    Abstract:
    A middle-aged women with hypothyroidism, idiopathic portal hypertension and nephrotic syndrome is presented. This unusual clinical appearance could not be explained as SLE by serological examinations. Pathohistological examinations showed "Banti's liver", Hashimoto's thyroiditis and diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with severe tubulo-interstitial nephritis. Immunohistochemical studies revealed IgA deposits in glomeruli. Electron microscopic study disclosed peculiar lucent areas of rarefaction with osmiophilic particles in tubular basement membranes. This tubulointerstitial nephritis was considered to be related to the immunological mechanism involving thyroid gland, liver and kidney disorders. This case thus had a clinically rare combination of these three.
