Abstract
- =Abstract= Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a progressive primary glomerulonephritis characterized by mesangial proliferation with increased mesangial matrix, subendothelial immune deposits, mesangial interposition and a double contour feature of the glomerular basement membrane. The glomerular involvement in MPGN is usually diffuse; however, cases of focal or segmental MPGN have been reported by several authors. We report a case of focal segmental MPGN with prolonged hypocomplementemia for 3 years in a 5 years old girl.
