Urinalysis showed nephrotic range proteinuria. Renal function deteriorated necessitating hemodialysis (HD). A renal biopsy revealed an immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). Elevated thyroid hormones and suppressed TSH levels with elevated thyroperoxidase antibodies and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins confirmed the diagnosis of Graves\u2019 disease. Corticosteroids were commenced and eventually thiamazole was added with gradual improvement of renal function, cessation of HD and discharge from the hospital.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Graves\u2019 disease complicated by MPGN is extremely rare, but can cause life-threatening complications.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpem-2018-0186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,18]],"date-time":"2018-09-18T05:02:01Z","timestamp":1537246921000},"page":"1165-1168","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A case of Graves\u2019 disease associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and leukocytoclastic vasculitis"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Werner","family":"Keenswijk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Degraeuwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Hoorens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo Van","family":"Dorpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"Vande Walle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1119","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1108178","article-title":"Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis \u2013 a new look at an old entity","volume":"366","year":"2012","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"ref191","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1982.01650170010012","article-title":"Leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
