Glomerulopathyis a disease that impacts the glomeruli in thenephron,either inflammatory or noninflammatory.[1]Glomerulopathy includescollapsing glomerulopathy,glomerulocystic kidney disease,glomerulomegaly,membranous nephropathy,and tip lesion glomerulopathy.[2]
Collapsing glomerulopathy(CG) is a clinicopathologic entity that involveshypertrophyandhyperplasiaofpodocytesand segmentar or global collapse of theglomerulus.[3]
Glomerulocystic kidney diseaseis a rare form ofrenal cystdisease. Cortical microcysts, which are portrayed by cystic dilatation ofBowman's spaces,are its defining feature.[4]
Glomerulomegaly is defined by unusually largeglomeruli.[5]
Membranous nephropathy(MN) is an uncommonautoimmune conditionin whichautoantibodiesdirected primarily againstpodocyteantigens target theglomerulus,causing electron-denseimmune complexesto form, complement activation to occur, and severeproteinuria.[6]
The glomerular tip lesion (GTL) is a unique histopathologic lesion that appears in idiopathicnephrotic syndromepatients.[7]
