[Serum immunoglobulins in the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome]. 1977

V A Zúñiga Armendáriz, and E Roberti Riera, and A López Monroy, and G Gordillo Paniagua

In 78 children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, the levels of serum immunoglobulins were studied. In 45 cases with lipoid nephrosis, 7 with segmentary and focal sclerosis and in 26 with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, a reduction in per centum values of IgG were found in similar magnitude in the groups. Levels for IgA were not found abnormal and there was an increase in values for IgM exclusively in cases of lipoid nephrosis. There was no difference between disorders shown by cases of active lipoid nephrosis at the beginning or following relapse after some time of evolution. On the other hand it was found that disorders that appeared significantly in magnitude in cases undergoing remission, but specially in those with a greater time of evolution. The difference in these findings with those reported by other authors are attributed to multifactorial causes of lipoid nephrosis and it is supposed that disorders of immunoglobulins represent a functional defect of the lymphocytes T similar to that described as "immunodeficiency linked to chromosome X with high IgM". The association of lipoid nephrosis with certain types of locus HL-A suggest that these immunity alterations might signify a predisposing factor genetically transmitted and suggest the systematic study of these abnormalities in parents and siblings of patients with this disease.

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
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

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.
