The Glomerular Lesions in Endotheliotropic Hemolytic Nephroangiopathy (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, Malignant Nephrosclerosis, Post Partal Renal Insuff…

The term "Endotheliotropic Hemolytic Nephroangiopathy" (EHN) comprises various clinically or pathomorphologically defined disease states with severe renal lesions (e.g. hemolytic uremic syndrome, malignant nephrosclerosis, post partum renal insufficiency) which, to date, have been considered as different entities. We attempted to assign accompanying glomerular changes based upon light and electron microscopy to the above mentioned clinical pictures and their various stages. The accordingly classified glomerular lesions (G1--G3 and Ga) are of critical importance in pathohistological differential diagnosis. Since it is assumed that fibrin is a causing event in the pathogenesis of the vascular…
Total body irradiation and cyclophosphamide is a conditioning regimen for unrelated bone marrow transplantation in a patient with chronic myelogenous…

Five years after the diagnosis of Ph chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) a 31-year-old patient developed malignant nephrosclerosis with renal failure. He then underwent an allogeneic unrelated BMT in first chronic phase CML. The preparative regimen consisted of fractionated total body irradiation (TBI) and cyclophosphamide (CY). We studied the pharmacokinetics of cyclophosphamide on hemodialysis and compared clinical parameters including time to engraftment and toxicity with parameters of a patient with normal renal function who also received an unrelated marrow as treatment for CML in first chronic phase. Our results suggest that TBI/CY is a suitable conditioning regimen for…
Endotheliotropic (hemolytic) nephroangiopathy and its various manifestation forms (thrombotic microangiopathy, primary malignant nephrosclerosis, hem…

In hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) various lesion types in the kidneys are observed in childhood. These are designated as the “glomerular type=G type” (essentially identical with thrombotic microangiopathy), as “arterial type=A type” (essentially identical with primary malignant nephrosclerosis (PMN)) or as “mixed type=G/A type”. With reference to characteristic cases, the most important morphological findings are described. In adults, in whom other diagnostic terms are used besides HUS, the same nephropathological types are observed. In the two phases of life, there occurs in addition renal cortical necrosis in subtotal nephroangiothrombosis. The G type and A type also have a different cli…
