Overview

Causes

Conditions associated with a 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 and PLD
    • 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
  • Miscellaneous - Chronic liver disease (cirrhosis and alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency)
  • 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
  • Malignant neoplasms
  • Lymphoma
  • Leukemia
