[Immunotactoid glomerulonephritis].
Immunotactoid glomerulonephritis is a rare disease of unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Clinically immunotactoid glomerulonephritis manifests itself as the nephrotic syndrome in most cases. The diagnosis of the disease is based on electron microscopic findings and characterized by tubules, average 30 nm in diameter, aligned in parallel in the deposits of immune complexes. Light optic and immunohistochemical studies in this disease are not pivotal. Further investigation may reply to a number of questions at the formation of deposits of immune complexes and procedures of their elimination.
