Description
A rare kidney disease that threads fibrils through the filtering units landed in a patient already carrying two autoimmune conditions. Rita Afonso, Roberto Calças Marques, Helena Viana, Ana Cabrita, and Ana Paula Silva report the case in 2024 and review what is known about the disease.
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis usually appears from nowhere, though autoimmunity, cancers, and infections can trigger it, and many patients slide toward kidney failure with little proven treatment to offer. Their patient combined the kidney disease with Sjögren's syndrome and a bile duct condition, primary biliary cholangitis, an unusual trio. The case ended well, which the authors highlight against the gloomy literature. They use the report to press for better evidence on how to treat the disease.
