| Abstract | Background Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, with its immune complex variety and C3 glomerulopathy, is a rare glomerular disease in children. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical features and short-term outcomes in children. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, from January 2020, to June 2022. All the children with membranoproliferative lesions identified via light microscopy and less than 18 years were included. Results A total of 35 children were diagnosed MPGN, 7 (20%) with C3 glomerulopathy and 28 (80%) idiopathic immune complex MPGN. In the IC-MPGN group, 14 patients (50%) had crescentic glomerulonephritis. Induction therapy consisted of cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone followed by steroids, azathioprine was prescribed for maintenance phase. At the 18-month follow-up, 9 (64%) patients were in complete remission (CR), 3 (21%) were in partial remission (PR), and 2 (15%) progressed to chronic kidney disease. The remaining 14 (50%) had non-crescentic idiopathic IC-MPGN and were prescribed steroids only, cyclophosphamide with steroids and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. The outcomes at 18 months were relatively poorer than those with the crescentic variety. Four (28%) patients achieved CR, 8 (56%) PR, and 2 (14%) did not respond. In the C3 glomerulopathy cohort, 3 (43%) had crescentic glomerulonephritis, one child was in CR, and two were in PR. The non-crescentic C3G were kept on ACEI 3 (43%) and Mycophenolate mofetil 1 (14%). One child treated with ACEIs achieved a PR, two were in CR, and one child treated with MMF did not respond. Conclusions The outcome of MPGN (immune complex and C3G) is quite variable, and aggressive therapy for crescentic glomerulonephritis may show a favourable response. Considering the similar clinical presentations and patient outcomes, C3G and IC-MPGN might represent two facets of the same disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
