Difference between Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and Thrombotic microangiopathy

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis vs. Thrombotic microangiopathy

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis ("MPGN"), also known as mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, is a type of glomerulonephritis caused by deposits in the kidney glomerular mesangium and basement membrane (GBM) thickening, activating complement and damaging the glomeruli. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a pathology that results in thrombosis in capillaries and arterioles, due to an endothelial injury.

Similarities between Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and Thrombotic microangiopathy

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and Thrombotic microangiopathy have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Periodic acid–Schiff stain, Scleroderma.

Periodic acid–Schiff stain

Periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) is a staining method used to detect polysaccharides such as glycogen, and mucosubstances such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and mucins in tissues.
