  • Title: [Renal involvement in malaria (author's transl)].
    Author: Weise M, Ehrich JH, Voller A.
    Journal: Klin Wochenschr; 1976 Jul 15; 54(14):651-60. PubMed ID: 135874.
    Abstract:
    Malaria infection leads to renal involvement. Reversible proteinuria accompanies many plasmodial infections. Chronic malarial nephrotic syndrome is specifically associated with quartan malaria. Acute renal failure is restricted to infections with Plasmodium falciparum. The pathogenesis of renal involvement during malarial infections includes immunological mechanisms. It is now realized that there exist at least two types of immunological processes: acute transient immune-complex glomerulonephritis with reversible proteinuria and chronic immune-complex glomerulonephritis with irreversible nephrotic syndrome.
