[Diabetic nephropathy, hypothyroidism and colfibrate-induced myopathy (author's transl)]

A case of a pluriglandular-insufficiency syndrome (Diabetes mellitus and primary hypothyroidism) is described. The history and symptomatology of the patient is presented and prevously published references are briefly discussed. The case reported was complicated by renal insufficiency and by a "muscle-syndrome" after clofibrate therapy for hyperlipidemia--two complications, which were possibly intensified by the hypothyroid state of the patient.
