Rheumatoid disease presenting as a nephrotic syndrome.
A 62 year old man with no relevant previous history presented with a nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy showed a membranous glomerulopathy and coincident investigation showed high serum titres of rheumatoid factors. It was not until some months later that he developed articular and extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis.
