Glomerulonephritis with associated hypocomplementemia and crescents: an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis.

Fibrillary glomerulonephritis is an unusual, but not rare cause of glomerulonephritis. Hypocomplementemia in association with fibrillary glomerulonephritis has been reported only once previously. A patient with hypocomplementemia and fibrillary deposits as demonstrated by electronmicroscopy is reported. The clinical and pathologic features of fibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glomerulopathy are reviewed.
