A case of Takayasu's arteritis associated with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome.
We describe a 57-year-old Japanese female who had Takayasu's arteritis associated with nephrotic syndrome due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Although a focal and segmental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Takayasu's arteritis has been described, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has not been reported previously in this condition.
