The use of AAS can affect the kidneys and lead to a myriad of presentations, ranging from mildly elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen to irreversible chronic kidney disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). To the best of our knowledge, the coexistence of interstitial nephritis and the cellular variant of FSGS [Immunoglobulin M (IgM)] secondary to AAS abuse has not been previously reported in the literature. Here, we report the case of a 40-year-old bodybuilder who developed simultaneous interstitial nephritis and the cellular variant of FSGS (IgM) after short-term use of AAS and other dietary supplements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/1319-2442.390263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,27]],"date-time":"2023-11-27T05:22:29Z","timestamp":1701062549000},"page":"839-843","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Coexistence
