Renal involvement in epidermolysis bullosa patients: a case series study

Abstract

specifically looking at renal dysfunction (urinary nitrogen/plasmatic creatinine, serum amyloid A and electrolytes in plasma), hematuria (urinalysis) and proteinuria (micro albuminuria). When a urological cause is discarded, a renal biopsy is highly advice to obtain a specific diagnosis, and eventually its, treatment and prognosis. The biopsy is afterwards sent for histopathology analysis, which includes light microscopy, immune fluorescence and electron microscopy.
