Metabolic anomalies are sometimes present. Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis is reported in one third of patients and is associated with the presence of the C3NeF IgG and low complement levels in 90% of cases. [orpha.net]

• Weight Loss

  Pancreatitis can be associated with abdominal pain, chills, jaundice, weakness, sweating, vomiting, and weight loss. After puberty, some women with AGL may develop polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). [rarediseases.org]

• Forgetful

  We cannot forget that along the years, patients have done multiple regimes and combinations of antiretroviral drugs, which makes it difficult to identify different risks with different drugs, and studies therefore report conflicting results [ 6 ]. [intechopen.com]

• Hematuria

  However, it can have a wide range of other clinical presentations, including sterile pyuria, isolated macroscopic hematuria, microscopic hematuria with subnephrotic range proteinuria, and isolated proteinuria. [renalfellow.blogspot.com]

  The major features of C3G include high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), blood in the urine (hematuria), reduced amounts of urine, low levels of protein in the blood, and swelling in many areas of the body. [checkorphan.org]

A genetic workup should be performed if the familial form of lipodystrophy is suggested. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Enlargement of the Liver

  Some individuals develop abnormal enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly) due to the infiltration and accumulation of fat within the liver. This can be known as hepatic steatosis or fatty liver. [rarediseases.org]

• Hypertriglyceridemia

  In rare cases, in which insulin resistance does develop, associated symptoms can include glucose intolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, hirsutism, and diabetes. [rarediseases.org]

  Metabolic studies frequently revealed insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia in patients with generalized and partial LD. [experts.umich.edu]

  Hypertriglyceridemia is characterized by increased concentrations of very low–density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and chylomicrons, whereas serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is usually low. [clinicalgate.com]

  Severe hypertriglyceridemia may lead to recurrent pancreatitis. As in AGL, leptin and adiponectin levels are markedly decreased. [dermaamin.com]

  The absence of fat tissue is associated with insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic syndrome. [howlingpixel.com]

Management and treatment Surgical management of the lipodystrophy is feasible, and is mainly aimed at aesthetic improvement. [orpha.net]

Prognosis - C3 Glomerulopathy Renal prognosis is poor, with a 30% risk of end stage renal disease at 2-years. The risk of recurrence in the transplanted kidney is over 70%, with more than a 50% chance of graft loss. [checkorphan.org]

Prognosis The prognostic is largely unknown but depends on the extent of the nephropathy, which may progress to renal insufficiency. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms, and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]

It seems to have a worse prognosis for patients with NS. Some authors have found that persistent hypertension, serum creatinine increase at diagnosis, and macroscopic hematuria episodes are also related to worse prognosis. [kidneypathology.com]

Although great progress has been made in understanding epidemiology and etiology of the syndrome, much about the syndrome remains mysterious. [books.google.de]

The etiology of this condition is has not been fully clear. Lipodystrophy is often associated with glomerulonephritis, low C3 serum complement levels, and the presence of a C3 nephritic factor. [checkrare.com]

Etiology Recently, mutations in the nuclear envelope protein, lamin B2, have been identified in patients with this syndrome. Management and treatment Surgical management of the lipodystrophy is feasible, and is mainly aimed at aesthetic improvement. [orpha.net]

In addition, the book offers helpful summaries of the background biochemistry of lipoprotein metabolism and atherosclerosis where relevant, putting the subject in the context of its pathophysiology and epidemiology. [books.google.com]

Summary Epidemiology More than 250 cases have been described in the literature, with a female-to-male ratio of 3:1. There is usually no family history of lipodystrophy. Clinical description Onset occurs during childhood or adolescence. [orpha.net]
