Abstract
- Patients with autoimmune thyroid disease commonly have accompanying forms of systemic autoimmune disease. Some reports have indicated an association between autoimmune thyroiditis and the glomerulonephropathies. The most commonly reported glomerulonephropathy related to autoimmune thyroiditis is membranous glomerulonephritis, but it has not been reported in a case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who had Graves' disease combined with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis confirmed by a renal biopsy.
