celiac disease can be accompanied with multiorgan involvement in addition to gastro-intestinal involvement. a 16-year-old young man - known case of celiac disease - was admitted because of exacerbation of gastrointestinal complaints. during further investigations, hypothyroidism and membranous glomerulonephritis were discovered. the patient was improved with a gluten-free diet and specific trea...

Membranous nephropathy is a common form of glomerulonephritis that typically presents with nephrotic syndrome between the 3rd and 5th decades one-third patients experience spontaneous remission. Here, patient primary membranous presented.

Membranous glomerulonephritis can occur as a rare paraneoplastic complication of human cancers. In this case report, we describe a patient who presented acutely with symptoms of the nephrotic syndrome including heavy proteinuria and anasarca. He was subsequently diagnosed with membranous glomerulonephritis, and soon afterwards was found to have stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. Following c...

Idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis (IMGN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Disease progression is associated with the magnitude and duration of proteinuria [Reichert LJ, Koene RA, Wetzels JF. Prognostic factors in idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Am J Kidney Dis 1998; 31: 1-11]. Membranous nephropathy is also one of the glomerular diseases that is well d...

We report a case of a 71-year-old man with rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome and dual positivity for anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody and myeloperoxidase-specific anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic, mainly cellular, glomerulonephritis with granulomatous lesions, and advanced membranous changes. Membranous nephropathy had apparently existed for ...

glomerulonephritis, three focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, one diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, and one membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. All of the five patients with membranous glomerulonephritis were hepatitis B surface antigen positive and all were boys aged 5 to 9 years (mean 7.8). None responded to steriods but their natural history has been one of slow recovery. Three...
