Abstract

Some reports have showed a link among IgA glomerulonephritis and psoriasis and or use of anti-TNF drugs. We describe the case of a patient with psoriatic arthritis, in use of anti-TNF drugs for four years, who presented an IgA nephropathy aggravated by glomerular crescents at renal biopsy and renal failure requiring hemodialysis. After methylprednisolone IV and three months of oral corticosteroid therapy, there was a partial but significant improvement in renal function and proteinuria. Dialysis treatment was stopped and treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors was started.
