Popis: There is sufficient clinical and morphological evidence to suggest that Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis (FGN) and Immunotactoid (IT) Glomerulopathy are two different diseases. Is still open to debate if IT glomerulopathy is a distinct entity or is strictly associated with a spectrum of systemic syndromes ("forme fruste" of Cryoglobulin and paraprotein associated diseases). Further studies about pathogenetic mechanisms of fibril or microtubule formation may allow a better understanding of these diseases.
