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
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.

😀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.
