Abstract
|
|
|
|
It has been reported that IgA nephropathy is associated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. However, crescentic glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome are relatively rare. We experienced a patient with IgA nephropathy complicated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis who showed favorable clinical outcomes through steroid treatment. A 54-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was hospitalized for generalized edema, nephrotic-range proteinuria and azotemia. We performed a renal biopsy and crescentic formations were found in half of the glomeruli. After use of steroid, azotemia and proteinuria improved gradually.
