VERA MENDEZ, F. J.; MOLINA NUNEZ, M.; HERNANDEZ GARCIA, M. A.  e  GARCIA SOLANO, J.. Fibrillary and immunotactoid glomerulonephritis: report of a case and review of the literature. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2005, vol.22, n.1, pp.35-38. ISSN 0212-7199.

We describe the case of a 67 year -old female with nephrotic syndrome and rapidly progressive renal failure. The nephropaty was characterized by deposits of randomly oriented fibrils with a diameter of about 18-20 nm on electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence microscopy was performed and there was no staining for immunoglobulins and complement. We diagnosed atypical fibrillary glomerulopathy with absence of immune deposits. The patient developed end-stage renal failure rapidly. We review in the literature new clinical and pathogenetic features related to fibrillary and immunotactoid glomerulopathy.
