Great case! the IHC is spectacular. i have published 4 cases of syphilis induced renal disease over 35 yrs. this tops them all https://t.co/AifeieWPrb, https://t.co/kxp0Vx3eZt, https://t.co/4D2XK5mPpz, Am J Kidney Dis. 1987 Feb;9(2):176-9.

Another syphilitic story... Young female w/ untreated syphilis, nephrotic syndrome, severe AKI, and pyuria w/ positive e-coli urine culture. Dx: Secondary membranous nephropathy and pyelonephritis with bonus positive Treponema IHC. Syphilis treated and proteinuria disappeared.

MGRS related disease
📌 Kidney Biopsy is required for diagnosis
📌 Occurs in every compartment of the nephron
📌 Classification is based on presence of organized/ non-organized deposits
📌 Absence of monotypic Ig deposits in the kidney doesn’t exclude it

it's not just Hep C anymore... note that lymphoproliferative disorders are about equal to Sjogren as a cause of Cryo, but they may be linked because Sjogren is also related to the development of lymphoma

Merci, Prof. Mariette, for this excellent review regarding cryoglobulinemia in #Sjögren #EULAR2019

Take a look at Atacicept for patients with IgAN at: https://t.co/Wjto5FhCmq. for a quick overview of Atacicept go to https://t.co/YLvbNP5DB8. this agent got its start in SLE, but it makes sense for IgA as well.#arkanalabs #NephCure

Clinical Trials, the time is now! https://t.co/6mgqT2m3e2

Young child presents with hypertension, renal failure and nephrotic-range proteinuria. Platelets are low normal. Cases like this make me glad to work the weekend and thankful to know so many hard working nephrologists caring for patients.

Dr Star and his team bring a critical issue to the fore (this is open access):

so glad! https://t.co/JX0w1Vlnme

[Carles Saus @carles_saus]

😀Thanks @Trumidor!! It seems we have finally convinced nephrologists in our institution to perform kidney biopsies with 16-gauge needle, instead of 18-g. No increase in complications and more accurate diagnosis: obvious benefit for the patient.

ahh, sounds like another pathologist's favorite "Clinical correlation is needed." https://t.co/TduvP04yjM

[Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks]

@Trumidor @SuchitaSata @DukeKidney Apparently not a pathological diagnosis but a clinical one.

[Patrick D Walker @Trumidor]

@SuchitaSata @Nephro_Sparks @DukeKidney Pathologists so love their adjectives... but i have never heard this one 🤔🔬
