Ankylosing spondylitis and glomerulonephritis. Study of a case.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a seronegative spondyloartropathy associated with IgA glomerulonephritis. We described a case not associated with IgA immunoglobulin deposition in the glomerulus, but with C3 complement deposition. At the same time circulating immune complexed of the IgG type were found. The possible association of glomerulonephritis and seronegative spondyloartropathies are discussed.
