Overview
There are multiples causes for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Main are autoimmune diseases, mainly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, inherited complement deficiencies (esp C2 deficiency), scleroderma, Celiac disease .Chronic infections also play major role such as viral infections like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and cryoglobulinemia type II, bacterial infections such as endocarditis, infected ventriculoatrial (or jugular) shunt, multiple visceral abscesses, leprosy. Protozoal - malaria, schistosomiasis. Rare causes of MPGN include non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal cell carcinoma, snake venom, splenorenal shunt surgery for portal hypertension , melanoma, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, and cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis Idiopathic MPGN is a diagnosis of exclusion.
Causes
Main causes of membranoproliferative pattern of injury are listed as follows:
- Immune complex–mediated disease
- Idiopathic forms of MPGN or of unknown association[1]
- MPGN type I
- MPGN type II or dense deposit disease.
- MPGN type III
- Autoimmune diseases[2][3][4]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- Sjögren syndrome
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Inherited complement deficiencies, in particular, C2 deficiency
- Scleroderma
- Celiac disease
- Chronic infections
- Viral - Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and cryoglobulinemia type II
- Bacterial - Endocarditis, infected ventriculoatrial (or jugular) shunt, multiple visceral abscesses, leprosy
- Protozoal - Malaria, schistosomiasis
- Other infections - Mycoplasma, Lyme Disease[5]
- Miscellaneous - Chronic liver disease (cirrhosis and alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency)
- Idiopathic forms of MPGN or of unknown association[1]
- Chronic and recovered thrombotic microangiopathies
- Healing phase of hemolytic uremic syndrome and/or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Syndromes of circulating antiphospholipid (anticardiolipin) antibodies
- Radiation nephritis
- Nephropathy associated with bone marrow transplantation
- Sickle cell anemia and polycythemia
- Transplant glomerulopathy
- Paraprotein deposition diseases
- Glomerulonephropathies associated with cryoglobulinemia type I
- Waldenström macroglobulinemia
- Immunotactoid glomerulopathy
- Immunoglobulin light chain or heavy chain deposition diseases
- Fibrillary glomerulonephritis
