Abstract
-
We report a rare case of primary glomerular disease with both features of IgA nephropathy and membranous glomerulonephritis in a 45 year-old, HBsAg negative man with nephrotic syndrome. Histologically, glomeruli showed mesangial expansion, proliferation of mesangial cells, and diffuse thickening of capillary walls. Direct immunofluorescence demonstrated granular IgG and C3 deposits along the capillary walls and IgA deposits in mesangiums. Granular subepithelial and mesangial depoists were observed by electron microscopy.
