Renal immune complexes in viral hepatitis. 1980

S Sehgal, and B N Datta, and K S Chugh, and B K Aikat, and D V Datta

Twenty-two patients dying of acute viral hepatitis were studied for the presence of renal immune complexes using direct immunofluorescence. A detailed light microscopic study of liver, kidney and other organs was also done and sera scanned for the presence of HBsAg. Results of light microscopy indicate that thirteen of twenty-two patients showed mild to moderate glomerular abnormalities. Immunofluorescence was positive in fifteen of twenty-two patients. IgA being positive in 28%. The incidence of HBsAg was low. It is suggested that both B and non-B type of hepatitis viruses are associated with a high incidence of renal immune complexes along with morphological alterations in the glomerulus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
