[Proliferative diffuse glomerulonephritis (author's transl)]. 1975

G C Richet

Some aspects of the diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis have been examined: initial renal failure, evolution of the lesions, crioglobulinemia. Thirty-five of 88 cases presented high urea levels, in 3 of them with acute renal failure transient hemodialysis treatment was needed, only one case progressed toward chronic renal failure. Anatomic alterations either in the case of exudative or proliferative damages improved but not up to complete healing: mesangial tickening and local proliferation has been observed. Crioglobulinemia was found in 14 of 21 cases. The disappearance in two cases of the crioglobulinemia was accompanied by a significative improvement of the hystology; a persistent crioglobulinemia usually accompanies unmodified histologic alterations.

D010265	Paraproteinemias	A group of related diseases characterized by an unbalanced or disproportionate proliferation of immunoglobulin-producing cells, usually from a single clone. These cells frequently secrete a structurally homogeneous immunoglobulin (M-component) and/or an abnormal immunoglobulin.

D003450	Cryoglobulins	Abnormal immunoglobulins, especially IGG or IGM, that precipitate spontaneously when SERUM is cooled below 37 degrees Celsius. It is characteristic of CRYOGLOBULINEMIA.	Cryoglobulin,Cryoprotein,Cryoproteins
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.

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

D058186	Acute Kidney Injury	Abrupt reduction in kidney function. Acute kidney injury encompasses the entire spectrum of the syndrome including acute kidney failure; ACUTE KIDNEY TUBULAR NECROSIS; and other less severe conditions.
