Characteristic electron-microscopic features of cryofibrinogen-associated glomerulonephritis: a case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The risk of an individual to develop an acute kidney injury (AKI), or its severity, cannot be reliably predicted by common clinical risk factors. Whether genetic risk factors have an explanatory role poses an interesting question, however. Thus, we conducted a systematic literature review regarding genetic p...
