    Abstract:
    Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and painful episodes of sterile polyserositis. Kidney involvement may occur as a result of secondary amyloidosis during the course of FMF. Previously, different types of glomerulopathies such as IgM and IgA nephropathy, crescentic glomerulonephritis, diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis, minimal change disease, and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis were rarely reported. We herein represent a first case of membranous glomerulonephritis who had complete remission with colchicine treatment in the course of familial Mediterranean fever.
