Abstract
A 56-year-old woman developed nephrotic syndrome in association with p ulmonary sarcoidosis. Renal biopsy revealed both granulomatous interst itial nephritis and membranous nephropathy. Treatment with steroids re sulted in a decrease in proteinuria and there was no deterioration in renal function over a subsequent period of 10 months. This case provid es further evidence that secondary membranous nephropathy associated w ith sarcoidosis should be treated with steroids.
