Membranous nephropathy and thymoma in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis

Abstract: Rationale: We report a rare case with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), thymoma, and membranous glomerulonephritis. The pathogenic mechanisms of these 3 diseases may be associated with each other. Here, we discuss the course of diagnosis and treatment. Patient concerns: A 64-year-old woman with bilateral pain of the sacroiliac joints for 10 years and anasarca for 10 days. Diagnoses: A diagnosis of AS by HLA-B27 and pelvic X-ray tests, thymoma base… Show more

[10][11][12][13][14] Hypercalcemia often leads to chronic interstitial nephritis, typically accompanied by low-grade proteinuria, and rarely by nephrotic-range proteinuria. 15 Our patient's proteinuria level continued to increase even after achieving control of blood calcium levels.…”
