Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Occurrence of glomerular disease in psoriasis is rare, though the number of case reports is increasing in the recent years. Different types of glomerular involvement have been reported but mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with IgA deposits is common in association with psoriasis. The term ‘psoriatic nephropathy’ has been introduced recently. We contribute a case to the on-going discussion regarding psoriatic nephropathy. Our patient had mesangio-proliferative glomerulonephritis with IgA (3+), IgG (1+) IgM(2+) and C3(2+) in association with psoriasis. The patient was managed on maintenance haemodialysis and immunosuppressive therapy (cyclophosphamide).
