Coexisting Membranous Nephropathy and IgA Nephropathy

Abstract

We herein present a case of a 14-year-old boy with the histological features of coexisting membranous nephropathy (MN) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Asymptomatic hematuria/proteinuria was initially detected in school urinary screening, with treatments including oral corticosteroids leading to complete remission. Cases of coexisting MN and IgAN are very rare among the pediatric population; however, the overlap of these two nephropathies does not always imply a deleterious clinical outcome in pediatric cases.
