Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an autoimmune condition that is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in nondiabetic adults. In this study, we highlight a case of a 22-year-old male with a past medical history of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) who initially presented with right flank pain and hematuria. Subsequent workup revealed significant proteinuria with biopsy-proven primary MN. Early detection of the disease is critical to establish treatment promptly and prevent complications such as those resulting from a hypercoagulable state.
膜性肾病(MN)是一种自身免疫性疾病,是非糖尿病成年人肾病综合征的常见病因。在本研究中,我们重点介绍了一例22岁男性病例,该患者既往有先天性多发性关节挛缩症(AMC)病史,最初表现为右侧胁腹疼痛和血尿。后续检查发现大量蛋白尿,活检证实为原发性MN。疾病的早期检测对于及时确立治疗并预防诸如高凝状态导致的并发症至关重要。
