Abstract:
Membranous glomerulopathy is one of the commonest causes of nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal insufficiency in adults. There has been documented evidence of a poorer prognosis with factors such as male gender, advanced age, increased blood pressure and persistent loss of proteins in the urine, but the overall prognosis of this condition is excellent. Herein, we present the case of a 20-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with primary membranous nephropathy. Normally, cases of primary membranous nephropathy have good outcomes with conservative management and immunosuppressants but our case had a worsening course and a delayed response even with immunosuppressive treatment. This case has been recorded due to its unusual presentation, unnatural course, and outcomes contrary to what is seen in routine clinical practice.

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
