Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults worldwide. A growing body of evidence indicates a pathogenic and autoimmune correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection, MN, and autoimmune liver disease.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old African American woman presented to our institution with epigastric pain and vomiting. In-patient hospital workup included a thorough abdominal evaluation including esophagogastroduodenoscopy and liver biopsy, which revealed active H. pylori infection and autoimmune hepatitis. The patient was incidentally also found to have nephrotic-range proteinuria. Renal workup including kidney biopsy established the diagnosis of MN. Proteinuria improved after initiation of triple therapy for H. pylori infection.
CONCLUSION: This case adds to the growing evidence of a correlation between H. pylori infection, MN, and autoimmune liver disease. This report demonstrates a unique case of a patient with MN, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)/primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and HP who underwent triple-eradication antibiotic treatment that resulted in an ultimate resolution of all these conditions.
