Abstract
It is imperative to evaluate for secondary causes of membranous glomerulonephritis, from infections such as hepatitis B and C, viruses and parasites, autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, and other neoplasms. Tuberculosis associated with membranous glomerulonephritis is rare. The authors report a case of microbiologically proven pulmonary tuberculosis and membranous nephropathy occurring concurrently in the same patient. Antitubercular therapy alone was sufficient to cause improvement in the patient. Tuberculosis should be recognised as a potentially treatable infectious cause of secondary membranous nephropathy.
