title: [Extra-capillary proliferation complicating the development of an extramembranous idiopathic glomerulonephritis].
abstract: Occurrence of crescentic formation superimposed to idiopathic membranous glomerulopathy worsens severely its prognosis with evolution to end stage renal disease. We report the case of a 65 years old man with nephrotic idiopathic membranous glomerulopathy who subsequently developed an acute renal failure secondary to crescentic formation. Pulse of high dose methylprednisolone administration improved renal function. Seven similar observations are analysed and pathogenic mechanisms discussed.
