Hypothyroidism may coexist with different renal pathologies. Several cases of glomerular diseases have been associated with thyroid diseases of which the most frequent lesion described is membranous glomerulopathy, presented as a nephrotic syndrome. Although pseudohypothyroidism is well-known in nephrotic pathophysiology, actual hypothyroidism are uncommon. We report here an unusual association of hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's disease with nephrotic syndrome due to membranoproliferative glumerulonephritis which were revealed by hormone & antibody assay and renal biopsy respectively.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is very rare and difficult to diagnose before 5 years of age. We are reporting a case of SLE at 2.5- year who presented with recurrent episodes of fever, haematuria , proteinuria and rash . Diagnosis of SLE was confirmed by reduced serum complement level and positive anti double stranded DNA (anti ds DNA). Class IV histological type of Lupus nephritis was evaluated by renal biopsy DOI: 10.3329/jbcps.v28i1.4647 J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2010; 28: 59-62
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
