    The Mutation Identified in TWEAK-Fn14 Pathway May Affect the Clinical Course of IgA Nephropathy/Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis: A Case Report
    (2021) Celebi, Zeynep Kendi; Turgut, Didem; Erdogmus, Siyar; Avsaroglu, Ezgi; Musabak, Haci Ugur; Colak, Turan
    The TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) gene was first discovered in 1997 and its receptor Fn14 in 2001. TWEAK can be protective or damaging, depending on the status of the tissue. While basal TWEAK and Fn14 concentrations were found to be low in the kidney under normal conditions, TWEAK levels and tissue receptor expression were found to be increased in the presence of an acute injury.We report here the first case with persistent microscopic hematuria since infancy with TWEAK gene mutation, who was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy/Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Nephritis at the age of 18 during a kidney biopsy. The genetic mutation in this patient may have caused a better course of the disease.

    Rapidly Progressive Renal Failure in AA Amyloidosis: A New Clinical and Histopathological Entity for an Old Disease
    (2020) Celebi, Zeynep Kendi; Kiremitci, Saba; Sadioglu, Rezzan Eren; Keven, Kenan; 0000-0003-3279-9796; ABB-9570-2020
    Objective: Secondary renal AA amyloidosis (RAAA) presents with proteinuria and/or as nephrotic syndrome and progresses to end stage renal disease (ESRD) insidiously. However, some patients with secondary amyloidosis show a more rapid renal disease progression than the usual course. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying cause of the rapidly progressive renal disease in the patients with secondary amyloidosis. Materials and Methods: Patients with kidney biopsy proven secondary RAAA were divided into 2 groups: the rapidly progressive group (estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min, who needed renal replacement therapy within one year of diagnosis) and the control group. Biopsy specimens were reevaluated for glomerular-vascular amyloid load, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, and interstitial inflammation. The biopsy characteristics and biochemical parameters were compared between the groups. Results: Histopathological examination showed global amyloid deposition, vascular pole involvement, peritubular capillary amyloid deposition, and severe interstitial inflammation associated with rapidly progressive disease. Estimated glomerular filtration rate was lower and proteinuria was higher in the rapidly progressive group than in the control group. Vascular pole amyloid deposition was found to be a predictor of ESRD in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: This study shows that higher amyloid deposition and severe inflammation revealed in in kidney biopsy of secondary RAAA cases can be risk factors for rapidly progressive renal failure.
