Abstract

The renal affection is infrequent in scleroderma, unlike other collagen diseases. The appearance of nephrotic syndrome has been related to the drug use, especially the D-penicilamine, or rarely as a manifestation of secondary amylodosis, quite infrequent in scleroderma. We report a case of nephrotic syndrome in a patient with systemic scleroderma, produced by a membranous glomerulonephritis, exceptionally described in literature.

Key words:
Diffuse scleroderma
Nephrotic syndrome
Membranous glomerulonephritis
Resumen

La afección renal es infrecuente en la esclerosis sistémica, a diferencia de otras colagenosis. La aparición de síndrome nefrótico se ha relacionado con el uso de fármacos, especialmente la D-penicilamina, o raramente como manifestación de amiloidosis secundaria, bastante infrecuente en la esclerosis sistémica. Presentamos un caso de síndrome nefrótico en una paciente con esclerosis sistémica, producido por una glomerulonefritis membranosa, descrito de forma excepcional en la literatura.

Palabras clave:
Esclerodermia difusa
Síndrome nefrótico
Glomerulonefritis membranosa
