Partial lipodystrophy with nephrotic syndrome.

A patient with nephrotic syndrome in association with partial lipodystrophy is reported. The features of partial lipodystrophy are well recognized and the renal lesion is a mesangiocapillary glomerulo-nephritis of a dense deposit type with an associated depression of C3. This type of kidney involvement is becoming increasingly recognized as common in the syndrome of partial lipodystrophy.

Normal radiological renal size: simple estimation from single urogram series.

A normal range of kidney size can be defined from a single, technically adequate, excretory urogram series. Relation of kidney length to distance between L1 to L3 bodies inclusive gives a better indication of normal size, than comparison between kidney length and a single vertebra. The span of the normal range of kidney length to lumbar spine ratio is such that its application to a given radiological examination will be of marginal value.
