Hypothyroidism, Nephrotic SyndromeAbstract
Hypothyroidism may coexist with different renal pathologies. Several cases of glomerular diseases have been associated with thyroid diseases of which the most frequent lesion described is membranous glomerulopathy, presented as a nephrotic syndrome. Although pseudohypothyroidism is well-known in nephrotic pathophysiology, actual hypothyroidism are uncommon. We report here an unusual association of hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's disease with nephrotic syndrome due to membranoproliferative glumerulonephritis which were revealed by hormone & antibody assay and renal biopsy respectively.
