Dermatomyositis Sine Myositis with Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis

الملخص EN

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by involvement of proximal musculature and skin.

We report a 52-year-old woman with a 6-year history of dermatomyositis sine myositis, who developed lower extremity edema and proteinuria.

Pathological examination of renal biopsy showed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

She received steroid, cyclophosphamide, and mycophenolate mofetil.

Over the 9 to 10 months after the beginning of treatment, the proteinuria was improved.
