Abstract

Parasitic infections may be responsible for acute or chronic diseases which may result in a variety of renal complications. These are more often caused by host’s immune response to infection or by anti-parasite chemotherapy.Different clinical syndromes are associated with each type of glomerulopathy. The clinical manifestations range from isolated proteinuria to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.Parasitic diseases incriminated include: malaria, schistosomiasis, kala azar, trypanosomiasis, toxoplasmosis, trichinosis, babesiosis, hydatid disease, and filariasis.Kidney transplant recipients may acquire significant parasitic diseases. Owing to the fact that these patients are immunosuppressed, both morbidity and mortality are considerably augmented and the clinical picture could be misleading.
