| Abstract | Introduction: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (GN) is characterized by necrotizing and crescentic GN with paucity of immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement deposition, which is also known as pauci-immune crescentic GN. Membranous nephropathy (MN) is characterized by the formation of subepithelial immune deposit with resultant changes in glomerular basement membrane (GBM), most notably spike formation. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man presented with marked proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and renal dysfunction with positive results for myeloperoxidase (MPO) and ANCA. Renal biopsy revealed crescents and thick GBM with subepithelial spikes along with IgG deposition on immunofluorescent staining. The condition was diagnosed as MN with MPO-ANCA-associated crescentic GN. He was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide. After one-month follow-up, antibody level and renal function did not improve. Conclusions: Coexistence of MN with MPO-ANCA crescentic GN is very rare and should be managed aggressively. | en |
