Clinical Information
Collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy (CG), also called collagen type III glomerulopathy, is a rare kidney disease characterized by large amounts of atypical type III collagen fibrils in the mesangium and subendothelial space of renal glomeruli. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry performed on microdissected glomeruli from patients with CG demonstrates a unique proteomic profile. The presence of type III collagen, in the appropriate clinical and pathological context, can be useful to establish a diagnosis of CG.
