Sjogren's Syndrome Complicated with IgA Nephropathy and Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis

Hospitalisation rates and characteristics for adult and childhood immunoglobulin A vasculitis in Western Australia

“…As the overall case distribution of children versus adults (75 vs 25%), as well as age and gender characteristics were comparable with other studies in adult patients, it again raises the question whether this truly could reflect a lower disease incidence in adults in WA. Adult patients did demonstrate significantly more joint, renal and gastrointestinal findings than childhood patients, confirming other studies and forming the likely explanation for the longer LOS observed in adults . The moderate decline in the admission rates for adults with IgAV over time in association with increased age and LOS indicates a shift towards more severely ill and elderly IgAV patients being admitted over the past 15 years.…”

Cause of Nephrotıc Syndrome at A Case Admitted About Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis: Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

“…Tsai TC ve arkadaşları sjogren sendromlu lökositoklastik vaskulit gelişen bir olguda proteinüri gelişmesi üzerine yapılan böbrek biyopsisinde kresentik formasyonlu IgA glomerulonefriti çıktığını rapor etmişlerdir (7). Bizim vakamızda hem cilt biyopsisinde hem de böbrek biyopsisinde IgA birikimleri görülmemiş olup bu yüzden Henoch-Schönlein purpurası ve IgA nefropatisi düşünülmemiştir.…”

Nephrotic syndrome presenting in a patient with primary Sjögren’s syndrome—answers

“…Risk factors for glomerulonephritis include presence of palpable purpura, hypocomplementemia, and cryoglobulinemia, suggesting a role for immune complex deposition [10]. Among patients with glomerulonephritis, the most commonly reported histopathology is MPGN, but there are also reports of membranous nephropathy, FSGS, and IgA nephropathy [10][11][12][13]. In a study of 60 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, patients with renal involvement were similar to those without renal disease in terms of sex, age, serological findings, and extra-renal manifestations.…”
