American journal of kidney diseases, 2011•ElsevierWe report the case of a 29-year-old man with membranous nephropathy that was associated
with a sarcoidosic granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis, but was without an apparent
calcium metabolism disorder. Corticosteroid treatment was associated with remission of
nephrotic syndrome. We discuss the relationship between membranous nephropathy and
sarcoidosis based on the close appearance of the 2 diseases and the detection of
phospholipase A2 receptor in glomerular immune deposits.
