Tuberculosis is a common disease worldwide. However, it now is clear that tuberculosis can affect the kidney more insidiously. We describe a case of lumbar tuberculosis associated with simultaneous membranous nephropathy and interstitial nephritis, in which recovery of renal function occurred after treatment with steroids in addition to antituberculosis agents.
متن کاملIgG4-Related Tubulointerstitial Nephritis Associated with Membranous Nephropathy in Two Patients: Remission after Administering a Combination of Steroid and Mizoribine
We report two cases of Japanese men who presented with proteinuria, eosinophilia, hypocomplementemia, and high serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) concentration and were diagnosed with membranous nephropathy associated with IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis on renal biopsy. The typical renal lesions of IgG4-related disease are tubulointerstitial nephritis, which improves remarkably with ster...
متن کاملAcute tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with celecoxib.
Four days later (after 3 weeks of complete anuria) diuresis started to resume. Urinalysis revealed proteinuria (4.12 g/24 h), lambda light chains (2.41 g/l) and microhaematuria. Subsequently, complement normalized and urinalysis became negative. Creatinine dropped to 106mmol/l and no paraprotein was detectable in neither serum nor urine. In conclusion, this report describes one of the oldest pa...
متن کاملMembranous Nephropathy Associated with Atheroembolism
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the most common biopsy diagnoses in adults, and it has been associated with chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, and drugs. However, MN associated with cholesterol crystal emboli has never been reported. Here we present a patient with MN as an unusual manifestation of atheroembolism. A 75-year-old man with worsening renal function after ca...

Patients usually present with hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and varying degrees of ...
