This study highlights a rare case of glomerulonephritis in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis. Prompt anti-tuberculosis treatment led to recovery of renal function, suggesting a link between the infection and kidney disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can present with diverse extrapulmonary manifestations.
  • Glomerulonephritis is an uncommon but serious renal complication associated with infections.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old male presented with acute dyspnea, hemoptysis, hematuria, hypertension, edema, and hemodynamic decompensation.
  • Investigations revealed pulmonary edema, acid-fast bacilli in sputum, nephrotic syndrome, and impaired renal function.
  • Cardiac evaluation showed pericardial and pleural effusions, and reduced cardiac function.

Findings:

  • Renal biopsy confirmed diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescents and glomerular sclerosis.
  • Immunofluorescence revealed immune complex deposition (IgM and C3).

  • The patient's renal function, cardiac status, and effusions improved with anti-TB treatment and supportive care.

    • Implications:

    • This case suggests a potential causal association between pulmonary tuberculosis and glomerulonephritis.
    • Immune complex deposition secondary to tuberculosis may be the underlying mechanism for renal injury.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis are crucial for managing associated renal complications.
