C3 Dominant Collapsing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis - A Report of Two Rare Cases.
Collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) a heterogeneous group of disorders, rather than a single disease entity. Kidney biopsy shows segmental or globally collapsed, sclerotic glomerular capillaries. There is also hypertrophy and hyperplasia of overlying glomerular epithelial cells. Immuno-fluorescence is negative or has non-specific deposits of immunoglobulins and C3. We present two cases of C3 dominant collapsing FSGS. Both the cases were non-responsive to therapy and had a poor outcome. This calls for research to study the role of the complement pathway in the pathogenesis of FSGS.
