چکیده
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.

Membranous nephropathy with repeated flares in IgG4-related disease
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is associated with the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells into various organs. Nephropathy of IgG4-RD is generally interstitial nephritis and glomerulonephritis is rare. We describe a case of membranous nephropathy (MN) without interstitial nephritis associated with IgG4-RD symptoms including lymphadenopathy and pulmonary and pleural lesions. Treatment wit...

Toxic nephropathies manifest morphologically as glomerulonephritides, vasculitides, tubular necrosis, and acute or chronic tubulointerstitial disease. The most common toxicity is acute interstitial nephritis owing to hypersensitivity. However, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and necrotizing angiitis secondary to heroin abuse, membranous glomerulopathy owing to gold, penicillamine and captopr...

We present the case of a patient with IgG4-related disease, which manifested in an asynchronous manner as vitiligo, cholecystitis, sialadenitis, lymphadenopathy, facial palsy and kidney dysfunction. The patient underwent a renal biopsy, and a presumptive diagnosis of lupus nephritis was made due to compatible clinical and immunological findings. The biopsy revealed IgG4-related kidney disease w...
