Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a patient with Wilson's disease.

Abstract:

:Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of hepatobiliary copper metabolism. Glomerular diseases can ensue during the course of Wilson's disease and membranous nephropathy is the eventual pathology in the majority of these cases. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) has rarely been reported in patients with Wilson's disease. Further, in this report, we present a patient with Wilson's disease who had developed MPGN during follow-up due to D-penicillamine therapy. This case is presented to draw attention to the rare association of Wilson's disease and MPGN and to discuss the possible underlying causes.

  • Neoral dose adjustment after conversion from C0 to C2 monitoring in stable renal transplant recipients: a prospective single center study.

    abstract::To determine the clinical impact of conversion from C0 to C2 Neoral monitoring, we conducted a 6-month prospective study in 62 stable renal transplant recipients. Neoral was given alone (19%), with steroids (31%), combined with azathioprine (Aza) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (50%). C0 and C2 target ranges were, resp...
