A rare renal involvement in a patient with axial Spondyloarthritis: don’t miss focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and hyalinosis

Abstract

Renal involvement in spondyloarthritis is dominated by amyloidosis, IgA nephropathy and urolithiasis. Other nephropathies are rare . A patient followed for SpA consults with edema , hydrocele and a pleural effusion. A FSGS was confirmed by renal biopsy and the etiological investigation has ruled out the causes of secondary FSGS.
