Background: Crescentic glomerulonephritis (Cr GN) is pattern of glomerular injury resulting from wide range of diseases sharing a common pathogenesis.
Objectives: The objective of our study was to analyze the clinicopathological spectrum and outcome of Cr GN with special reference to its immunopathological subtypes using a panel of immunofluorescence stains.
Materials And Methods: Native renal biopsies with crescentic pattern of injury were included.
Background: Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposit (PGNMID) is an entity with a variable clinical and histological spectrum, which mimics immune-complex mediated glomerulonephritis on light microscopy. In this article, we aim to describe the clinical and pathological features of six cases of PGNMID that we encountered during our routine practice.
Materials And Methods: The study was of the prospective type carried out from February 2018 to August 2019.
Background: Even though frequently described as a benign entity, the outcomes of the tip variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have proven to be unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study includes a cohort of tip variant cases who presented to us from 2009 to 2012 and the analysis of their presenting clinical, histopathological features and treatment outcomes in comparison to the not otherwise specified (NOS) variants from our center in East India.
Results: Of the 224 biopsies of primary FSGS, 30 cases were the tip variant (13.
