A 63-year-old man with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis of the immune-complex type showed typical findings of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis involving the left ureter resulting in hydronephrosis. Treatment with steroid improved both conditions. Our case and previously reported cases showing the same association of conditions support the hypothesis that the association is not fortuitous but reflects a common immunological mechanism.
一名63岁患有免疫复合物型快速进展性肾小球肾炎的男性,表现出特发性腹膜后纤维化累及左输尿管导致肾积水的典型症状。使用类固醇治疗使两种病情均得到改善。我们的病例以及先前报道的显示相同病情关联的病例均支持这样一种假说,即这种关联并非偶然,而是反映了一种共同的免疫机制。
