IgA nephropathy in a patient with ulcerative colitis, Graves' disease and positive myeloperoxidase ANCA

Elaine Ku et al. Clin Nephrol. 2012 Feb.

Abstract

We report a case of a 38-year old woman with a history of ulcerative colitis and Graves' disease who presented with pyoderma gangrenosum, microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and positive myeloperoxidase ANCA. A renal biopsy revealed a focal proliferative glomerulonephritis with IgA deposits. All these manifestations are likely secondary to ulcerative colitis or to a common pathogenetic mechanism.
