Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), usually presents with renal dysfunction, hypertension and proteinuria. The etiology is uncertain, yet a number of associations, including many viral infections commonly have been reported. Tuberculosis (TB), one of the most common infections, is not known to cause CG. We report a case of severe renal dysfunction requiring dialysis who had collapsing glomerulopathy on biopsy and evidence of active pulmonary tuberculosis. Anti-tubercular therapy alone resulted in improvement in kidney function.
塌陷性肾小球病（CG）通常表现为肾功能不全、高血压和蛋白尿。其病因尚不确定，但已报道了许多关联因素，包括多种病毒感染。结核病（TB）是最常见的感染之一，目前尚不清楚它是否会导致CG。我们报告了一例严重肾功能不全需要透析的病例，该患者活检显示为塌陷性肾小球病，并有活动性肺结核的证据。单独抗结核治疗使肾功能得到改善。
