The first patient had hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome due to renal amyloidosis and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS). The second patient had hypothyroidism and associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). The third patient with hypothyroidism had obstructive acute renal failure caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis.
