[Kidney involvement in "mixed connective tissue disease" (Sharp syndrome)]. 1981

V Gläser, and H Lang, and F Reinhold, and K Schirmer, and V Hallebach

The case in question of the Sharp-syndrome is a mixed collagenosis with symptoms of sclerodermia, Erythematodes visceralis, dermatomyositis and rheumatoid arthritis. Apart from the clinical symptomatology the immunological profile is decisive for the ascertainment of the diagnosis. With the help of 3 descriptions of cases is referred to a frequent participation of the kidneys, particularly histologically and immune-histologically. In contrast to the hitherto existing publications also in missing pathological findings of the urine a renal biopsy should be aspired to, since important therapeutic and prognostic considerations are dependent on this.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008947 Mixed Connective Tissue Disease A syndrome with overlapping clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, polymyositis, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The disease is differentially characterized by high serum titers of antibodies to ribonuclease-sensitive extractable (saline soluble) nuclear antigen and a "speckled" epidermal nuclear staining pattern on direct immunofluorescence.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
