2.Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulossclerosis and Minimal Change Disease as one Spectrum of Disease
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2018;14(3):64-66
Minimal Change Disease (MCD) and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are common causes of nephrotic syndrome. These two conditions are similar in their presentations but differentiated via their histopathological features and responsiveness to corticosteroids. There are ongoing debates whether MCD and FSGS are at the same spectrum of disease rather than separate entities. FSGS has been postulated to be the severe end of the spectrum of MCD. We have reported a case that has primary FSGS after years of poorly controlled MCD, which supports both conditions are the same spectrum of disease.

Renal involvement is one of the extra-articular manifestations found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Membranous glomerulonephopathy, membranoproliferative glomeruonophritis, secondary amyloidosis, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are reported as pathologic diagnoses of renal involvement. However, reports of renal involvement in patients with RA and antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated pauci-immune glomerulonephritis are rare. Recently, we experienced two patients with RA who developed azotemia and were finally diagnosed with ANCA-associated pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Because of the rarity of these cases, we report two cases in patients with RA with a literature review.

BACKGROUND: The number of glomerulus has been considered one of the etiologic factors especially for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. However. glomeruli are too many to calculate them correctly. Although the fractionator method has became convinced, in which they used selected sections, not whole kidney sections, with same intervals, it is also very hard to get good results. Because it is still very time-consuming and laborous work which leads to make big observers' biases. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We designed the index for glomerular number to estimate the tendency of increase or decrease of the number of it in different kidneys and which was evaluated by other conventional methods including fractionator method. Index was based upon the theory by 1\yengaard: "the number of glomerulus correlates with the weight of kidney, which is positively correlated with body weight". Calculating formula is the number of glomeruli/surface areas of cortices which contain calculated glomeruli multiplies by kidney weight/body weight. RESULTS: We applied this index to kidneys of FGS/Kist mouse and those of RFM/ Nga mouse. The former is spontaneous glomerulosclerosis modelwith heavy protein uria and renal failure and the latter is the mother side of FGS/Kist mouse but has no glomerular disease or protein uria. The number of glomerulus of FGS/Kist mouse was decreased by 30% to those of RFM/Nga mouse. CONCLUSION: This index was useful and reliable for estimating the relative glomerular number between two groups.

10.Primary glomerulonephritis: A review of important recent discoveries.
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice 2013;32(3):103-110
The publication of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines on the treatment of glomerular diseases in 2012 marked a milestone in this field, asitisthe first time that comprehensive guidelines are provided for such disease entities. The current review focuses on major findings, both path ogenesis related and clinical, in the primary glomerulonephritis that have been made after the guidelines came into effect.
