  • Title: Secondary polycythaemia associated with idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
    Author: Khan IH, Simpson JG, MacLeod AM, Catto GR.
    Journal: Nephron; 1993; 64(2):310-1. PubMed ID: 8321368.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old man developed idiopathic membranous nephropathy and true secondary polycythaemia. With advancing azotemia, polycythaemia gradually resolved and venesection was no longer required. Only 2 cases of polycythaemia associated with membranous nephropathy have been reported previously. Secondary polycythaemia is a rarely reported association of membranous nephropathy and may increase the risk of thromboembolism, which might be prevented with venesection.
