Four years ago, the girl went to a local hospital for \u201cvitiligo\u201d, and a routine blood test revealed anemia. The lowest hemoglobin (HGB) was 61 g\/L, and the blood test revealed iron deficiency anemia. She had no menstrual cramps for 2 months. Urine routine showed protein 3+\u223c4+ and 258 red blood cells (RBCs)\/high-power field. Urine protein was 3,380 mg\/24 h. Free thyroxine was low, thyroid-stimulating hormone was &amp;gt;100\u2005uIU\/ml, thyroid peroxidase antibody was &amp;gt;1,000\u2005IU\/ml, and thyroglobulin antibody and thyrotropin receptor antibody were negative. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass in the sellar region with a uniform signal and a maximum height of about 15.8 mm. The result of the antinuclear antibody was 1:80 homogeneous type, and anti-dsDNA and anticardiolipin antibodies IgA and IgM were slightly higher. Thyroxine and iron were given for 1 month, menstruation resumed, and urine protein and RBC count decreased. After 5 months of treatment, free thyroid function, HGB, RBCs in urine, and pituitary returned to normal. Later, a renal biopsy showed changes in focal proliferative glomerulonephritis, and the girl was diagnosed with lupus glomerulonephritis type III. After 3 days of shock therapy with methylprednisolone, prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, and other treatments were administrated for 1 year. At the time of writing, urine protein was 280 mg\/24 h.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Co-occurrence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, vitiligo, anemia, pituitary hyperplasia, and lupus nephritis is rare.
