Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). 1980

I M Cohen, and A H Swerdlin, and S M Steinberg, and R A Stone

A patient who had clinical and serologic evidence for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) developed mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with demonstrable immune complexes. Most cases of MCTD with a renal lesion have exhibited membranous glomerular lesions. Since the prevalence of renal involvement in MCTD has ranged from 5-20%, it is possible that too few cases have been studied to describe fully the range of renal lesions seen in this disease entity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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

D000936 Antigen-Antibody Complex The complex formed by the binding of antigen and antibody molecules. The deposition of large antigen-antibody complexes leading to tissue damage causes IMMUNE COMPLEX DISEASES.
