Medical condition
Glomerulopathy is diseases that impact the glomeruli in the
nephron , either inflammatory or noninflammatory.
[1] Glomerulopathy includes
collapsing glomerulopathy ,
glomerulocystic kidney disease , glomerulomegaly,
membranous nephropathy , and tip lesion glomerulopathy.
[2]
Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a clinicopathologic entity that involves
hypertrophy and
hyperplasia of
podocytes and segmentar or global collapse of the
glomerulus .
[3]
Glomerulocystic kidney disease is a rare form of
renal cyst disease. Cortical microcysts, which are portrayed by cystic dilatation of
Bowman's spaces , are its defining feature.
[4]
Glomerulomegaly is defined by unusually large
glomeruli .
[5]
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an uncommon
autoimmune condition in which
autoantibodies directed primarily against
podocyte antigens target the
glomerulus , causing electron-dense
immune complexes to form, complement activation to occur, and severe
proteinuria .
[6]
The glomerular tip lesion (GTL) is a unique histopathologic lesion that appears in idiopathic
nephrotic syndrome patients.
