Abstract
|
|
|
C1q nephropathy is a distinct clinicopathologic entity, characterized by mesangial immunoglobulin and complement deposits, predominantly C1q, with no evidence for systemic lupus erythematosus. Clinically it may present as nephrotic syndrome and non-nephrotic proteinuria per se or associated with microscopic hematuria, gross hematuria, hypertension, or renal insufficiency. So far there is only one report about a familial case of C1q nephropathy (in two sisters). We present two cases of familial C1q nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome which was steroid resistant, but partially remitted with cyclosporine.
