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.
