CONTRERAS-VILLAMIZAR, Kateir Mariel; OROZCO-ORTIZ, Viviana e RUIZ-TALERO, Paula. Membranous glomerulopathy with necrotizing glomerulonephritis. An infrequent association. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.1, pp.39-42. Epub 13-Jun-2019. ISSN 0120-2448.
Background:
the association between membranous glomerulopathy and crescentic necrotizing glomerulonephritis is infrequent: 0.4%, conferring a worst prognosis scenario. Studies that require the optimal treatment scheme are required; however, it has been described that the rapid onset of immunosuppressive therapy impacts on the preservation of renal function.
Objective:
to present a case in which this association is presented and has an adequate response to the performed treatment.
Methods:
in this article, a case of a woman with nephrotic syndrome with a documented membranous glomerulopathy with extracapillary proliferation confirmed by renal biopsy, without evidence of autoimmunity, neoplasia or infectious process is presented. After the diagnosis, treatment with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide was started with adequate evolution, without deterioration of renal function and with improvement of proteinuria.
Conclusion:
the presence of extracapillary proliferation gives worse prognosis in patients with membranous glomerulopathy. The timely initiation of treatment is essential. (Acta Med Colomb 2019; 44: 39-42).
