Abstract
- Membranous glumerulonephrophy was found in two men who were diagnosed as psoriasis vulgaris. In the first patient, membranous glumerulonephropathy was developed during treatment of psoriasis and deterioration of proteinuria was appeared with aggravation of skin lesion although treated with cyclophosphamide. In the second patient, psoriasis developed during treatment of membranous glomerulonephropathy and we observed the improvement of nephrotic syndrome and psoriasis with prednisolone treatment. The simultaneous deterioration and improvement of proteinuria and skin lesion of psoriasis suggests that underlying common immune abnormalities may be involved in the pathogenesis of both psoriasis and membranous glomerulopathy.
