Several viruses are involved in the development of systemic vasculitides. Hepatitis C virus
(HCV) has been shown to be closely related to mixed cryoglobulinaemia, an immune …

Objective: Recent outcomes enhanced the critical role of glycosylation pattern of
autoantibodies in the pathophysiology of antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. In this …

Cryoglobulins consist of serum immunoglobulins that precipitate below 37° C and

In order to successfully colonize or invade a host, microorganisms need mechanisms to
escape recognition by the immune system or to modulate the responses directed against the …

The most common renal injury associated with hepatitis C virus infection, in patients both
with and without evidence of cryoglobulinemia, is membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis …

The kidney is frequently involved in the course of monoclonal gammopathies (MG). Renal
involvement presents different clinical-morphological patterns, which can occur either at the …

Cryoglobulins are immunoglobulins that precipitate in serum at temperatures below 37 C

Many forms of glomerulonephritis are triggered by Ab localization in the glomerulus, but the
mechanisms by which this induces glomerular inflammation are not fully understood. In this …
