  • Title: [Association between membranous glomerulonephritis and Crohn's disease].
    Author: Díaz Rodríguez C, Granja E, Vázquez Martul E, Sacristán F, Moreno Fernández A, González Rivero C, del Río Romero D, Trinidad JC.
    Journal: Nefrologia; 2004; 24(4):368-71. PubMed ID: 15455498.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 37 year old man who suffered from Crohn's Disease (CD), and was receiving treatment with mesalazine (5-ASA). Nine years after the diagnosis, because of detecting a slight proteinuria, a renal biopsy is made, being the anatomo-pathologic result compatible with membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN). Checking previous literature we have only found two cases reported of MGN in coincidence with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), one in association with Ulcerative Colitis and the other with Crohn's Disease in a 12 years old boy. This is, therefore, the second case presenting MGN associated with CD and the first in an adult patient.
