Abstract 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.
