AI Article Synopsis
- Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy is an extremely rare kidney disorder, with fewer than 40 cases recorded globally.
- It typically presents with nephrotic syndrome in adults and is marked by abnormal collagen type III deposits in the kidney.
- This case is notable for its association with intestinal villous atrophy, which hasn't been previously linked to the condition, highlighting a gap in existing research.
Article Abstract
Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy is a rare clinical entity with fewer than 40 cases reported worldwide. We describe a case of adult onset nephrotic syndrome with partial villous atrophy of the intestine who was diagnosed with this rare entity. Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy is characterized by subendothelial and mesangial collagen type III deposition and increased procollagen III peptide levels. Extra renal involvement has been described in the form of hypertension, anemia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia but villous atrophy has not been associated with this condition so far, possibly reflecting the paucity of literature. We describe this case and review the condition in this report.
