Case 1
1,5-year-old boy with peripheral oedema for one month. On admission to hospital proteinuria of nephrotic level, microscopic hematuria, normal serum creatinin and normal diuresis were observed. Steroid therapy was started, without response. Hematuria increased up to 30 RBC/eyefield. ANA, ANCA, GBM-Ab, C3 normal, C4 marginally low, no evidence of streptococcal infection. Percutaneous renal biopsy specimen was not adequate. Therefore a surgical wedge biopsy was taken. Immunofluorescence staining showed diffuse, granular, mesangial staining for IgM (++), C1q (++), IgG (+) and C3 (+) in glomeruli.
