Author ProfileAbstract
Renal involvement in spondyloarthritis is dominated by amyloidosis, IgA
nephropathy and urolithiasis. Other nephropathies are rare . A patient
followed for SpA consults with edema , hydrocele and a pleural effusion.
A FSGS was confirmed by renal biopsy and the etiological investigation
has ruled out the causes of secondary FSGS.
