Abstract

Membranous glomerulonephritis is most often idiopathic, but it can be secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus, viral hepatitis, and drugs. A number of malignancies have also been associated with membranous glomerulonephritis, although a causal link has not been established yet. A young patient with lymphangioleiomyomatosis is described who developed massive proteinuria and was found to have membranous glomerulonephritis on renal biopsy. There were many pathological features and some clinical features that suggested the patient also suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus.
