Steroid-responsive polyradiculopathy in association with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
An 80-year-old woman presented with simultaneous increasing muscle weakness and nephrotic syndrome. A renal biopsy confirmed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Her neurological diagnosis best fitted with a Guillain-Barre-like syndrome. There have been several cases of FSGS in combination with both conventional and atypical Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Our patient was treated with high-dose steroids and resolution of both nephrotic syndrome and neurological symptoms occurred over 6 months. This article reviews all previously published presentations of this nature and discusses putative mechanisms for the development of concurrent FSGS and GBS.

متن کاملRituximab in adult minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome due to minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis remains a challenge since steroid dependence, steroid resistance and a relapsing disease course exhibits a high cumulative steroid dosage. The necessity of using alternative steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents with potential toxic side effects also restricts their long-term use. Rituximab, ...
