Pleural Effusion
Later she developed multiple nodular densities in the lungs and a right sides hemorrhagic pleural effusion. Samples of epicardial tumor implants obtained at thoracotomy revealed telangiectatic osteosarcoma. [nature.com]
There were bilateral pleural effusions and oedema of the hands and back. Urine specific gravity was 1024 and albumin was present. The ESR was 20 mm/hour, haemoglobin 12.1 gm/dl and leukocyte count 25 x 109/l with a shift to the left. [monash.edu]
Cardiovascular
-
Chest Pain
A 12 year old black girl with chest pain, fever and dyspnea was found to have massive cardiomegaly without murmur or pericardial rub. She also had proteinuria. Pericardiocentesis did not clarify the cardiac lesion. [nature.com]

Heart Murmur
Her lungs were clear, there was no heart murmur, no hepatosplenomegaly, and no significant leg edema or other rash. There was mild, occasional synovitis in the PIPS and MCPs in both hands. [renalandurologynews.com]

For example, cast nephropathy has fractured casts which are very pale by periodic acid-Schiff stain, and amyloid is Congo-red positive. EM is informative in many cases. [karger.com]

Five months after completion of her Velcade/dexamethasone/daratumumab regimen, she had another relapse, with her serum albumin decreasing to 2.9 and her urine protein creatinine ratio increasing to 2.4. [karger.com]

Therefore, the present case study provided experience for future treatments and it is suggested that clinical studies are required to identify the most appropriate treatment strategies. [spandidos-publications.com]

Prognosis
Bad prognosis if 1g/day proteinuria and HTN. [sites.google.com]
Differences, hematuria, and even gross hematuria had no effect on the prognosis. Age and gender did not affect the prognosis of the disease. [netinbag.com]
Histological findings may also be helpful in assessing the prognosis. There is a general agreement that crescents are a forerunner of a bad prognosis [ 6, 11, 14 ]. [academic.oup.com]
Prognosis Evidence of glomerulosclerosis, fibrous crescents, tubular atrophy, and, particularly, interstitial fibrosis on light microscopy indicates advanced disease and a poor prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology

Abstract Background- The prognosis of diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis of post infectious etiology in adults is variable with a significant proportion of patients having an adverse outcome. [jmscr.igmpublication.org]
The exact etiology and pathogenesis of PGNMID remains largely unknown, rendering correspondingly etiology-based treatment unpractical to date. [bmcnephrol.biomedcentral.com]
Only Rx is ACEi/ARB (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors / angiotensin receptor blockers); etiology unknown May look normal (great prognosis); focal, mesangial, proliferative GN; bad prognosis if diffuse or crescent Granular IgA and C3 in mesangium [sites.google.com]

Pathophysiology
The classification is on the basis of pathophysiology and is guided by immunofluorescence findings. [news.mayocliniclabs.com]
The author argues that this new classification will better focus on the underlying pathophysiology and cause of the GN, thus directing the clinician to appropriate evaluation and management of proliferative GN. [ajkdblog.org]

Pathophysiology Most cases of DPGN result from the deposition of immune complexes in the mesangium, glomerular basement membrane (GBM), subendothelial or subepithelial locations. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Four patients received rituximab 4 months pretransplant to prevent recurrence. However, 3 had mild recurrences. CONCLUSIONS: Rituximab treatment of early PGNMID recurrence is effective, resulting in reasonable, long-term graft survival. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
[ edit ] It is unclear whether or not acute proliferative glomerulonephritis (i.e., poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis) can be prevented with early prophylactic antibiotic therapy, with some authorities arguing that antibiotics can prevent development [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention Membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis prevention The course of the disease type 3 is basically the same, prevention should start from their own health, usually avoid fatigue, reasonable diet, scientific exercise, enhance physical fitness [netinbag.com]
Your nephrologist may also recommend: Diuretics to help eliminate excess fluids in the body Low Sodium diet help to control edema Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots Blood Pressure medications to lower high blood pressure Statins to lower the cholesterol [nephcure.org]
Prevention There may be no way to prevent most forms of glomerulonephritis. However, here are some steps that might be beneficial: Seek prompt treatment of a strep infection with a sore throat or impetigo. [mayoclinic.org]
