Overview

There are some differential diagnosis mentioned for MPGN as they have some symptoms and signs in shared, the most relevant diseases are acute glomerulonephritis, IgA Nephropathy, LupusNephritis, poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, and rapidly progressive Glomerulonephritis (RPGN).

Differentiating Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis From Other Diseases

According to the pathophysiology of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) various differential diagnosis include :[1]

Differential dignosis for MPGN
Type Disease Pattern of injury
Immune-complex GN
Anti-GBM GN Anti-GBM GN
  • Necrotizing
  • Crescentic
  • Sclerosing
  • Or mixed
Pauci-Immune GN
  • MPO-ANCA GN
  • Proteinase 3-ANCA GN
  • ANCA-negetive GN
  • Necrotizing
  • Crescentic
  • Sclerosing
  • Or multiple
Monoclonal Ig GN
  • Monoclonal Ig deposition disease
  • Proliferative GN with monoclonal Ig deposits
  • Immunotactoid glomerulopathy
  • fibrillary GN with monoclonal Ig deposits
C3 glomerulopathy
  • C3 GN
  • Dense deposits disease

Various types of glomerular diseases should be differentiated from each other based on associations, presence of pitting edema, hematuria, hypertension, hemoptysis, oliguria, peri-orbital edema, hyperlipidemia, type of antibodies, light and electron microscopic features. The above table differentiates between various types of glomerular diseases:
