Abstract
Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is a rare glomerular disease defined by the presence of microfibrils that deposit within the glomeruli. While initially thought to be idiopathic, FGN is now recognized to be associated with infection, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders. We describe a case of biopsy-proven FGN in a patient with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and provide a review of the literature regarding the association of FGN with RA.
