Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the occurrence of multiple cysts that increase the size of both kidneys, progressively reducing kidney function. Usually the cysts occur bilaterally, and there is no difference in the degree of cyst enlargement between the left and right. Here, we report a case of ADPKD in which kidney size increased markedly on the left side...... hiện toàn bộ

We report a case of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis caused by anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease accompanied by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presenting central nervous system involvement in a 32-year-old Japanese male. He was admitted to our hospital because of a 3-week history of fever and rapidly failing renal function requiring hemodialysis (HD). Laboratory tests showe...... hiện toàn bộ
An unusual association between focal segmental sclerosis and lupus nephritis: a distinct concept from lupus podocytopathy?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 70-75 - 2014

Lupus nephritis (LN) is usually associated with immune deposition in the glomerular capillary wall. On the other hand, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is not typically associated with immune deposition, and its pathogenesis includes podocyte damage and loss. The definition of lupus podocytopathy (LP) excludes patients with electron-dense glomerular basement membrane deposits. Here, we r...... hiện toàn bộ

While the incidence and prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial-pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) are increasing and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is common in East Asian countries, case reports of MPA associated with NTM-PD are limited. A 72-year-old male receiving treatment for NTM-PD with antibiotics was referred to our hospital with fever and arthralgia that developed a few months previously. A ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pulmonary hemorrhage associated with Henoch-Schöenlein purpura in an adult patient primary diagnosed of IgA nephropathySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 48-54 - 2014

We describe a case of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) followed by pulmonary hemorrhage associated with Henoch-Schöenlein purpura (HSP) in an adult female. The patient had a history of renal insufficiency and persistent hematuria and proteinuria, without any extra-renal involvement. She was diagnosed with IgAN 7 years before the onset of HSP and had received immunosuppressive therapy for 6 years. One year ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cytokine dynamics in a 14-year-old girl with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndromeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 49-52 - 2013

Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome, which was first described in 1975, has been reported in more than 130 patients, mostly in adolescent or young women. Although data concerning the etiologic background of this inflammatory disease are limited, several humoral factors, including cytokines, have been reported in association with the disease. Here, we report a case of TINU in a...... hiện toàn bộ
