Acoustic neuroma, also known as [[Acoustic neuroma|vestibular schwannoma]], [[Acoustic neuroma|acoustic neurinoma]] and [[Acoustic neuroma|acoustic neurilemoma]], is a tumor that develops from [[Schwann cell|schwannom cells]] covering [[vestibular nerve]] of [[inner ear]] to brain. The tumor is noncancerous and also usually features as slow growing one, but it may rarely have rapidly growing features and the consequences of this growth is pressure against brain and interference with vital function. The patient can be alerted about his disease by [[Hearing loss|loss of hearing]] on one side, [[Tinnitus|ringing in ears]], [[dizziness]] and [[Disequilibrium|balance problems]].

Overview

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis ( MPGN ), also known as mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, is a type of  glomerulonephritis and an uncommon cause of chronic nephritis caused by dense deposits in the kidney glomerular mesangium. It can be subdivided into secondary and idiopathic forms, which can distinguished by clinical features, laboratory data and renal histopathology. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is a type of  glomerulonephritis (GN), which can happen due to malfunction of immune system. Each individual immune system is responsible for fight against infections or other kind of disease to maintain health, inversely in autoimmune disorders such as MPGN, immune system starts to attack healthy cell same as what happen in MPGN and eventuate in destruction of kidney glomeruli.
