متن کاملSjögren Syndrome-Related Membranous Glomerulonephritis Progressing to Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis
We report a case of glomerulopathy in a 36-year-old Japanese woman with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS). The first renal biopsy suggested membranous glomerulonephritis. However, repeat biopsy was performed after 16 years because of increased proteinuria, revealing membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits, subendothelial deposits, and subepithelial deposits. Immunofluoresc...
